Thank you for standing by, and welcome to the Denny's Corporation special meeting. I will now turn the call over to Olu Beck. Please go ahead. Good morning. I am Olu Beck, Chair of the Board of Directors of Denny's Corporation. It is my pleasure to welcome you to this special meeting of stockholders of Denny's Corporation. On behalf of the entire board, I would like to thank you for your support of the company over the years. I will now call the meeting to order. At this time, I would like to introduce you to those members of Denny's management who, in addition to myself, will be addressing the meeting today: Gail Sharps Myers, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal and Administrative Officer, and Secretary of Denny's, and Kelli F. Valade, the company's Chief Executive Officer, who has been appointed the Presiding Officer of the meeting. I would now ask Kelli and Gail to organize and bring before the meeting its scheduled business. Thank you, Olu. Before proceeding to the business of this meeting, there are certain legal matters that we must address to make certain we are conducting a duly authorized meeting. This meeting will be conducted as a virtual-only internet and audio webcast. We are pleased to use this technology as a convenient, safe, and efficient means to communicate with you, our stockholders. On today's webcast webpage, you will see an agenda for today's meeting, as well as a link to the rules and procedures for the conduct of the meeting. We intend to conduct the meeting in accordance with this agenda and these rules and procedures. As a reminder, stockholders who desire to vote during the meeting must follow the instructions provided on the virtual meeting platform. Please note that we will give stockholders an opportunity to ask questions with respect to the proposals themselves after all proposals have been presented. Only stockholders, as of November 26th, 2025, the record date, may ask questions in the designated field on the web portal. Out of consideration for others, please limit yourself to one question. If you have previously submitted a question for the management in connection with your proxy vote, we have a record of it, and you do not need to resubmit your question again today. Thank you, Kelli. Also in attendance by way of webcast is Richard Leza Jr. of the Carideo Group Inc, who will serve as Inspector of Election for this meeting. The Inspector of Election has presented me with his signed oath as Inspector of Election prior to the meeting. He will file this oath with the records of the meeting. The Inspector of Election's function is to determine the presence of a quorum, decide upon the qualifications of voters, accept their votes, and when balloting on all matters is completed, to tally the final votes. For the record of this meeting, I am submitting a copy of the notice of the special meeting of stockholders dated December 1, 2025, concerning the matters to be considered and acted upon at the meeting, and a copy of the proxy statement and proxy card, together with an affidavit of mailing executed by an employee of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc, the proxy processing service provider for the company. I also have present a list of the stockholders, which list is certified by an officer of Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company, the company's transfer agent, listing each stockholder of record at the close of business on November 26, 2025, the date fixed by the Board of Directors as the record date for this meeting. The list of stockholders was made available for inspection by any stockholder for any purpose relevant to the meeting during ordinary business hours at our corporate offices located at 203 East Main Street, Spartanburg, South Carolina, for a period of 10 days ending on the day before the meeting date and is available for review by any such stockholder during the course of this meeting. Each of these documents will be filed with the minutes of the meeting. The report of the Inspector of Election indicates that there are present at the meeting in person or by proxy the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the shares of stock of the company issued, outstanding, and entitled to vote at the meeting. Due notice of the meeting having been given and a quorum being present, the meeting is qualified to transact business. At this time, I would like to recognize Kelli Valade, Denny's Chief Executive Officer. Thank you, Gail. We will now proceed with the formal business of this meeting. The time is now 10:05 A.M. on January 13th, 2026, and the polls are now open for voting on all matters to be presented. If you have already submitted a proxy, you do not need to vote at this time. If you elect to vote virtually during this live meeting, please follow the instructions for voting posted on the virtual meeting website. You will need the 16-digit control number included in the notice sent to you by mail or on your proxy card that accompanied the proxy materials. All votes must be received by the Inspector of Election before the polls close. If you have previously submitted a proxy and wish to now vote virtually during this live webcast, the online vote will constitute a revocation of your prior proxy. Any stockholders who wish to vote at this meeting should proceed now to record their votes, as should the proxies. The polls will be closed to voting after we go through the matters to be voted on. The following three proposals have been properly set forth to come before and be considered by the stockholders at this meeting. Proposal 1: To adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 3rd, 2025, by and among the company Sparkle Topco Corp and Sparkle Acquisition Corp, providing for, among other things, the merger of Sparkle Acquisition Corp with and into the company, with the company surviving the merger as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Sparkle Acquisition Corp. Proposal 2: To approve on a non-binding advisory basis certain compensation that may be paid or become payable to the company's named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger, and Proposal 3: To approve one or more adjournments of the special meeting of stockholders to a later date or time, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to adopt the merger agreement at the time of this meeting. At this time, if any stockholder would like to ask a question related to the proposals, you may now submit questions through the Q&A field in the web portal for the meeting. We have received one question. The question is, when do you expect to complete the transaction? Kelli? Thank you, Gail. We expect to complete the transaction in the near future. With no further questions, the polls are now closed. Will the Inspector of Election please take charge of any proxies that have been filed. Will the Inspector of Election please take charge of any proxies that have been filed. We will pause for a moment while the Inspector of Election makes his final tabulation of stockholders present in person or by proxy. Will the Inspector of Election kindly submit his report of the number of shares of common stock of the company represented at the meeting, either in person or by proxy? We have been informed by the Inspector of Election that there are represented at the meeting, either in person or by proxy, at least 39,780,712 shares of common stock out of a total number of 51,498,994 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting. Thank you, Gail. Will the Inspector of Election please prepare a preliminary report concerning the votes upon proposals one, two, and three? Pursuant to the preliminary report of the Inspector of Election, the following numbers of votes cast by the holders of common stock have been voted as follows. On Proposal 1, which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the record date and entitled to vote at this meeting, at least 39,490,370 shares have voted for the adoption of the merger agreement. On Proposal 2, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at this meeting, at least 34,741,402 shares have voted for the proposal to approve on a non-binding advisory basis the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the company's named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger. On Proposal 3, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at this meeting, at least 38,254,509 shares have voted for one or more adjournments of the meeting to a later date or time, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to adopt the merger agreement at the time of this meeting. Thank you, Gail. The preliminary report of the Inspector of Election, therefore, indicates that: Proposal 1, the adoption of the merger agreement providing for, among other things, the merger of Sparkle Acquisition Corp with and into the company with the company surviving the merger as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Sparkle Acquisition Corp has been duly approved by the stockholders of the company. Proposal 2, the approval on a non-binding advisory basis of the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the company's named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger has been duly approved by the stockholders of the company. And Proposal 3, the approval of one or more adjournments of the meeting to a later date or time, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to adopt the merger agreement at the time of the special meeting has been duly approved by the stockholders of the company. However, because Proposal 1 was approved, such adjournment is not necessary. Will the Inspector of Election please file his final report as soon as possible after this meeting with the Secretary of the Company, and the Secretary of the Company will file such report with the records of this meeting. The final results from today's meeting will be filed on a current report on Form 8-K within four business days of this meeting. With no further business, the meeting is now adjourned. Thank you so much for attending. This concludes today's meeting. You may now disconnect.
