Thank you for standing by, and welcome to the Twilio meeting. I will now turn the call over to Rodney Nelson.
Thank you, operator. Good morning, and welcome to Twilio's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. My name is Rodney Nelson, VP Investor Relations.

The phone numbers are posted on the registration page. There will be a replay of this meeting available on our web portal and our IR website after we conclude. I will now hand the meeting over to our CEO, Khozema Shipchandler.
Thanks, Rodney, and good morning, everyone. It is a pleasure to welcome you to our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. I'll act as chair of this meeting. Christy Lake, our Chief Administrative Officer, will conduct the formal part of the meeting, and Juliana Chen, our Vice President of Corporate Legal, will act as secretary and record the minutes. In addition to myself, we have with us Aidan Viggiano, our Chief Financial Officer, and representatives from KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm. I also want to welcome the members of our board of directors in attendance. The meeting is now called to order. I will now turn the meeting over to Christy Lake, who will conduct the formal part of the meeting.
Thank you, Khozema. Before we get started, I'm going to cover a few administrative matters. As an overview of today's meeting, we'll address the matters described in our 2026 proxy statement and questions relevant to such matters. We'll then announce preliminary voting results and adjourn the meeting. As a reminder, we have adopted rules of conduct for this meeting, a copy of which are linked in our virtual meeting website, and we ask that everyone read and follow them. As noted in the rules of conduct, you'll be able to submit questions that are relevant to an agenda item to be voted on by stockholders until we begin the Q&A session.

The first matter to be voted on is the proposal to elect four directors to serve until the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. The nominees are Charlie Bell, Jeff Immelt, Doug Robinson, and Erika Rottenberg. Our board of directors recommends a vote for each of these nominees.

At this point, questions are no longer allowed to be submitted. Any relevant questions not answered during this time can be addressed by our investor relations team, which can be reached at ir@twilio.com. We show no relevant questions have been submitted.
I will pause to ensure adequate time for voting if needed. The polls are now closed. No additional ballots, proxies, or votes, and no further changes or revocations will be accepted. I have the preliminary results of the voting and will report them now.
