Good morning. I am Neil Bluhm, the Executive Chairman of the company, and I welcome you to this annual meeting of stockholders for Rush Street Interactive. Today's virtual only meeting is a live audio webcast. In light of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, we are holding our meeting in virtual format to protect the health and safety of our stockholders and employees. Thank you very much to those who are participating today. I will act as the Chair of the meeting. Kyle Sauers, who is our Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, will act as Secretary of the meeting. Isaac Kagan, a representative of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust, our transfer agent, will be acting as the Inspector of Election for this meeting and is also in attendance. The meeting will now come to order.
At this time, Kyle Sauers will give the Secretary's report on the notice of this meeting and the affidavit of mailing.
Thank you, Neil, and good morning. Continental Stock Transfer & Trust has provided a list of stockholders of record of the company at the close of business on April 20, 2021, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and vote at this meeting. This list is available in the meeting documents section towards the center of the screen. Continental Stock Transfer & Trust also has provided an affidavit stating that the notice of this annual meeting and the proxy materials were sent to all stockholders of record beginning on or about May 12th of 2021. If you need a copy of the annual report or the proxy statement, copies are available in the meeting documents section towards the center of the screen.
Finally, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust has reported that a majority of the outstanding shares of the company's common stock entitled to vote on the proposals of this meeting are present by proxy. Accordingly, a quorum for this annual meeting of stockholders is present. These materials will be made part of the minutes of this meeting.
We will now proceed with the business of the meeting. First, I'm pleased to introduce the other directors of the company who are attending this meeting: Greg Carlin, who is our Chief Executive Officer, Leslie Bluhm, Judith Gold, James Gordon, Niccolo De Masi, Shelly Rosenberg, Paul Werbicki, and Harry Yu. I would like to introduce the other members of management who are attending this meeting: Richard Schwartz, our President, Kyle Sauers, our Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, Matthias Stenz, our Chief Operating Officer, and Einar Rousseleht, our Chief Information Officer. Our independent public auditors, Withum, Brown and Smith , are also attending and are represented here today by Mark Silverman. To ensure the orderly and expeditious conduct of the business of the meeting, I call your attention to the rules of conduct set forth for this meeting.
These were made available to each stockholder in the meeting documents section towards the center of your screen. We ask that in all fairness to all stockholders attending this meeting, you please honor these rules. As described in the proxy statements, the items of business for today's meeting consist of the election of three Class 1 directors and the ratification of the selection of Withum, Smith & Brown PC as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021. The company has not received notice from any stockholders as required under its bylaws of any other matters to be considered at today's meeting, and so no other proposals may be properly introduced by stockholders. I now declare the polls open for voting at this meeting at 9:04 A.M. Central Time.
If you have not voted or wish to change your vote, you may do so now by clicking on the link provided online. Any stockholder who has already voted and does not want to change their vote need not take any further action. The polls will remain open until immediately after any discussion on today's proposal. Kyle, please present the proposals.
Thank you, Neil. Proposal number one is for the election of the following nominees to serve as Class 1 directors on the board of directors of the company for a three-year term: Judith Gold, Paul Werbicki, and Harry Yu. All of the nominees currently are members of the board of directors of the company. Directors elected today will hold office until the company's annual meeting of stockholders in 2024 and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.
The company's bylaws require any stockholder desiring to nominate a person for election to the board of directors to submit such a nomination in writing and in a timely manner to the Secretary of the company. Since no such stockholder nominations were received, the nominations for election of directors are closed.
Proposal number two is for the ratification of the selection of Withum, Smith & Brown as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31st, 2021.
Let's proceed with voting on the proposals. We will close the polls immediately after any discussion on these proposals. If you wish to vote and have not yet done so, now is the time to submit your vote by clicking on the link provided online. Any stockholder who has already returned a proxy card or voted by telephone or internet and does not want to change their vote need not take any further action. If you have not yet turned in a proxy card or voted, or if you are a stockholder of record and you wish to vote your shares in a manner different than you have indicated on your proxy card, you may do so now by clicking on the link provided online.
If there are any questions regarding the voting procedures or if any stockholder wishes to comment on or raise any questions regarding the proposals now being voted on, you may submit questions by entering your question online under the heading "Submit a Question" and clicking "Submit." If you submit a question and we don't address it during the meeting, perhaps because it wasn't related to the voting procedures or proposals, we will try to follow up with you directly at some point after the meeting. There being no further discussion of the proposals, we will now close the poll. If you wish to submit your vote or change your vote and have not already done so, please submit your vote now by clicking on the link provided online. I now declare the polls closed at 9:09 A.M. Central Time.
Based on the preliminary review of the votes cast, the inspector has informed me that the nominees for director have been duly elected and the selection of Withum, Smith & Brown PC to serve as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31st, 2021, has been duly ratified. The inspector of election certificate and report on the final tabulation of the votes will be annexed to the minutes of this meeting. Final results will be published in a Form 8-K. I am aware of no other business that should be brought before this meeting, and accordingly, adjourn the meeting at 9:10 A.M. Central Time. This concludes our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders. Thank you so much for joining us here this morning. Goodbye.
