Good morning, and welcome to the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders at Evercore. Please note that this meeting will be recorded and will consist of copyright material. You may not record or rebroadcast these materials without Evercore's consent. I would now like to turn the call over to John Weinberg, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Evercore. Thank you. We sincerely thank you for taking the time to join us this morning for our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. At this time, I call the meeting to order. A copy of the agenda is on your screen, and the rules of conduct are available in the virtual shareholder meeting room. I will now turn the meeting over to our Corporate Secretary, Jason Klurfeld. Thank you, John. You will be able to participate in the meeting by voting and by submitting written questions if you held our stock as of the close of business on our record date of April 19th, 2024. Let me now provide an overview of how our meeting will proceed. First, I'll make several introductions, go over some procedural housekeeping necessary for our corporate record keeping, review the rules of conduct for our virtual meeting, and introduce the formal business of the meeting, including the four proposals being voted on today. I will then open the polls for voting, and we will answer any questions that we have received that relate to the proposals. After voting is closed, I will report on the preliminary voting results announced. I will then adjourn the formal part of the meeting, and we will address appropriate questions relevant to the business of the company. Present today are the following board members: Roger Altman, Founder and Senior Chairman, Pamela Carlton, Ellen Futter, Gail Harris, Robert Millard, Willard Overlock Jr., Sir Simon M. Robertson, John Weinberg, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, William Wheeler, and Sarah Williamson. Also present today is Tim LaLonde, our Chief Financial Officer, along with representatives from Deloitte & Touche. During the question and answer period at the end of the meeting, they will be available to answer questions concerning the company's financial statements. Jonathan Kaplan is acting as the Inspector of Elections and has previously taken the oath as Inspector of Elections. The proxy holders for this annual meeting are John Weinberg and myself. Rules of conduct. You will have access to the copy of the rules of conduct. In order to conduct an orderly meeting, we ask that participants follow these rules. Because this is a meeting of stockholders, only our stockholders, as of the close of business on our record date on April 19th, 2024, are permitted to vote and ask questions. To vote and submit questions, please follow the instructions in our virtual shareholder meeting room. You will be limited to a maximum of two questions. As a reminder, we will only answer those questions that are submitted in writing via these procedures. As noted, the record date for voting at this meeting was the close of business on April 19th, 2024. A list of stockholders on the record date, this year's notice of meeting and proxy statement, and our annual report are available for your review in the virtual shareholder meeting room. I have in my possession an affidavit showing that the proxy materials were duly mailed prior to May 7th, 2024, to stockholders of record. A copy of both the proxy notice and the affidavit of mailing will be incorporated into the minutes. We are informed that there are represented in person, electronically, or by proxy, a majority in voting power of the stock issued and outstanding, which is a sufficient number of shares for a quorum to be present for this meeting. This meeting is now duly convened for purposes of transacting business properly brought before it. The next order of business is a description of matters properly brought before this meeting. Voting will commence after all proposals have been presented. The first proposal is the election of directors. The first item of business is the election of directors. The 10 directors named in the proxy statement are to be elected today. The 10 nominees receiving a plurality of the votes of shares present in person or by proxy at this meeting will be elected as directors. Directors elected today will hold office until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and their successors are elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. The nominees are listed on the agenda. Proposal number two is the second item of business, the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers. The third item of business is to ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2024, and the final item of business is to approve the Third Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Inc. Stock Incentive Plan. I have moved all these proposals, and the polls are now open. If you have provided your proxy card, your shares will be voted accordingly without any further action on your part. If you intend to vote today, please follow the instructions shown in the virtual shareholder meeting room. At this time, we will address any questions relating to the foregoing proposal submitted through the virtual shareholder meeting room. If you have not submitted a question but would like to do so now, before we move on to voting, please follow the instructions in the virtual shareholder meeting room. I declare the polls now closed at 9:06 A.M. today, June 18th, 2024, and ask the Inspector of Elections to collect and tabulate the ballots. The ballots have been tabulated, and the preliminary results are that each of the nominees have been duly elected as directors of the company, each to serve his or her designated term, and the remaining proposals have received the requisite shareholder approval. I will file, I will file the following with the records of the meeting: a list of stockholders entitled to vote at this meeting, proxies voted at this meeting, the notice of mailing and proof of mailing, inspector's oaths and reports, ballots for the election of directors, and minutes of the meeting, minutes of the meeting's proceedings. Since there's no further official business to come before this meeting, I declare the meeting to be officially adjourned at 9:07 A.M., June 18th, 2024. We will now proceed with the informal portion of the meeting. At this time, we'll address any questions relating to the company's business that have been submitted through the virtual shareholder meeting room.

Also, I would like to remind everyone that we will not be discussing any material, non-public information at this meeting.
