Good morning. My name is Alison Moore, and I am the Chief Executive Officer of Codexis Inc. I'm very happy to welcome you to the company's 2026 annual stockholders meeting. I will act as Chair of the annual meeting. The meeting will now officially come to order. The time is now 9:00 A.M. Pacific Time on Wednesday, June 17th, 2026, and the polls are now open for voting on all matters to be presented. As you know, we are hosting today's annual meeting through a virtual online platform hosted by Broadridge Financial Solutions. Before we proceed with the formal business of the meeting, I'd like to introduce you to the members of the business team who are with us today. They are Georgia Erbez, our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Business Officer, Frank Lanza, our VP controller. Ms. Erbez will act as secretary of this Annual Meeting. In addition, we also have members of the board in attendance. I would also like to introduce John Williams of Latham & Watkins LLP, the company's outside Legal Counsel, and Juan Wen of KPMG LLP, the company's Independent Auditor, who are both also in attendance virtually. Juan Wen from KPMG will be available during the meeting to respond to appropriate questions. At this time, I would like to appoint Cheryl Niebling of Broadridge Financial Solutions as our Inspector of Election, who is in attendance with us as well. Her function is to decide upon the qualifications of voters, accept their votes, and when balloting on all matters is completed, to tally the final votes. Ms. Niebling has taken the Oath of Inspector of Election earlier today to faithfully execute the duties of Inspector of Election with strict impartiality and according to the best of her ability. We will file this oath with the records of the meeting. We will proceed with the formal business of the meeting in the order set forth in the notice of Annual Meeting and proxy statement. We will first present the four proposals submitted for approval by our board, after which we will announce the preliminary results of the voting. As I mentioned earlier, the polls are open for voting on all matters to be presented. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. After we describe each item to be voted on, the polls will be closed. We will not accept ballots, proxies, revocations, or changes to votes after the closing of the polls. If you have already submitted your vote by proxy and do not wish to change your vote, you do not need to vote now, and your shares will be voted as previously instructed. If you intend to vote and have not already done so, you must submit your vote online now in order for it to be counted. If you have not voted, I encourage you to vote online now. You should now all have a copy of the rules of conduct for this meeting. In order to conduct an orderly meeting, we ask that you follow these rules. Questions may be submitted through the Broadridge portal. Only validated stockholders may ask questions through the Broadridge portal. Out of consideration for others and to promote fairness, we will respond to up to two questions from a single stockholder. Questions- and- answers will be grouped by topic, and substantially similar questions will be grouped and answered once. Questions pertaining to matters to be voted on will be addressed prior to the close of the vote, and any other questions germane to the meeting will be addressed after the conclusion of the formal meeting. Members of senior management present virtually today, including Ms. Erbez and me, will respond as applicable. The Board of Directors fixed April 20th, 2026 as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at this meeting. I have received an affidavit certifying that on April 20th, 2026, a notice of Annual Meeting of stockholders of the company was deposited in the United States mail to all stockholders of record at the close of business as of the record date. This affidavit will also be incorporated into the minutes of this meeting. Will the Secretary please report with respect to the existence of a quorum and any other householding matters? My name is Georgia Erbez. I am the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Business Officer of the company, and I am the Secretary of this Annual Meeting. Please note a list of stockholders of record of the company's common stock as of April 20th, 2026. The record date for this meeting is available for inspection during this meeting for any reason applicable to this meeting. The list of stockholders shows that as of the record date, there were 90,896,567 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at this meeting. Additionally, I have been informed by the Inspector of Election that there are represented in person or by proxy shares of the common stock representing 74,738,480 votes, or approximately 82% of the voting power on the record date. These votes represent more than a majority of the voting power of all issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote on the record date and constitutes a quorum for the meeting today. We may now carry out the official business of the meeting. We will now proceed with the formal business of this meeting. There are four proposals to be considered by stockholders at this meeting, each of which the secretary will summarize at this time. The first business consideration is election of directors. The election of three Class 1 directors to serve until the 2029 annual meeting or until their successors are duly elected and qualified for their earlier resignation or removal. As described in more details in the proxy statement, the nominees for Class 1 directors are Stephen G. Dilly, Raymond De Vré, Rahul Singhvi. The second item of business today is the ratification of the selection by the Audit Committee of the Board of KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. The third item of business today is the non-binding advisory vote on the executive compensation of the company's named executive officers, as described in the proxy statement. Although this is a non-binding vote, the Compensation Committee and the Board will review and consider the outcome of this vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers. The stockholders have been asked to vote on an advisory basis on the following resolution. Resolved that the compensation paid to Codexis Inc's named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby approved. Thank you, Georgia. That was the final proposal for today's meeting. I will now address the written questions that were submitted by our stockholders that are pertinent to these three proposals. Are there any questions? There are no questions. That was the final proposal for today's meeting. The time is now 9:10 A.M. Pacific Time, and the polls are now closed for voting. Georgia, may we have the results of the voting? The preliminary report of the Inspector of Election covering the proposals presented this meeting is as follows. Proposal number one, the three nominees have been duly elected as Class 1 directors of the company. Proposal number two, the selection of KPMG LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, is ratified. Proposal number three, the resolution concerning the advisory vote on the executive compensation of the company's named executive officers is approved. We expect to report our preliminary voting results, or if available to us on a timely basis, our final voting results on a current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days after the end of this meeting. If not reported earlier, we expect to report our final voting results in an amendment to our Form 8-K within four business days after the final results are known to us. This concludes the formal portion of today's meeting, and the Annual Meeting is now concluded. Thank you again for your attendance at today's meeting and for your continued support of Codexis. The conference has now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.
