Shareholders of record on that date are entitled to vote at this meeting. We have at this meeting a record of stockholders as of that date. A duplicate record has been on file at the principal place of business of the corporation for the last 10 days immediately prior to the date of the meeting and has been available for inspection by any stockholder during that period at any time during normal business hours. In order to expedite the flow of business, we will follow this sequence of events. First, the polls will be opened. Each of the matters to be voted on by the shareholders at this meeting will be presented in the order set forth in the proxy statement. We will follow the presentation of each proposal with the opportunity for shareholders to ask questions relating to that proposal. Once all proposals have been presented, the polls will be closed, and the formal meeting will be adjourned. Meeting participants can enter a question online at any point during the meeting by typing it into the Q&A section towards the bottom of your screen. If you have a question or comment that relates to a proposal being presented today, please submit it as soon as possible and prior to the discussion of the proposal. If you have questions that are not related to the proposals, please submit them at any time. The board of directors has appointed Gene Capello to act as Inspector of Election for this annual meeting, and he will tabulate results of the voting. The Inspector of Election has signed the oath of his office, which will be filed with the minutes of this meeting. Mr. Capello, do we have a quorum present? Mr. President, of the 25,994,658 shares of common stock entitled to vote at the meeting, 15,981,455 shares are represented either in person or by proxy, and therefore a quorum is present. I declare that a quorum is present. We may now proceed to transact the business for which this meeting has been called. You may vote at the meeting through the virtual portal by clicking on the voting button towards the bottom of your screen. If you have already voted before today's meeting and you do not wish to change your vote, you do not need to vote again at the meeting. Your vote will be cast as you have previously instructed.

It is now 3:06 Central European Time on June the 1st, 2021, and the polls for each matter to be voted on at this annual meeting are now open. Our first item of business is the election of directors. At this meeting, we will be voting on two nominees for Class II directors to serve for a term of three years. All is set forth in the proxy statement. In accordance with the bylaws, our directors have nominated Michael A. Kelly and Jean-Charles Soria to be elected to serve as Class II directors. The corporation's bylaws require that a stockholder provide advance notice to the corporation of a stockholder's intent to nominate persons as directors. No such notice was received. Accordingly, I declare the nominations for directors closed. The board of directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote in favor of this proposal. Are there any questions concerning the proposal? Does not seem to be the case. Anyone who is voting through the virtual portal, please submit your vote now. The second item of business is the ratification of the appointment of PwC Wirtschaftsprüfung GmbH as the corporation's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2021. The audit committee of the board of directors, which is comprised entirely of independent directors, appointed PwC Wirtschaftsprüfung GmbH as the corporation's independent registered public accounting firm to audit the corporation's financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2021. The board of directors approved the selection of PwC Wirtschaftsprüfung GmbH and has asked the stockholders to ratify the selection. Stockholder ratification is not required by the corporation's bylaws. However, the board of directors is submitting this to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance. If the stockholders do not approve the selection of PwC Wirtschaftsprüfung GmbH as the corporation's independent registered public accounting firm, the board of directors and the audit committee will reconsider the appointment. Are there any questions concerning the proposal? Don't seem to be any questions. Anyone who is voting through the virtual portal, please submit your vote now. That concludes the voting on the proposal set forth in the proxy statement. I will pause briefly to allow shareholders to submit any final votes. It is now 3:09, nine minutes past three, Central European Time on June 1st, 2021, and the polls for each matter to be voted on at this meeting are now closed. No additional proxies or votes and no changes or revocations will be accepted. Inspector of Election, please report on the results of the voting. With regard to proposal one, a plurality of the votes present or represented and entitled to vote has been voted in favor of the election of the persons nominated. With regard to proposal two, the majority of the shares present or represented and entitled to vote have been voted in favor of the ratification of PwC Wirtschaftsprüfung GmbH as the corporation's independent registered accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. Thank you, Mr. Capello. I declare that all of the proposals presented at the meeting have been overwhelmingly ratified or approved by the stockholders. The final results of voting, including any ballots and proxies recorded during this meeting, will be set forth in the report of the Inspector of Election and will be included in the minutes of the meeting. The final results will also be included in our reports filed with the SEC. There have been no questions received from shareholders. Okay. Thank you.
