Welcome to the Exact Sciences Corporation 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Our host for today's call is Kevin Conroy, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. At this time, all participants will be in a listen-only mode. I would now like to turn the floor over to your host, Mr. Conroy. You may begin. Good morning, and welcome to the annual meeting of the shareholders of Exact Sciences Corporation. I now call this meeting to order. Aaron Bloomer, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will act as voting inspector for today's meeting. James Herriott, our General Counsel, will act as Secretary of the meeting. We are pleased to hold our annual meeting virtually to increase access and participation. Shareholders may submit questions at any time during this meeting in the space provided on the virtual meeting screen and may vote any time until polls are closed. The board of directors set April 15th, 2024, as the record date for this shareholders meeting. The notice of meeting and internet availability of proxy materials were mailed to Broadridge Financial Solutions beginning April 25th, 2024. In order to determine whether a quorum is present for the purpose of transacting business, does the voting inspector have a preliminary report of the common stock represented at the meeting? A partial count of the shares of common stock represented at the meeting, in person or by proxy, shows that the holders of more than a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the meeting is represented. In view of the report of the voting inspector, I declare a quorum present and the meeting ready for the transaction of business. As set forth in the notice of meeting and the proxy materials, this meeting has been called for the purpose of considering and acting upon the following matters: election of three members of the board of directors to serve as Class III directors, ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2024, approval on an advisory basis of the compensation paid to our named executive officers. Each item of business on the agenda will be presented for discussion. I declare the polls for voting to be open as of 10:02 A.M. All shareholders entitled to vote at this meeting may do so online. If you're a shareholder entitled to vote at this meeting and have not yet voted, or if you want to change your previously cast vote, please do so via the website used to access this meeting. Please remember that if you have already voted by proxy, it is not necessary to vote again. All shares represented by proxy will be voted as specified in the form of the proxy. Shares represented by proxy, where no vote is specified, will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the board of directors. I will now present the three proposals on today's agenda. If you have questions regarding any of the proposals, please submit them during this time by following the instructions on the webcast. The first item of business is the election of directors. The board of directors has nominated the following persons to serve as Class III directors of the company: Michael Barber, Paul Clancy, Daniel Levangie. The board of directors recommends a vote for each nominee. The second matter being submitted to shareholders for action is the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2024. The board of directors recommends a vote for this proposal. The third matter being submitted to shareholders for action is the approval on an advisory basis of the compensation paid to our named executive officers. The board of directors recommends a vote for this proposal. We will now briefly pause to allow any final questions regarding the proposals to be submitted. There are no questions for review at this time. We will also have time for more general Q&A following the meeting. This completes the presentation of proposals to be voted on at this meeting. Before closing the polls, we will now pause for 60 seconds to allow shareholders a final opportunity to vote. Any votes cast today will be counted in the final tally, along with the proxies previously received. Since everyone has now had the opportunity to vote, I declare the polls closed for the matters voted upon at the meeting as of 10:06 A.M. Central Time.
