Good morning, and welcome to TWFG Inc's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. I would like to turn the meeting over to Gordy Bunch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TWFG. Sir, please go ahead.
Good morning, and thank you for your participation in our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of TWFG. I will serve as Chairman of the meeting. We are excited to be hosting our annual meeting virtually, which allows us to become more inclusive and reach a greater number of our stockholders. We will conduct the business portion of our meeting first, beginning with opening remarks and introductions.
If a technical disruption occurs that prevents us from continuing the meeting, we will immediately adjourn the meeting, and any votes received prior to the adjournment will be counted. Although the meeting will not be reconvened, the results will be announced publicly. We will also host a question- and- answer session at the end of the meeting. Though we may not be able to answer every question, we will do our best to respond to as many as possible.
If your specific question is not addressed, please reach out to our investor relations team at ir@twfg.com after the meeting. It is now shortly after 9:00 A.M., and this meeting is officially called to order. I would like to introduce the other members of the Board who are with us today, Michael Doak, Jonathan Anderson, Michelle Bunch, Robin Ferracone, and Janet Wong. Now it's my pleasure to introduce TWFG's corporate secretary, Julie Benes, who will act as secretary of the meeting and take us through the business portion of today's meeting. Julie?
Thanks, Gordy. We are also joined here today by our independent auditor, Dana Jermain, with Deloitte & Touche, who will be available during the question and answer session after the meeting to respond to questions. The company has appointed Broadridge Financial Solutions to act as tabulator and to facilitate inspection services. Natalie Hairston from American Election Services is with us today and has taken the customary oath of the Inspector of Election, which will be filed with the minutes of this meeting.
After the formal meeting has been adjourned, we will provide time for general questions. Only validated stockholders may ask questions using the designated field on the web portal. Out of consideration for others, please limit yourself to one question. 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.
The Board of Directors fixed March 30th, 2026, as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at this meeting. An affidavit has been delivered by Broadridge confirming that a notice of internet availability of the notice of the meeting, the proxy statement, and the 2025 annual report to stockholders was mailed on or about April 10th, 2026, to all stockholders as of the record date.
The affidavit will be incorporated into the minutes of this meeting. The stockholder list shows that as of the record date, there were 14,206,284 shares of Class A common stock, 7,277,651 shares of Class B common stock, and 33,893,810 shares of Class C common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at this meeting.
We are informed by the Inspector of Election that a quorum is present for purposes of transacting business. Now I will present the matters to be voted upon. Please note that we will give stockholders an opportunity to comment on the proposals after all proposals have been presented. Our first order of business is to vote on the election of Directors. This is item number one in the proxy. The Board has nominated six incumbent Directors for re-election.
The six Directors are Gordy Bunch, Michael Doak, Jonathan Anderson, Michelle Bunch, Robin Ferracone, and Janet Wong. The background of each Director can be found in the proxy statement. Your Board of Directors recommends a vote for each nominee. The second proposal is the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte as our independent auditors for the fiscal year 2026. This is item number two in the proxy.
Your Board recommends a vote for this item. If any stockholder would like to make a comment regarding any of the proposals, please submit your comment through the web portal. We will now pause for 15 seconds to allow stockholders to submit their questions. I see no questions. The time is shortly past 9:00 A.M. Central Time, and the polls are now open.
Any stockholder who hasn't yet voted or wishes to change their vote may do so by clicking on the Vote Here button on the web portal and following the instructions. 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. We will now pause for 10 seconds to allow stockholders time to vote.
Now that everyone has had the opportunity to vote, I now declare the polls for the 2026 Annual Stockholder Meeting closed at shortly past 9:00 A.M. Central Time. We have been informed by the Inspector of Election that her preliminary vote report shows that each of the nominees for the election to the Board has been duly elected, and the appointment of Deloitte & Touche as our independent registered public accounting firm has been ratified. We will be reporting the final vote results in a Form 8-K to be filed within four business days. With that, I will turn the meeting back over to Gordy.
Thank you, Julie. There being no further business to come before the meeting, I declare the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of TWFG adjourned. At this point, we would like to open the floor to stockholder questions and comments. Please note we will attempt to answer as many questions as time allows, but only questions that are germane to the meeting will be addressed. We do not appear to have any questions. With no questions in the queue, this will conclude our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. We thank you all for attending today and for your continued support. This will conclude our call.
Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes today's meeting. You may now disconnect.
