Good morning. My name is Jeannie, and welcome to the 2026 Annual General Meeting of stockholders of DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. I will now turn the meeting over to Chief Executive Officer of DigitalOcean, Paddy Srinivasan. Thank you very much. Good morning, everyone. My name is Paddy Srinivasan, and I am the Chief Executive Officer and the Director of DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. On behalf of everyone at DigitalOcean, I want to welcome you and thank you for attending our 2026 annual stockholder meeting. Joining us virtually today are members of our board of directors, our Chief Financial Officer, Matt Steinfort, our Senior Vice President of Corporate Development and Investor Relations, Radu Patrichi, and our Chief Legal and Administrative Officer, Brady Mickelsen, who will act as secretary of this meeting. Brady will now conduct the formal portion of this meeting. Thank you, Paddy. The meeting will now officially come to order. The time is now 10:01 A.M. Mountain Time on Monday, June 15th, 2026, and the polls are open for voting on all matters to be presented. As you know, we're hosting today's meeting through a virtual online platform hosted by Broadridge. Before we proceed with the formal business of the meeting, I'd like to note that present virtually at this meeting are representatives from Broadridge, who's hosting the meeting, and PricewaterhouseCoopers, the company's independent registered public accounting firm, who are available to respond to questions as needed. We'll proceed with the formal business of the meeting in the order set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement. We'll first present the three proposals submitted by our board for approval. We'll take questions related to the proposals after all the proposals have been presented, after which we'll announce the preliminary results of the voting. After I describe each item to be voted on and take questions, we'll close the polls for voting. We will not accept ballots, proxies, revocations, or changes 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 before the polls are closed in order for it to be counted. The webcast portal includes the rules of conduct for this meeting. In order to conduct an orderly meeting, we ask that you follow these rules. Stockholders may submit questions or comments for the Q&A portion of this meeting through the text box located on the virtual meeting screen. We'll allow time to answer questions that pertain to the proposals before the polls are closed. At this time, I'd like to introduce Francis Byrd of Carideo Group, who is present virtually. I'm appointing Mr. Byrd to act as Inspector of Election at this meeting. Mr. Byrd has taken and subscribed the customary oath of office to execute his duties with strict impartiality. His function is to decide upon the qualification of voters, accept their votes, and when balloting on all matters is completed, to tally the final votes. I have received from Broadridge an affidavit certifying that on April 24th, 2026, the mailing of the notice of annual meeting of stockholders of the company commenced via U.S. Mail to all stockholders of record at the close of business on April 17th, 2026. I've been informed by the Inspector of Election that proxies have been received for shares constituting a quorum for the meeting today, and we may now carry out the official business of the meeting. We will now proceed with the formal business. There are three proposals to be considered by the stockholders at this meeting. The first item of business is the election of two Class II directors to serve until the 2029 annual meeting or until each of their successors is duly elected and qualified. The nominees for the Class II directors are Warren Adelman and Pueo Keffer. The second item of business today is the ratification and the selection by the Audit Committee of the board of PricewaterhouseCoopers as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2026. The third and final item of business today is the approval on a non-binding advisory basis of the compensation of our named executive officers as set forth in the company's proxy statement for this annual meeting. We will now review any questions submitted about the specific proposals presented at this meeting for a vote before we close the polls. Radu, are there any questions pertaining to the three proposals? No, there are no questions. Thank you. The time is now 10:04 A.M. Mountain Time, and the polls are closed for voting. I will now announce the preliminary results of the voting. The report of the Inspector of Election covering the proposals presented at this meeting is as follows. Warren Adelman and Pueo Keffer have been elected as Class II directors of the company. 2. The selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 is ratified. 3. The compensation of the company's named executive officers, as disclosed in the company's proxy statement for this annual meeting, is approved on a non-binding advisory basis. Please note that this represents the preliminary voting results. Any votes cast during the meeting have not yet been counted. Following the meeting, we will publicly announce the official voting results on Form 8-K once all verifications have been completed by the Inspector of Election. Thank you again for your attendance at today's meeting and for your continued support of DigitalOcean. This concludes today's meeting, and the annual meeting is now adjourned. Thank you all for joining. You may now disconnect.
