Good day, and welcome to the 2020 Teradyne Annual Meeting of Shareholders. I will now turn the call over to Andy Blanchard, Vice President of Investor Relations. You may begin.
Good morning. The meeting will come to order. It's my pleasure to welcome you to the 2020 Teradyne Annual Meeting of Shareholders. I'm filling in this year for our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Roy Vallee, who's joining remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related travel restrictions. Please note that Mark Jagiela, our CEO, Sanjay Mehta, our CFO, and all of our board members are in attendance.
