Welcome to SkinHealth Systems' 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. My name is Bailey, and I will be your conference facilitator today. Please note that only stockholders of record who are logged into the meeting using their unique control number and live meeting link will be able to vote and submit questions at today's meeting. All participants during the annual meeting will be in a listen-only mode. After the meeting, stockholders of record will have a chance to ask questions during a Q&A session. If you have a question, please submit your question by utilizing the tools located in the question area on the web portal for this meeting. I would now like to hand the call over to Pedro Malha, President, CEO, and member of the company's Board of Directors, to call the required annual meeting to order. Mr. Malha, please proceed.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Will the meeting please come to order? I am Pedro Malha, and I will act as chairman of this meeting in accordance with the company's second amendment and restated bylaws. It is my pleasure to welcome you to the company's 2026 Annual Meetings of Stockholders, which we are holding virtually. Before we begin the meeting, I'd like to introduce you to some of the key individuals that are present at this meeting. From management, we have Michael Monahan, the company's chief financial officer, and Paul Bokota, the company's general counsel, who will act as the secretary for today's meeting. In addition, we have Beth Vanderb eck from Broadridge, who is serving as Inspector of Election for today's meeting.
You are entitled to vote if you were a stockholder of record or a proxy holder for such stockholder of our Class A common stock as of the close of business of April 16, 2026, which was the record date of the meeting. Voting shall be conducted in accordance with the company's bylaws. I have been advised and declare that proper notice of this meeting has been provided to the stockholders of record and that a quorum of our stockholders are present at this annual meeting. As a result, this meeting is lawfully covered for the purpose of conducting the business indicated in the notice of annual meeting and corresponding proxy statement that were made available on April 24th, 2026. We will now turn to the business of the annual meeting by presenting the proposals described in the notice of annual meeting of our proxy statement.
We will then open the poll for voting after all items have been presented. The first item of business is the election of nine directors of the company. The individuals up for elections are Brenton L. Saunders, Pedro Malha, E. Scott Beattie, Stephen J. Fanning, Michelle Kerrick, Doug Schillinger, Brian Miller, Dr. Sachin Shridharani, and Kenneth Tripp. No other nominations were received prior to the deadline established by the company's bylaws. Therefore, no additional nominations must be made at this meeting, and I declare the nominations to be closed. In order to be elected as a director, a nominee must receive the plurality of the votes cast by stockholders of our Class A common stock at this meeting. The Board of Directors recommends a vote in favor of each of these director nominees. We will now move on to the second proposal.
The second item of business is a ratification of our audit committee appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as an independent registered public accounting firm of the company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. In order for Deloitte to be ratified, this proposal must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast by stockholders of our Class A common stock at this meeting. The company's Board of Directors recommends a vote in favor of this proposal. We will now move on to the third and final proposal. The third item of business is an advisory vote to approve named executive officers' compensation. This proposal must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by stockholders of our Class A common stock at this meeting in order for it to pass.
Because your vote is advisory, the results of this proposal will not be binding upon the company or the board. Although the Compensation Committee and the Board will certainly take the results of this advisory vote into account when making future compensation decisions, the Board may determine that it's in the best interest of the stockholders and the company to approve the compensation that we paid to our named executive officers, even if our stockholders do not approve of such compensation. The company's Board of Directors recommends a vote in favor of this proposal. That was the final proposal for today's meeting. The polls are now open, and we will proceed with the vote. Stockholders who have voted by mail, proxy, telephone, or email do not need to vote again unless they wish to change their vote.
Your shares will be voted in accordance with instructions given in your proxy. If no instruction was given, your shares will be voted for all of the directors' nominees listed in your proxy card with respect to proposal one. For the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm with respect to proposal two, for the compensation of our named executive officer with respect to proposal number three. The management team and I are now available to answer any questions relating specifically to the proposals being considered. We will have a general question and answer session after the polls have closed. Paul, have any questions been submitted?
No, Pedro, there are no questions.
Thank you. We will now pause for approximately 30 seconds before closing the voting polls. If you wish to vote, please do so now. Since everyone had an opportunity to cast his or her ballot, I hereby declare that the polls are closed with respect to each matter to be voted on this meeting. The company will report the voting results of these proposals in a current report of Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission within four days following this meeting. As these proposals were the only business of this formal part of the annual meeting, the business of the meeting is now concluded, and I declare the annual meeting adjourned. Before we hang up, the management team and I are now available to answer general questions. Paul, have any questions been submitted?
No, Pedro, there are no questions. Please proceed with your closing remarks.
With that, ladies and gentlemen, this concludes our annual meeting. I want to thank you for attending and for your interest in the affairs of SkinHealth Systems Inc. Operator, we can now conclude the call.
Thank you. The call is now concluded, and the parties will be disconnected.
