At today's meeting, we will cover the matters described in the proxy statement dated March 25th, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 12th, 2026. I have a list of stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting and proper notice has been given to such stockholders.
I also have a certified list of the stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 12, 2026, the record date. This list has been available for inspection by stockholders during the past 10 days and remains available for inspection during the meeting. Further, the affidavit certifying that proper notice of the meeting was given to each of these stockholders will be filed with the minutes of this meeting. The company has appointed Brooke Egan and Christopher Coyle to serve as inspectors of election of the meeting. As inspectors, they have been duly sworn and have taken and signed an oath to faithfully execute their duties as prescribed by Delaware law and the company's organizational documents with strict impartiality and to the best of their ability. The oaths will be filed with the minutes of this meeting.
Further, as the inspectors of election, they have presented their preliminary report to the chairman indicating the presence of a quorum. The meeting is properly constituted for the transaction of business. The matters to be acted upon at the meeting will be considered in the order set out in the proxy statement. If there are stockholders attending this virtual meeting who have not voted already by proxy or who wish to change their previous proxy vote, please log in as a shareholder by entering the 16-digit control number you received with your proxy materials. If you have voted your shares prior to the start of the meeting, your vote has been received by the company's inspector of elections, and there is no need to vote those shares during the meeting unless you wish to revoke or change your vote.
The report of the inspectors with respect to all the votes cast will be given at the conclusion of the vote on all items. Questions received during the meeting that are unrelated to the proposals will be addressed as a part of the earnings call later this week. The time is now 5:04 P.M.
