Good day, welcome to the Vertiv Holdings Co annual meeting of stockholders. I would now like to turn the conference over to Dave Cote, Executive Chairman of Vertiv. Please go ahead.
Hi, this is Dave Cote. I'm the Executive Chair of Vertiv's Board of Directors, I'm calling to order our 2026 Annual Stockholders Meeting. Information regarding the agenda, rules of conduct, and technical support for the meeting can be found on your screen. Today, we have the company's director nominees and several members of the management team, including our CEO, CFO, and chief legal officer. Also present are Ernst & Young, the company's independent auditor, and the engagement partner, Chris Reid. Meeting is being held pursuant to the notice and proxy statement dated April 24, 2026, provided to stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 20. A list of stockholders as of the record date has been made available for examination by stockholders for any purpose germane 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 a majority of total shares held by stockholders are now present, either in person or by proxy. Accordingly, I declare that the quorum is present and can convene the meeting for purposes of transacting business properly brought before it. There are three proposals to be presented at the 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. There are no questions, we can now proceed with the meeting for voting on the proposals. Voting today is by proxy and electronic ballot. Stockholders who have submitted proxies or 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, now declare the polls closed. The preliminary voting results have been tabulated with respect to the election directors, the advisory Say 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. That concludes Vertiv's annual meeting. Thank you.
Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.
