After the formal part of our meeting, we'll give you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have related to today's agenda. Will the secretary please report at this time with respect to the mailing of the notice of the meeting and the stockholders list? I have at this meeting a complete list of the stockholders of record of Loar's capital stock on April 6th, 2026, the record date for this meeting, which is available on the annual meeting portal if any shareholder wishes to examine it. I also have an affidavit certifying that on April 14th, 2026, a notice of annual meeting of stockholders of Loar was deposited in the United States Mail to stockholders of record at the close of business on April 6th, 2026. Great. At this time, I'd like to introduce Chris Woods of American Election Services, who I am appointing to act as Inspector of Election at this meeting. Chris Woods has taken and subscribed to the customary oath of office to execute his duties with strict impartiality. We will file this oath with the records of the meeting. His function is to decide upon the qualifications of voters, accept their votes, and when balloting on all matters is completed, to tally the final votes. Will the secretary please report at this time with respect to the existence of a quorum? I have been informed by the Inspector of Election that proxies have been received for 76,182,235 of the 93,624,471 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, which represents approximately 81.37% of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote at this meeting.
