Good afternoon, and welcome to the Worthington Enterprises annual meeting of shareholders. I'm John Blystone, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and on the call with me today for our virtual annual meeting, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Joe Hayek, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Colin Souza, and Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary, Patrick Kennedy. Mr. Gary Wozniak of Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, our transfer agent, has been appointed to serve as inspector of election for the annual meeting. We also have two representatives from KPMG, the company's independent registered public accounting firm, on the call with us today for the annual meeting, Diane Powers and Mark Shurholt. I now call the annual meeting to order. We remind you that any forward-looking statements made by the company's management during this annual meeting are subject to the safe harbor statement found in the company's SEC filings.
Mr. Kennedy will record the minutes of this annual meeting, and I have Mr. Kennedy's affidavit that a written notice of Internet availability of proxy materials for this annual meeting was mailed beginning August 13, 2026 to all shareholders of record as of July 29, 2026, the record date for this annual meeting. On August 13, 2026, the company provided these shareholders of record with access to our online proxy materials, including the company's written notice of the annual meeting, the company's 2026 annual report for the fiscal year, which ended May 31st, 2026, the company's proxy statement, and the form of proxy solicited on behalf of the company's Board of Directors.
Although this annual meeting is a virtual meeting, you will be able to participate in the annual meeting, vote your common shares, and submit your questions by visiting the website for this annual meeting identified in the company's proxy materials. If you have not yet voted your common shares and wish to do so, I ask that you begin that process now through that website. You will need to have your control number shown in the box on your proxy card or notice of intent, availability of proxy materials to complete your vote. If you have already voted, you do not need to vote again. If there are any questions you may have related to this annual meeting or the company's business, you may now send those through the website for the annual meeting. Just follow the instructions for submitting a question.
If any questions are submitted, we will answer all valid questions after we finish the formal part of this annual meeting. We will now proceed with our annual meeting. Mr. Kennedy informs me that we have a quorum present, represented by shareholders participating in person or by proxy, and I will ask Mr. Kennedy to present the matters before this meeting.
Thank you, John. The first matter is the election of three directors, each to serve a term of three years to expire at the 2029 annual meeting of shareholders. The company's board of directors has nominated Charles Chiappone, Brad Southern, and Brant Standridge for re-election to the board of directors. There were no other nominations submitted in accordance with the company's code of regulations. The second matter is an advisory vote on the approval of the company's executive compensation, as reported in the proxy statement for this annual meeting. The company is asking shareholders to approve the following advisory resolution.
Resolved that the shareholders of Worthington Enterprises, Inc, the company approve on an advisory basis the compensation of the company's named executive officers as disclosed in the company's proxy statement for its 2026 annual meeting of shareholders pursuant to the executive compensation disclosure rules of Item 402 of SEC Regulation S-K, including the compensation discussion and analysis, the fiscal 2026 summary compensation table, and the related executive compensation tables, notes, and narratives.
