Welcome to the annual meeting for Coupang, Inc. Our host for today's call is Bom Kim, Chief Executive Officer, Founder, and Chair of the Board. I will now turn the call over to your host. Bom Kim, you may begin. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It is 5:00 P.M. Pacific Time. I would like to officially call to order the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of Coupang, Inc. I am Bom Kim, the CEO and Chair of the Board, and I will be presiding over this meeting today. We are conducting the annual meeting virtually this year as it provides expanded stockholder access, improves communications, and reduces the carbon footprint of our activities. The rules of conduct have been provided on the virtual meeting website and outline how we will proceed with today's meeting. To conduct an informative, orderly, and constructive meeting, we ask that participants please abide by these rules. This annual meeting is being held in accordance with the company's bylaws and applicable Delaware law. During this meeting, we will address the matters described in the company's proxy statement dated April 27, 2026, and the proxy statement supplemented, dated May 18, 2026. Now, I would like to introduce the other members of our board and the executive officers who are virtually attending today. Joining us this evening are board members Jason Child, our Lead Independent Director, Neil Mehta, Benjamin Sun, and Ambereen Toubassy. Other members of our management here with me today are Gaurav Anand, our Chief Financial Officer, and H.L. Rogers, our General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer. Additionally, joining us today is Tony Fewell, a representative from our independent registered public accounting firm, Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers. In addition, a representative from Broadridge Financial, Laura Cisneros, our Inspector of Elections, is present to assist with the meeting. I would like to turn it over to H.L. Rogers, our General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer, to handle the matters to be voted on at this meeting. Thank you, Bom. I have an affidavit from our Inspector of Elections stating that the notice of this meeting and proxy materials were mailed or delivered electronically by email beginning April 27, 2026, to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 13, 2026. Our Inspector of Elections has determined that a quorum is present for all matters to be voted on at today's annual meeting. Therefore, we have a quorum present for the conduct of business, and this meeting is duly constituted. The polls opened at the beginning of the meeting at 5:00 P.M. Pacific Time, and we will close the polls on all matters immediately after the presentation of today's proposals. Most of you have already voted by proxy, and your shares will be voted accordingly. You do not need to vote again at this time unless you wish to change your vote. If anyone would like to vote now or revoke their prior vote, please follow the instructions on the meeting website before the polls close. Each of the proposals to be voted on today is set forth in our proxy statement. I'll now introduce each of the proposals, which are the election of seven director nominees named in our proxy statement, the ratification of the appointment of Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, and a non-binding vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. We will now pause to allow for any final votes on the proposals. I now declare the polls closed at 5:04 P.M. Pacific Time. We've been informed by the Inspector of Elections that based on the preliminary voting results, each nominee for election to the board of directors has been duly elected. The appointment of Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, has been ratified, and the non-binding vote on the compensation of our named executive officers has been approved. Following the meeting, we will publicly announce the official voting results on a Form 8-K once all the verifications have been completed by the Inspector of Elections. I will now hand the meeting back over to Bom to adjourn the meeting. Thank you, H.L. The 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of Coupang, Inc is now adjourned, and the meeting is concluded. Thank you all for participating. This now concludes the meeting. Thank you for joining, and have a pleasant day.
