Good morning. I would like to call this annual meeting to order. I will serve as chair of today's meeting, and Joe Kaczynski will serve as secretary. Cassie Moran of PricewaterhouseCoopers, our independent public accounting firm, also is in attendance. Joe, please report on the mailing of the notice of this meeting and the stockholders entitled to vote. Good morning. Our mailing agent affirms that the notice of this meeting, the proxy statement, a proxy card, and our 2025 annual report were sent to all stockholders of record as of April 13, 2026. Michael Barbera has been appointed to serve as the Inspector of Election for this meeting, and he reports that holders of common stock representing a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at this meeting are present either in person or by proxy. Therefore, proper notice of this meeting has been given and a quorum is present. Stockholders at today's meeting are being asked to vote on three proposals. The first is to elect Brian Brown, Kurt Bidding, David Bradley, Kevin Fogarty, and Patty Humble as Class 1 directors for a term of one year. No other director nominations have been properly made, so the nominations for Class 1 Directors are closed. The second proposal is a Stockholder Advisory Vote to approve the compensation paid to our named Executive Officers. And the third proposal is to ratify the appointment of Price Waterhouse Coopers LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. Because no stockholder gave notice of an intent to nominate directors or propose other business at this meeting in accordance with the companyís bylaws, this concludes the time for the presentation of nominations and proposals. proposals. I hereby call the question and declare the polls open to vote on the proposals. I now declare the poll closed. Joel, please report the results of the votes. According to the Inspector of Election, the preliminary results are that all Class I Director nominees were elected, our Say-on-Pay Advisory Vote was approved, and the appointment of Price Waterhouse Cooper's LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2026 has been ratified. We will report the results in a filing with the SEC on form 8k. Thank you Joe. The business of the meeting is now complete and since there are no other matters to come before the meeting it is now concluded. Ladies and gentlemen this concludes today's meeting you may now disconnect.
