Good day and welcome to the Vertiv Holdings Co annual meeting of stakeholders. I would now like to turn the conference over to Dave Cote, Executive Chairman of Vertiv. Please go ahead.
I'm Dave Cote, the Executive Chairman of the board and I'm calling to order our 2025 annual shareowners meeting. Information regarding the agenda, rules of conduct and technical support for the meeting can be found on your screen. Present at the meeting today are the company's director nominees, several members of the management team, including our CEO, CFO and Chief Legal Counsel, and from Ernst & Young, our engagement partner, Chris Reed. Meeting is being held pursuant to the notice and proxy statement dated April 25, 2025 provided to the stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 21, eligible stockholders of record.
Date has been made available for examination by stockholders for any purpose to remain to the meeting for at least 10 days prior to the meeting. This list is also available to stockholders during the meeting and can be accessed on the website used to access this meeting. The Inspector of Elections has confirmed that greater than the majority of total shares of Vertiv common stock held by stockholders are now present at the meeting, either in person or by proxy. Accordingly, I declare that a quorum is present and can convene the meeting for purposes of transacting the business properly brought before it. There are three proposals to be presented at this meeting. Each proposal, as well as the board's corresponding vote recommendation, is described in detail in our proxy statement.
At this time, stockholders may submit questions by clicking the Q & A button on your screen, followed by typing the question into the box provided. Please note that to make our virtual annual meeting more efficient, questions may be summarized and or grouped topically for response and may also be omitted, if not germane to the meeting agenda. If there are no questions in the queue, we'll proceed to voting. Polls are now open for voting on the proposals. Voting today is by proxy and electronic ballot. Stockholders who have submitted proxies or who have previously voted do not need to take any further action. Any stockholder who has not voted may do so now by clicking on the voting button on your screen and following the instructions provided. Thank you. We've allowed for any additional voting to take place. I now declare the polls closed.
Preliminary voting results have been tabulated with respect to the election of directors, the advisory stay on pay, and the ratification of the appointment of our independent auditor. Each proposal received the requisite number of votes to approve the proposal. These voting results are preliminary. The final voting results will be reported on a Form 8-K, to be filed within four business days. This concludes the Vertiv annual meeting. Thank you.
Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect. Okay.
