Good morning, welcome to the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated, which I would now like to call to order. I'm Bobby Mehta, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and I will be officiating this morning's meeting. Thank you all for joining us today. We are excited to be hosting another virtual meeting, which allows us to be more inclusive and reach a greater number of our shareholders. I would like to welcome all shareholders attending via the web portal. As is our custom, we will conduct the business portion of our meeting first and take questions, if any, at the end of the meeting. Questions not addressed here will be answered through our investor relations department after the meeting. Before moving to the business of the meeting, I would like to introduce the other members of the Board of Directors. Matthew Carter, Jr., Susan Gore, Tina Ju, Bridget Macaskill, Deborah H. McAneny, Moses Ojeisekhoba, Jeetu Patel, Larry Quinlan, Efrain Rivera, and Christian Ulbrich. I would also like to recognize two departing directors who are not standing for re-election at this year's annual meeting, Hugo Bagué and Catherine Clay. Mr. Bagué has provided invaluable guidance and strategic insight to JLL over his years of service, and Ms. Clay has brought exceptional expertise in technology and innovation during her time on the board. JLL, its shareholders, and this board have greatly benefited from their contributions and dedicated service. I want to personally thank Mr. Bagué and Ms. Clay, along with the rest of our distinguished group of continuing directors, for their dedication to the company and their service on behalf of our shareholders. Biographical information on the directors who've been nominated for election today may be found in the proxy materials that we furnish to our shareholders for this meeting, and that we maintain on the company's website. Also present with us today are representatives from KPMG LLP. We will be voting today on the ratification of the board's selection of KPMG as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2026. They will be available during the Q&A session to respond to appropriate questions. An agenda and a list of the rules of conduct for the annual meeting are available at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/jll2026. To conduct an orderly meeting, we ask that participants abide by these rules and thank you for your cooperation. This meeting is being held pursuant to written notice mailed by Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated on April 17, 2026, to each shareholder of record on April 2nd, 2026. All documents concerning the call and notice of meeting will be filed with the minutes of the meeting. After the formal meeting has been adjourned, we will provide time for general questions. Only validated shareholders may ask questions in the designated field on the web portal. Out of consideration for others, please limit yourself to one question. Please note that this meeting is being recorded. However, no one attending via the webcast is permitted to use any audio recording device. I've been advised that a quorum is present, we will now proceed with the formal business of the meeting. I will now ask Alan Tse, our Corporate Secretary and Inspector of Elections, to review the terms of business that will be voted on at the meeting. Thank you, Bobby. Please note that we will give shareholders an opportunity to comment on the proposals themselves after all proposals have been presented. The first item of business is the election of 11 directors as nominees for one-year terms expiring at the 2027 annual meeting. The director nominees are Matthew Carter, Jr., Susan Gore, Tina Ju, Bridget Macaskill, Deborah H. McAneny, Bobby Mehta, Moses Ojeisekhoba, Jeetu Patel, Larry Quinlan, Efrain Rivera, and Christian Ulbrich. The second item of business is the approval by non-binding vote of our executive compensation. The third item is the approval of the Fifth Amended and Restated 2019 Stock Award and Incentive Plan. The fourth and final item of business is the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2026. Thank you, Alan. It is now 9:05 A.M. Central Time, and the polls are open. Each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock registered in the shareholder's name on the recorded date of April 2nd, 2026, for each director nominee and for each of the other matters presented. Any shareholder who hasn't yet voted or wishes to change their vote may do so by clicking on the voting button on the web portal and following the instructions there. Shareholders who have sent in proxies or voted via telephone or internet, and do not want to change their vote, do not need to take any further action. Now that everyone has had the opportunity to vote, I declare the polls for the 2026 annual shareholder meeting closed. We have now completed the formal business portion of the meeting. Mr. Tse will now report the results of the voting. According to our stock registrar, Computershare, 46,393,114 shares of the company's common stock were outstanding as of April 2nd, 2026, and are entitled to vote at this meeting. The voting results have been provided to us by Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, which has received and tabulated the results. First, with respect to the election of 11 directors, each of the 11 nominees received a majority of the votes cast for each nominee. Second, the proposal to approve by non-binding vote executive compensation received a majority of the votes cast. Third, the proposal to approve the Fifth Amended and Restated 2019 Stock Award and Incentive Plan received a majority of the votes cast. Fourth, the proposal for the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP received a majority of the votes cast. Thank you, Alan. Based on Mr. Tse's report, I declare that all 11 nominees have been elected directors of this company for one-year terms expiring at the 2027 annual meeting. The non-binding proposal regarding executive compensation has been approved. The Fifth Amended and Restated 2019 Stock Award and Incentive Plan has been approved, and the appointment of KPMG LLP has been ratified.
