We will announce the preliminary number of votes in our totals. The final vote count will be certified after the meeting and reported as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. We are considering five proposals today, all of which are described in detail in the proxy statement previously provided to stockholders. They are the election of directors, an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, an amendment and restatement of the 2006 employee stock purchase plan, the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2025. Accordingly, I declare the polls open.

If you have already voted and do not want to change your vote, you need take no further action. Mr. Carroll, please proceed with the proposals. Thank you, Mr. Van Arsdell.

The final item of business is consideration of a proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025.
