Good morning. I'm John Dorman, Chairman of the Board of Directors of SmartRent. I will be acting as the chairman of this meeting. I would like to welcome you and call to order SmartRent's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. Our annual meeting is being held in a virtual only meeting format, which allows stockholders, regardless of physical location to participate in the meeting. Not only can you listen to the meeting, but you can also submit questions and vote your shares online prior to the closing of polls in accordance with the instructions you received prior to the meeting and the rules of conduct for the meeting. At this time, I would like to introduce a few of our guests today. Along with myself, the other members of SmartRent's board of directors, including Alison Dean, our CEO, Frank Martell, Thomas Bohjalian, Ana Pinczuk, and Ann Sperling.
Our Chief Financial Officer, Daryl Stemm, is here. Aaron Craft, audit partner with Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm. Representatives from Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, our outside corporate counsel, and Brian McQuaid, our general counsel and corporate secretary, who is serving as the inspector of election and as secretary for our annual meeting today and will record the minutes. Mr. McQuaid has signed an oath of inspector of election, which will be filed with the minutes of this meeting, and he will tabulate the votes and determine the results of the meeting. Thank you all for attending. Before we get started, I'll cover a few administrative matters. As a reminder, we have adopted rules of conduct for this meeting, a copy of which has been posted to the virtual meeting platform. Among other items, the rules of conduct describe the procedures for asking questions at this meeting.
We will only respond to questions related to the procedures or agenda items to be voted on at the meeting. After reviewing the matters to be voted on, we will address questions that are relevant to the agenda items. Only validated stockholders may ask questions in the designated field on the virtual meeting platform. Please note that the representatives from Deloitte will be available to respond to relevant questions. Please note that this meeting is being recorded. However, no one attending via the webcast or telephone is permitted to use any audio recording device. We shall now proceed with the business of the day. The record date for voting at the meeting was the close of business on March 18, 2026.
An affidavit has been delivered attesting to the fact that, 1, a notice of Internet availability of the notice of the meeting, the proxy statement, and the annual report to stockholders. 2, the documents themselves were mailed on or about April 1, 2026 to all stockholders of record as of the record date. That affidavit will be filed with the minutes of the meeting. An alphabetical list of stockholders as of the record date is available on the virtual meeting platform. The inspector of election has advised me that we have a quorum for purposes of transacting business at this meeting. Therefore, the meeting is duly constituted, and we may proceed with business. As stated in the proxy statement, there are 3 proposals to be voted on today.
The proposals are, first, the election of two class II directors to serve until our 2029 annual meeting of stockholders. Second, the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026.

At this point, questions are no longer allowed to be submitted.
It is approximately 8:04 A.M., Arizona Standard Time, and the polls are now open and will remain open until I announce that the polls are closed. You may vote your shares during the meeting online through the virtual meeting platform. You will need the 16-digit control number included on your proxy card or voting instruction form. If you previously voted, that will not limit your right to vote online during the meeting through the virtual meeting platform, and your online vote will supersede the vote you submitted previously.
Please note if you received a voting instruction card from your bank, broker, or nominee, you are required to submit your voting instructions to your bank, broker, or nominee and will not be permitted to vote at this meeting unless you have obtained a legal proxy from the record holder giving you the right to vote your shares at this meeting.
