Hello, and welcome to the 2025 Zillow Group Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Please note that today's meeting is being recorded. After the business portion of the meeting has adjourned, we'll have a brief question-and-answer session. You can submit questions or comments at any time by clicking on the Q&A tab on the right side of your screen. It is now my pleasure to turn today's meeting over to Zillow Group CEO, Jeremy Wacksman. Mr. Wacksman, the floor is yours.
Good afternoon, and welcome to our 2025 Zillow Group Annual Meeting of Shareholders. I'm Jeremy Wacksman, CEO of Zillow Group and a member of the company's board of directors. I'm joined today by Brad Owens, our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, and Brad Berning, our Vice President, Strategic Affairs and Investor Relations. I will serve as chair of this meeting, and Brad Owens will serve as secretary. I would also like to acknowledge the other Zillow Group directors and officers who are present in this virtual meeting. Brad Owens will cover the business portion of the meeting, after which we will have an opportunity for a brief Q&A. First, a few logistics. As chair of the meeting, I have adopted an agenda that will govern the order of the business and the rules of conduct for the meeting, which are available on the virtual meeting site.
The rules of conduct will also govern the Q&A session. If you are a shareholder and want to ask a question, you can submit one at any time on the virtual meeting website. The polls are open and will close in a few moments immediately after the presentation of the matters for shareholder consideration. We are ready to begin the business of our shareholder meeting, and I will now call the meeting to order and hand it over to Brad Owens.
Thank you, Jeremy. Before I walk us through the business of the meeting, I have a few more introductions to make. Tom Cooper of Computershare has been appointed inspector of elections for this meeting. Also, here with us today are Neil Toitsch and Chris Weber, representing Deloitte & Touche, our independent auditors. The notice of the meeting and internet availability of the proxy materials were mailed beginning April 16, 2025, and went to all voting shareholders of record as of March 24, 2025. As a result, this meeting is being held pursuant to proper notice. A list of shareholders of record as of March 24, 2025, is available for your review on the virtual meeting website. In addition, more than a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting as of March 24 are represented today, either in person or by proxy.
This means we have a quorum present. Today, we have two proposals for you to consider. They are each described in the proxy statement for today's meeting. The first is the election of four directors, each nominated by the board of directors to serve until the 2028 annual meeting of shareholders: Richard N. Barton, Lloyd D. Frank, April Underwood, and Jeremy Wacksman. The board recommends a vote for each of them. The second item is to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The board recommends a vote in favor of that proposal. That concludes the presentation of matters to be voted on today, and the polls are now also closed. I will now hand it over to Tom Cooper to share the preliminary voting results. Tom?
Thank you, Brad. The preliminary report of the inspector of elections indicates that, concerning proposal one, each of the four directors nominated for election has been re-elected by the receipt of the largest number of votes cast as required by Zillow Group's bylaws. Concerning proposal two, the advisory proposal to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Zillow Group's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, the number of votes cast for the proposal exceeded the number of votes cast against the proposal. Proposal two has passed. This completes the report. I'll now pass things back to Brad.
Thank you, Tom. Please prepare a final report of the votes that will become a part of the record of this meeting. We will report the final voting results in a Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days. With that, we have completed the formal portion of the meeting, and the meeting is now adjourned. Let me hand it over to our Vice President of Strategic Affairs and Investor Relations, Brad Berning, for Q&A.
Thank you, Brad. Jeremy, I'm showing no questions, and we'll turn it over to you for concluding remarks.
Thank you all very much for attending. We appreciate your continued support of Zillow Group.
This concludes the meeting. You may now disconnect. Hello and welcome to the 2025 Zillow Group Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Please note that today's meeting is being recorded.
