Welcome to the 2026 annual shareholder meeting of Rumble Inc. I will now turn the call over to the Chairman and CEO of Rumble, Chris Pavlovski.
Good morning. On behalf of the board of directors, I want to welcome you to the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of Rumble. Thank you for attending today's meeting, which is being conducted virtually. It is shortly after 10:00 A.M. Eastern Time on Thursday, June 11th, 2026. The meeting is now called to order. I am Chris Pavlovski, Chairman and CEO of Rumble. I will act as the Chairman of today's meeting. At this time, we'd like to open the meeting for any stockholder questions that were submitted prior to the meeting or during this meeting in the designated field of the web portal. Questions submitted during the meeting are limited to one per stockholder. We will attempt to answer as many questions as time allows.
If there are unanswered questions at the end of the meeting, we'll post answers to those questions on our investor relations website shortly after the meeting. Only questions that are germane to the matters submitted for vote at today's meeting will be addressed. I now would like to ask Sergey Milyukov , our Associate General Counsel, who is acting as the Secretary of today's meeting, if any such questions have been received.
I can confirm that no such questions have been received.
Thank you, Sergey. The Q&A portion of the meeting is now closed. We will now turn to the business portion of the meeting. I am one of the director nominees and will now introduce the other six nominees. Katie Biber, Paul Cappuccio, Philip Evershed, Ryan Milnes, and Jerry Naumoff. In addition to the director nominees who are current members of our board of directors, we are very pleased to have with us our executive officers and representatives from Baker Tilly US, LLP, our independent auditor. Louis Izzi has been appointed the Inspector of Elections for today's meeting and has submitted his report confirming the proper notice of the meeting was given to the stockholders. Sergey Milyukov , the Secretary of today's meeting, has advised me that all of the formal requirements to conduct this meeting have been met.
Stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote are present today in person or by proxy. A quorum is therefore present. The meeting is therefore lawfully convened. There are two items requiring a vote today. The first matter of business is the election of the six director nominees introduced earlier. The second and final matter of business is the ratification of the selection of Baker Tilly US, LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2026. The polls are now open. Any stockholder who hasn't yet voted or wishes to change their previously submitted vote may do so by clicking on the voting buttons in the web portal and following the instructions.
Stockholders who have submitted their proxies or voted via telephone or internet and do not want to change their vote, don't need to take any further action. I will now pause to allow stockholders to submit or change their previously submitted votes. The polls are now closed. Based on the preliminary voting results, all of the nominees for director have been duly elected, and the selection of Baker Tilly US, LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2026, has been ratified.
We will report the final voting results on a Form 8-K that will be filed to the Securities and Exchange Commission within four business days. There being no other business to come before this meeting, I now declare the meeting closed. I would like to thank everybody for attending today's meeting. You may now disconnect or close your browser window.
This now concludes the meeting. Thank you for joining. Have a pleasant day.
