Good morning, and welcome to Sealed Air Corporation's special meeting of stockholders. I would now like to turn the meeting over to the President and CEO of Sealed Air Corporation, Ted Doheny. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Ted Doheny, President and CEO of Sealed Air. It's my privilege to welcome you to our special meeting. I would like to thank you for your trust in us and in Sealed Air. I will preside over the meeting, and Susan Urquhart-Brown, our Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary, will act as secretary. As presiding officer, I have appointed Victor W. LaTessa, representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions, to serve as the Inspector of Election for this meeting. There are several formalities to be handled. I would like to ask our secretary to take care of them at this time. Stefanie? Thank you, Dustin. The polls are now open, and you may cast your vote on the matters proposed to the stockholders for this meeting. The Inspector of Election has tallied the votes received by proxies. If you have already delivered a proxy to the company, your stock will be voted as you have specified in your proxy. Any stockholder logged into the special meeting may also vote or change their vote by clicking the Vote Here button on your screen. The polls will remain open until all of the matters to be voted upon have been presented. I have received an affidavit from Broadridge certifying that commencing on January 26, 2026, our proxy materials and voting instructions for today's meeting were mailed or made available to all stockholders of record at the close of business on January 16, 2026. A complete listing of the stockholders of record, who are entitled to vote, is available for inspection during the meeting and will be filed with the records of the meeting. The Inspector of Election has provided us with a preliminary count of the shares present by proxy at this meeting. That count shows that a quorum is present. Thank you, Stefanie. Since a quorum is present, we will proceed to present and vote on the matters described in the proxy statement. The first matter to be acted upon is the adoption of the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of November 16th, 2025, by and among SOAR Purchaser, LLC, SOAR Merger Sub, Incorporated, and Sealed Air. The board of director recommends that stockholders vote in favor of this proposal. The next matter to be acted upon is the approval on an advisory, non-binding basis of the compensation that may be paid or become payable to Sealed Air's named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The board of directors recommends that stockholders vote in favor of this proposal. I have been advised, based on a preliminary tabulation of proxies received, that there are sufficient votes to approve the adoption of the merger agreement. Accordingly, the last proposal included in the proxy statement, which relates to the adjournment of the special meeting, if there are insufficient votes to adopt the merger agreement at the time of the special meeting, will not be submitted for vote today. We will pause now to give stockholders a final opportunity to vote. The polls will close shortly thereafter. The polls are now closed for voting on the matters before the meeting. Will the Inspector of the Election please give his report? Victor? More than 77% of the shares of Sealed Air common stock outstanding have voted for the adoption of the merger agreement, and more than 96% of the voting power of Sealed Air common stock, present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting, has been voted for on an advisory, non-binding basis. The compensation that may be paid or become payable to Sealed Air's named executive officers, that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. I will file my formal report with the Secretary. Thank you. Based on the report of the Inspector of Election, I declare that the merger proposal and the compensation proposal have been approved or ratified. The Secretary will incorporate the formal report of the Inspector of Election, including the results of the votes, with the record of this meeting. The final tally of the votes will be published within four business days in a current report on Form 8-K, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This concludes the formal business of the meeting. I hereby adjourn the meeting, and thank you for your continued support of Sealed Air. Operator, back to you. This concludes today's call. Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.
