The proposals to be considered at this meeting are as follows. 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 of 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 2026 fiscal year. Turning to the voting results. There are 217,983,195 shares of common stock represented at this meeting, equal to 92.56% of the outstanding common stock of the company.
In voting for directors, the vote in favor is as follows: Brenda Cline, 98.93%; Dennis Degner, 99.25%; Margaret Dorman, 98.89%; Charles Griffie, 98.72%; Chris Kendall, 98.95%; Greg Maxwell, 99.01%; and... I'm sorry, Reginal Spiller, 96.52%. In the advisory voting on the executive compensation proposal, it was approved with 98.61% of the votes cast. With approval of 98.28% of the votes cast, Ernst & Young LLP was ratified as the company's registered public accounting firm for 2026.
