Good morning. Welcome to the 2026 annual shareholders meeting of Urban Edge Properties. I will now turn it over to Jeffrey S. Olson, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, to begin the meeting.
Great. Welcome, everyone. I'm Jeffrey S. Olson, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Urban Edge Properties, and I hereby officially call this meeting to order. It is my pleasure to welcome you here today for this annual meeting of shareholders. Before we get started, I'd like to remind you that only shareholders who have logged in using their 16-digit control number will be able to ask questions and vote at this meeting. In addition, please note that questions should be limited to those relating to the proposals to be voted on at this meeting. We will not be providing financial or general business updates at this meeting. If you have any questions, please submit them now so that they will be in the queue to be answered after I describe the proposals to be voted on at this meeting. Moderator, please now open the Q&A.
Please note that all attendees at today's meeting are prohibited from recording the meeting. I will now proceed to the formal business of the meeting. As of the close of business on March 9th, 2026, the record date for this meeting, there were 125,972,783 common shares of beneficial interest outstanding and entitled to vote at this meeting. I've been informed that a quorum is present, and accordingly, the meeting is duly convened for the transaction of business. In order to allow shareholders to vote through the web portal at any time during this meeting, I now declare the polls open for voting. I now introduce the first item for vote at today's meeting, which is the election of our trustee nominees to serve for one-year terms and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify.
Our trustee nominees are as follows: myself, Jeff Olson, Mary Baglivo, Steven H. Grapstein, Norman Jenkins, Kevin O'Shea, Catherine D. Rice, Katherine Sandstrom, and Douglas W. Sesler. The second item to be voted on is the ratification of the selection of Deloitte as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for our 2026 fiscal year. The third item is the approval of a non-binding advisory resolution approving executive compensation as set forth in our proxy statement for this annual meeting. At this time, I will open the floor for questions relating to these proposals. There are no questions relevant to today's meeting. The Q&A portion of the meeting is now closed. Moderator, please now close the Q&A. Any shareholder who hasn't voted may do so by clicking on the Voting button on the web portal and following the instructions there.
As a reminder, only shareholders who have entered their 16-digit control number will be able to vote on the web portal. Shareholders who have sent in proxies and do not want to change their vote do not need to take any further action. I will now briefly pause to allow shareholders to vote through the web portal if they wish to do so before closing the polls. The record will reflect that all shares for which proxies were returned to the trust were voted in accordance with the instructions received. I now declare that the polls are closed. Results of the votes will be publicly released within a few days. There being no further business to come before this meeting, I hereby declare the meeting adjourned. Thank you all for your participation.
The meeting is now adjourned.
