Thank you, Greg. Under the company's bylaws, the Board of Directors set March 17, 2025, as the record date. Notice of this meeting was sent on April 4, 2025. There were 240,140,426 shares of common stock outstanding on the record date. On request, we will make available an affidavit relating to such notice and a certified list of the company's stockholders as of the record date, compiled by the company's transfer agent. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on the matters presented for a vote at this meeting. If anyone has a proxy for a stockholder or wants to vote at this meeting, please email a copy of your proof of stock ownership and your vote to myself at bmcdowell@rangeresources.com at this time. The proposals to be considered at this meeting are as follows.
Proposal 1: The first item will be the election of seven directors to serve on the board until the next annual meeting. Since it is an uncontested election, the stockholders will elect directors by a majority vote as provided by the company's bylaws. The second matter will be to consider and vote on a non-binding proposal regarding executive compensation. The third item is a proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young as the registered public accounting firm for our 2025 fiscal year. Now I'll turn to the voting results. There are 226,624,793 shares of common stock represented at this meeting, equal to 94.37% of the common stock of the company.
