Good day, everyone, and welcome to the BigBear.ai Holdings Annual Meeting. Now, I'll turn the call over to your host, CFO Sean Ricker. Please go ahead, Sean. Good afternoon. I'm Sean Ricker, Chief Financial Officer of BigBear.ai. I'll be the Chairman of today's meeting. I'm very happy to welcome you to BigBear.ai's annual meeting of stockholders. Available at the bottom of your screen under meeting materials are our rules of conduct for the meeting. To conduct an orderly meeting, we ask that participants abide by these rules. Several members of the Board of Directors are with us today. Our board consists of Sean Battle, Pamela Braden, Peter Cannito, Tony Evangelista, Paul Fulchino, Dottie Hayes, Kirk Konert, and Kevin McAleenan. We also have several members of our management team joining, as well as Tamara Beanert of Grant Thornton LLP, the company's independent registered public accounting firm. It is now 2:00 P.M. Eastern Time on June 9th, 2026, the meeting is officially called to order. Lastly, also joining us is Ms. Beth VanDerbeck, a representative from Broadridge Financial Solutions, who will act as the Inspector of Elections for this meeting. Ms. VanDerbeck has signed the customary oath of office to execute her duties with strict impartiality. We will now proceed with the formal business of the meeting as set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement. The polls opened today, June 9th, 2026, at 1:45 P.M. Eastern Time for voting on all matters before the meeting. If you have not already voted and wish to vote, the polls remain open until we finish presenting the proposals and close the polls. Our Board of Directors set April 13th, 2026, as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at this meeting. Broadridge Financial Solutions has provided a list of stockholders of record at the close of business on such record date. For stockholders who entered a valid 16-digit control number, the list of stockholders of record as of such record date is available at the bottom of your screen. I also have an affidavit of mailing establishing that notice of this meeting was first distributed or made available to all stockholders of record of the company as of the close of business on April 28th, 2026. A copy of the affidavit of mailing will be included within the minutes of this meeting. Ms. VanDerbeck, the Inspector of Elections, has informed me that stockholders owning at least one-third of the voting power entitled to vote are present in person or by proxy. A quorum is present. I hereby declare this meeting to be duly convened for the transaction of business. There are six proposals to be considered by the stockholders at today's meeting. The board recommends the stockholders vote for each of the Director nominees in Proposal 1, for a one-year frequency for Proposal 2, and vote for Proposals 3 through 6. Proposal 1 is to elect two nominees, Kevin McAleenan and Pam Braden, to serve on the Board of Directors as Class II Directors until the company's 2029 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Proposal 2 is to approve, on an advisory non-binding basis, the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers. Proposal 3 is to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers. Proposal 4 is to ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as BigBear's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31st, 2026. Proposal 5 is to approve an amendment to the company's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the company. Proposal 6 is to approve the adjournment of the annual meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the annual meeting to approve the charter amendment proposal. The company has not received advance notice from any stockholder, as required by its bylaws, of any other matter to be considered at today's meeting. No other proposals may be properly introduced by stockholders. Any stockholder who hasn't yet voted or wishes to change their vote may do so now by clicking on the voting button on the web portal and following the instructions. Stockholders who have sent in proxies or voted via telephone or internet and do not want to change their vote do not need to take any further action. Since there are no questions, I declare the polls for the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders now closed. We have been informed by the Inspector of Elections now that the preliminary vote report shows as follows. The two nominees for election to the board have been duly elected. A one-year frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers has been approved on an advisory, non-binding basis.
