Good morning and welcome to the Sprout Social, Inc. 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. It is my pleasure to introduce Justyn Howard, the President, CEO, and Chairman of the Board of Sprout Social.
Thank you for the introduction and good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Sprout Social 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This is our first annual meeting since going public, and we want to thank you for joining us today. This year, we are pleased to conduct our annual meeting virtually, which allows us to be more inclusive and reach a greater number of our stockholders while also promoting public health. Our thoughts are with those that have been affected by COVID. An agenda that outlines the order of business for this meeting has been made available on our virtual meeting web portal at virtualshareholdermeeting.com/spt2020, which is hosted by Broadridge Financial Solutions. This web address is contained in our notice of the meeting, which began mailing to stockholders on April 16, 2020, and was sent to stockholders of record as of March 30, 2020.
A copy of this notice and our 2020 Proxy Statement can be found on the annual meeting web portal. This meeting is also being audio webcast live, and a copy of it will be posted in 24 hours at the web address I mentioned previously and that was in the notice. As noted on the agenda, following the conclusion of the meeting today, we will have a brief Q&A session for stockholders. Questions may be placed by stockholders throughout this presentation in the virtual meeting web portal, where they remain in queue until the Q&A session. I would now like to introduce my colleagues who are in attendance with us or members of the Sprout Social Board of Directors. They are Peter Barris, Karen Walker, Aaron Rankin, Steven Collins, and Jason Kreuziger. We also have a number of company officers here today.
Joining me are Heidi Jonas, our General Counsel and Secretary, Rachael Pfenning, our SVP of Operations, and Jason Rechel, our Head of IR. Lastly, I would like to recognize Shaun Goldfarb from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, who has worked on the audit of the company's financial statements for our three previous fiscal years and is with us today. We appreciate the work of Shaun and PwC. Heidi will serve as the Secretary of the Meeting and will now take us through our formal agenda.
Thank you, Justyn. Good morning, everyone. Please note that I've delivered an Affidavit of Mailing of the Notice of the Meeting, which states that notices of this meeting commence mailing on April 16, 2020, to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 30, 2020, the Record Date for this meeting. This affidavit will be filed with the minutes of this meeting. I've been advised by our Inspector of Election, Jerry Lane of Broadridge Financial Solutions, that immediately prior to these proceedings, a majority of the voting power of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock are represented by proxy at today's meeting. Since a majority of the company's voting power is represented here today, a Quorum is present and the business of the meeting may proceed. At this time, I call the meeting to order.
I'd like to remind everyone that the rules of conduct have been posted on the virtual meeting web portal. These rules will apply to the Q&A session. The polls are now open. When the polls close, I will announce the results. Many of you have already mailed or otherwise delivered your proxy card and therefore intend to have your shares voted by the legal proxies. If you've provided your proxy card, your shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If you have not already voted and wish to vote, or if you wish to change your vote, the polls will remain open until we announce the closing of the polls. You may vote by clicking on the voting button on the virtual meeting web portal and following the instructions there.
Stockholders who have sent in proxies or voted via telephone or internet and do not wish to change their vote do not need to take any further action. The first item of business is the election of two directors to the Sprout Social Board of Directors. The candidates who have been nominated to serve as directors by Sprout Social's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Board of Directors are Peter Barris and Karen Walker. The proxy statement made available to you describes their qualifications. The Sprout Social Board of Directors recommends you vote for both of these candidates. The second item of business is to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2020. Their appointment is discussed in our proxy statement.
The Sprout Social Board of Directors recommends you vote for the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. If you wish to vote, you must do so now by clicking the vote button. I will pause to give people a chance to finish voting. I now declare the polls closed. A voting report dated as of today has been delivered to me by Broadridge Financial Solutions and the Inspector of Elections, stating that Peter Barris and Karen Walker have been elected as directors by the stockholders. Each candidate received more than a plurality of the votes cast. Ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as Sprout's independent registered accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, has been approved by the stockholders by the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast.
The final results will be detailed in our current report on Form 8-K, which we will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. With that, I'll hand it back to Justyn.
Thank you, Heidi. This completes the formal portion of this meeting. Since there are no other matters scheduled, I hereby adjourn the meeting and we will move on to Q&A. As a reminder, please make sure your question follows the rules of conduct, which are available on the web portal. Questions must be relevant to the annual meeting and brief. Also, we can't answer any questions that would solicit material nonpublic information, such as questions relating to guidance and changes in our business since the filing of our most recent quarterly report with the SEC. Please enter any questions into the Q&A portal now. Heidi will read your questions aloud, and I'm going to pause to give you time to ask questions.
We're not seeing any questions. We'll wait a little longer to give stockholders a chance to submit a question.
Seeing as there are no questions, we'll conclude the webcast at this time. Justyn?
All right. Thank you, everyone, for attending our annual meeting. We appreciate your support and look forward to talking to you again soon.
Thank you, everyone. This does conclude today's meeting. You may now.
