Good morning. My name is Matt Bromberg, and I'm the President and Chief Executive Officer of Unity. We are happy to welcome you to our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. I will now hand off to Rebecca Boyden, our Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer, and Corporate Secretary, and Chair of this 2026 stockholders meeting.
Thank you, Matt, for the introduction. Also with me today are five of our nine board members as well as Jarrod Yahes, Unity's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Regan Dolezal of Ernst & Young, the company's auditor, who is available to respond to appropriate questions. With that, the 2026 Unity Annual Meeting of Stockholders will now officially come to order. If you are a stockholder of record as of March 20th, 2026, you can listen to the meeting, submit questions, and vote your shares online prior to the closing of the polls. Within the virtual meeting platform, you will find a copy of the rules of conduct and procedures for the annual meeting. To conduct an orderly meeting, we ask that you follow these rules.
I have with me a complete list of the stockholders of record of the company's common stock on March 20th, 2026, the record date for this meeting. I also have an affidavit from Broadridge certifying that commencing on March 27th, 2026, a notice of annual meeting of stockholders of the company was deposited in the U.S. mail or via email to all stockholders of record as of March 20th, 2026. At this time, I'd like to introduce Christina Perrino, who has been appointed to act as Inspector of Election at this meeting. She has taken and subscribed to the customary oath of office to execute her duties with strict impartiality. We will file this oath with the records of this meeting.
As the Inspector of Elections, Ms. Perrino is authorized and empowered to decide the qualifications of voters, accept their votes, and when balloting on all matters is completed, to tally the final votes. I have been informed by the Inspector of Election that valid proxies have been received and not revoked for approximately 70% of the total number of outstanding shares on the record date. This constitutes a quorum for the meeting today. We will now proceed with the formal business of this meeting as set forth in the notice of annual meeting and proxy statement. The polls are now open to voting on all matters to be presented. Stockholders attending the meeting virtually may vote their shares in real-time until the polls are closed. If you have already submitted a proxy to vote your shares, you do not need to submit one again.
There are three proposals to be considered by stockholders at this meeting. We will then answer any questions from holders on the proposals before reviewing the voting procedures. The polls will be closed to voting. The first item of business is the election of three Class III directors to serve until the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected. The nominees for director are Matthew Bromberg, Keisha Smith, and James Whitehurst. The second item of business is the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2026. The third item of business is the approval on an advisory basis of the compensation of our named executive officers as described in our proxy statement.
The stockholders have been asked to vote on an advisory basis on the following resolution. Resolves that the compensation paid to the company's named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation discussion and analysis, compensation tables, and narrative discussion, is hereby approved. We welcome questions from stockholders on the proposals at this time. Please note that our discussion today may include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ materially from those discussed here. Additional information concerning factors that could cause such difference can be found in our most recently filed quarterly report on Form 10-Q. As there are no questions relating to the matters before the meeting, I will now describe the voting procedures. Voting today is by proxy and electronic ballot. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote.
Any stockholder who has not voted or who wishes to change their vote may do so by clicking on the vote button in the webcast portal and following the instructions provided. Stockholders who have submitted proxies or who previously voted via the Internet or by phone and who do not wish to change their vote do not need to take any further action. Their votes will be counted automatically. The polls are still open for voting but will close very shortly. The polls are now closed for voting. The preliminary report of the Inspector of Elections covering the proposals presented at this meeting is as follows. The proposal to elect Matthew Bromberg, Keisha Smith, and James Whitehurst as Class III directors of the company is carried.
The appointment of Ernst & Young as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2026, is ratified. The proposal for the approval on the advisory basis of the compensation of our named executive officers is carried. We expect to report our final voting results on a current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days after the end of this meeting. With no further business before the meeting, I hereby adjourn today's meeting and thank you all for attending.
