We are excited to be hosting our virtual meeting, which allows us to be more inclusive and reach a greater number of stockholders. Before proceeding to the business of this meeting, there are certain technical legal matters which we must dispose of in order to make certain that we are conducting a duly authorized meeting. But as soon as these are completed, I would like to introduce you to the officers and directors of the company and also to describe to you the matters proposed for your consideration and action at this meeting.

Will the Inspector of Election please present to the Secretary his signed oath as Inspector of Election? If there are no objections, I will direct that such oath be filed with the minutes of the meeting.
