Good morning. Welcome to the annual stockholders' meeting of Gladstone Investment Corporation. This is Catherine Gerkis, Director of Investor Relations for the company. We have with us the following representative of the company, Erich Hellmold, Co-General Counsel, who will act as Secretary of this meeting. It is now 11:00 A.M., and the meeting will now officially come to order. We will proceed with the business of the meeting as set forth in the notice of annual meeting and the proxy statement. We have appointed Erich Hellmold to be the acting Secretary of the meeting. Will the Secretary please report on the mailing of the notice of the annual meeting and the stockholders list? I have here a complete list of the stockholders of record of the company's common stock on June 10th, 2026, the record date for this meeting. I also have an affidavit certifying that on June 18th, 2026, a notice of the annual meeting of stockholders of the company was first mailed to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 10th, 2026. Thank you, Erich. Erich has been appointed as the Inspector of Election at this meeting. Broadridge Financial Solutions tabulated the votes, and the Inspector and his staff have been in contact with the representatives from Broadridge in connection with the vote tally. Erich has also taken and subscribed the customary oath of office to impartially execute his duties as Inspector of Election. We will file this oath with the records of the meeting. The function is to decide upon the qualifications of voters, accept their votes, and at the end of balloting, to tally the final vote. Will the Secretary please report at this time with respect to the existence of a quorum? Proxies have received for 44.03% of the 39,821,967 shares of common stock outstanding on the record date so 17,534,069 shares of present person or by proxy, which is less than the number needed to constitute the quorum. So that the company may take some action is necessary to obtain a quorum. This meeting is now adjourned until September 4th 2026 at 11:00 AM where final will be reconvened also as a virtual meeting. That is the end of the meeting. Thank you. This concludes today's annual meeting. You may now disconnect.
