Thank you, operator. Good morning, everyone. I'm Corey Thomas, and I am Executive Chairman of Rapid7. I'm very happy to welcome you to Rapid7's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. I would like to introduce you to the members of the board and management team who are with us on the webcast today. The other members of the board here today are Marc Brown, Mike Burns, Kevin Galligan, and Tom Schodorf. Additionally, here today are Wael Mohamed, our Chief Executive Officer and board member, Rafe Brown, our Chief Financial Officer, Sunil Shah, our SVP Finance, Peter Kaes, our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, and Christopher Keenan, our VP and Deputy General Counsel. I would also like to introduce Nicholas Natale of KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, who are available to respond to appropriate questions. This meeting will now officially come to order. We will proceed with the formal business of the meeting as set forth in your notice of annual meeting and proxy statement, as supplemented by the proxy supplement and the agenda for the meeting visible on your screen. After the official business has been concluded and the stockholder meeting adjourned, we'll hold a Q&A session where you will have the opportunity to ask general questions about the company. Will the Secretary please report at this time with respect to the mailing of the notice of Internet availability of proxy materials and stockholders list? Mr. Chairman, I have at this meeting a complete list of the stockholders of record of our common stock on April 15th, 2026, the record date for this meeting, which shows that 66,772,182 shares of common stock are entitled to vote at this meeting. I also have with me an affidavit certifying that on April 22nd, 2026, a notice of Internet availability of proxy materials was deposited in the U.S. mail to all stockholders of record at the close of business on April 15th, 2026. At this time, I'd like to introduce Louis Larson of Broadridge, who is on the line today. I'm appointing Louis Larson to act as Inspector of Elections at this meeting. Louis Larson has taken the subscribed and customary oath of office to execute his duties with strict impartiality, and 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? A preliminary count of the stock represented in person or by proxy at this meeting indicates that the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock as of the record date are present at this meeting in person or by proxy, constituting a quorum. We may now carry out the official business of the meeting. We will now proceed with the formal business of this meeting. There are three proposals to be considered by the stockholders at this meeting. Mr. Kaes will now discuss the procedures for transaction of business at today's meeting. As noted previously, the order of business will be as described in the agenda for today's meeting. All stockholders will be able to cast ballots for each matter to be voted on. To cast your ballot, please follow the instructions shown in the virtual meeting room. Please note, however, that if you have already voted, you do not need to take any additional action unless you wish to change your vote. All proxy voting forms already returned by stockholders and all votes already cast will remain valid and will be voted as directed unless they are revoked. Stockholders will have the opportunity to comment on the proposals themselves after all the proposals have been presented. If you are a stockholder or a legal proxy holder and you wish to make a statement, please submit your statement in the field provided in the virtual meeting room. Please keep your statements brief and limit them to specific items up for discussion. As noted previously, there will be an opportunity for general questions following the formal portion of this meeting. The time is now 11:36 A.M. on Tuesday, June 9th, and the polls are open for voting on all matters to be presented. The polls will be closed to voting after we go through the matters to be voted on.

The third item of business today is the advisory vote on the executive compensation of the company's named executive officers as described in the proxy statement. The stockholders have been asked to vote on an advisory basis on the following resolution. Resolved, that the compensation paid to the company's named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation discussion and analysis compensation tables and related narrative disclosures is hereby approved.
