Good day, and welcome to The Trade Desk 2020 annual meeting of stockholders. I would now like to turn the conference over to Founder, Chairman, and CEO, Jeff Green. Please go ahead.
Hello, and welcome to The Trade Desk 2020 annual meeting of stockholders. I'm Jeff Green, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and I call this meeting to order. We have the following officers of the company in attendance, Blake Grayson, our CFO, Brian Stempeck, the Director and our Chief Strategy Officer, and Vivian Yang, our Chief Legal Officer, in addition to myself. Other members of our board in attendance are Lise Buyer, Kate Falberg, Thomas Falk, Eric Paley, Gokul Rajaram, and David Wells. I would like to also introduce Robert Irving of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2019 fiscal year. We hold the formal part of the meeting first. Following the formal part, I will answer a few questions that have been submitted to the shareholder meeting link listed in our proxy.
This meeting is being held to consider director nominations and ratification of our independent auditors described in the proxy statement previously delivered to you. Vivian Yang is our Chief Legal Officer and will serve as the secretary for this meeting. She has verified that this meeting has been called in compliance with the company's bylaws and Delaware law. The inspector of elections for this meeting is Jim Alden from the American Election Services, a representative of Broadridge. I have proof by affidavit that notice of this meeting was given and that the proxy materials commenced mailing on April 14, 2020, to all stockholders of record at the close of business on March 31, 2020. Stockholders of record as of March 31, 2020, are entitled to vote at this meeting. Vivian, do we have a quorum represented by proxy?
Yes, Jeff. Based on the proxies that have been delivered, the inspector of elections has advised me that a quorum is present at this meeting. The inspector of elections has now signed the oath of office. The affidavit of mailing and the oath of the inspector of elections will now be filed with the minutes of the meeting, and the meeting is duly constituted.
Great. Thanks, Vivian. The meeting is duly constituted, and the polls are now open. We have two proposals on the ballot that will be voted on at this meeting. One, the election of the directors for both myself and Eric Paley, and two, to ratify the appointment of PwC LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent auditors. The board of directors recommend that the stockholders vote for both directors and for proposal two. We will vote by ballot on the agenda items described in the proxy statement previously sent to you. Any stockholder who hasn't yet voted or wishes to change their vote, may do so now by clicking on the Vote Here button on the shareholder meeting link and following the instructions there.
Stockholders who have sent in proxies or voted via telephone or internet and do not want to change their vote do not need to take any further action. We will allow a few moments for shareholders who haven't voted to complete their voting now. I'd like to remind you that some of the statements made at this meeting may be considered forward-looking and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that are described in our filings with the SEC, including our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31st, 2019, and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31st, 2020. The polls for each matter to be voted on at this meeting are now closed. No additional ballots, proxies, or votes and no changes or revocations will be accepted.
Vivian, will you report on the vote of the matters brought before this meeting?
Yes, Jeff. Based on preliminary results, the director nominees are both duly elected. Stockholders voted in favor of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. We will be reporting final vote results on a Form 8-K to be filed within four business days of today's meeting.
Thank you. This concludes the formal portion of our 2020 annual stockholders meeting. There being no further business, I declare the annual meeting of stockholders is hereby concluded. We can now move to the question- and- answer section.
Thank you, Jeff. We had scheduled time to answer questions that were submitted to the stockholders meeting link listed in the proxy. Being that there are no questions, this now concludes our 2020 annual meeting. We thank you all for your participation.
Thanks, everyone, for your participation and for your support as shareholders.
