Thank you for standing by, welcome to the Veeco Instruments Inc. annual meeting. I will now turn the call over to Bill Miller, CEO. Please go ahead.
Good morning. I'm Bill Miller, CEO, and a Member of the Board of Directors of Veeco. I will act as Chairman of this meeting. I'd like to welcome you to our Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Here with me today are Bob Bradshaw, Senior Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer, as well as Kirk Mackey, Vice President, General Counsel. Also joining us are Gary Wozniak of CT Hagberg LLC, who will act as Inspector of Election, and Justin Miller from KPMG, our independent public accounting firm. I understand that we have a quorum. The meeting is called to order. Kirk will now cover the formal business of the meeting.
Thank you, Bill. The proposals for consideration today are described in detail in the proxy statement for this Annual Meeting. The proposals are, one, that Kathleen Bayless, Gordon Hunter, and Lena Nicolaides be elected to serve as Class II Directors. Two, that a proposed amendment to the Veeco Instruments Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan be approved. Three, that the compensation of the company's executive officers as described in the proxy statement be approved on a non-binding advisory basis. Four, that the appointment of KPMG as Veeco's independent public accounting firm for 2026 be ratified.
This is Bob Bradshaw, and I move that each of the foregoing matters be approved.
I second the motion. A vote on these matters will now be taken. As a reminder, if you have already sent in your proxy, vote has been counted. If you are present in person at this meeting or participating through virtual means, you may revoke your proxy and vote again now. We'll now pause for voting and for any questions that our stockholders may wish to ask. There being no questions, the polls are now closed. I ask the Inspector of Election to count the votes and submit the tally to me. The Inspector of Election has informed me that each of the Directors up for election has been elected, and each of the other matters has been approved. This concludes the formal business of the meeting.
In closing, I'd like to thank you for joining our meeting. Your participation and interest in Veeco is greatly appreciated. Have a great day.
This concludes the meeting. You may now disconnect.
