Hello, I'm David Phipps, Chief Executive Officer of NextPlat Corp, and I want to welcome you to the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of our company, where we are asking you, as shareholders, to approve, among other things, the election of six board nominees to the company's board of directors. We appreciate your interest in our company and are pleased you are able to attend this meeting. I would like to introduce to you those officers and directors of the company who are with us today. Amanda Ferrio, our Chief Financial Officer, and Robert Bedwell, our Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary. At the outset, I wish to describe how we will conduct the meeting. First, there are some statements that must be made regarding notice of the meeting, the presence of a quorum, and such. There are four matters to be voted on. There will be no time allotted for questions from shareholders. The meeting will be conducted in accordance with the agenda and the rules of conduct, which you can find on the virtual meeting portal. You can also find a link to the joint proxy statement prospectus on the portal. Robert Bedwell will act as Secretary of the meeting, and I will act as the Chairman of the meeting. The Secretary has available for inspection a list of the stockholders entitled to vote. Mr. Secretary, please advise us concerning the mailing of the proxy statement, and please report as to a quorum. Mr. Chairman, the notice of the annual meeting, the proxy statement, the proxy, and the annual report were made available by mail or electronic delivery to all stockholders of record on or about April 30th, 2026. Jim Rayat, a representative with Broadridge Financial Solutions, is participating virtually today. He'll act as the Inspector of Election and will count and examine all votes. Mr. Rayat has signed an oath of Inspector of Election, in which he has sworn faithfully to execute his duties as inspector with strict impartiality and to the best of his ability. The Inspector of Election has reported that there are represented in person or by proxy the holders of record of a majority in voting interest of the outstanding shares of common stock of the company eligible to vote, constituting a quorum for the transaction of business. If anybody is planning on voting during this meeting, please go to the following web address, www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/NXPL2026 and enter the same control number used to enter the meeting. The chairman will open the poll shortly in order to enable you to vote on each matter to be voted on at this meeting. Thank you, Bob. I declare this 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of NextPlat Corp is duly and legally convened. The voting in all matters will be by stockholders present and by stockholders represented by proxy. According to the proxy statement mailed to stockholders, there are four matters to be voted on. One, the election of six directors. Two, the ratification of the appointment of RBSM LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026. Three, the approval on an advisory basis of the compensation of the company's named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement. Four, the authorization of the adjournment of the 2026 annual meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of proposals one, two, or three. If there are any stockholders of record who still wish to vote during the meeting, please go to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/NXPL2026 and enter the same control number you used to enter the meeting. If you have already completed a proxy, there is no need to complete a ballot in order to vote. The polls for each matter to be voted on at this meeting are hereby declared open. The polls will be open for approximately 30 seconds. Please do not leave the meeting while we give everyone a chance to vote over the next 30 seconds. The lines will now go silent for the next 30 seconds or so. All votes are now in. I declare the poll closed. The Inspector will take charge of the ballots cast, tabulate the vote, and submit a report in writing to the secretary. We are now ready to receive the report of the Inspector. Mr. Secretary, has your Inspector submitted his report on the proposals? Mr. Chairman, the Inspector has submitted his preliminary report on the proposals. A majority of the holders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote, voted in favor of proposals one, two, and three. Each of the director nominees has received a plurality of the votes cast, and therefore, each has been elected. Because there are sufficient votes to approve the proposals one through three, the adjournment contemplated by proposal four will not be necessary. The final results of the meeting will appear in a current report on Form 8-K that the company will file within four business days from this meeting. You have heard the report of the Inspector. I hereby request the Secretary to file the report as part of the proceedings of this meeting. In accordance with the report of the Inspector, I declare that the Inspector's report be accepted. The official business of this meeting is now concluded. I instruct the Secretary to prepare the official minutes of this meeting. I declare that the 2026 annual meeting of the stockholders of NextPlat Corp is hereby concluded. Thank you very much for attending today. We look forward to seeing you at next year's meeting. This concludes today's meeting. You may now disconnect.
