Matt, will you 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 holders of record of the company's Class A and Class B common stock on April 15th, 2024, the record date for this meeting. A list of stockholders of record is available for inspection by stockholders of record during this meeting for any reason germane to this meeting. In your online Broadridge portal, you should be able to view the list. I also have an affidavit certifying that on April 19th, 2024, a notice of annual meeting of stockholders of the company was deposited in the United States Mail to all stockholders of record at the close of business on April 15th, 2024. At this time, I'd like to introduce Louis Larson of Broadridge Financial Solutions, who is present virtually. Mr. Larson was appointed by our Board to act as Inspector of Election at this meeting. Mr. Larson has taken and subscribed 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 shares constituting a quorum for the meeting today, and we may now carry out the official business of the meeting. We will now proceed with the formal business of this meeting. After all of the proposals have been described, but before the polls are closed, we will respond to appropriate questions related to the proposals submitted through the online Broadridge portal as time permits. As a reminder, we will only respond to questions pertaining to these proposals during this portion of the meeting. We will respond to appropriate general questions related to the company's business if time permits after the formal portion of the meeting has concluded. Please submit any questions as soon as possible for our review. There are three proposals to be considered by the stockholders at this meeting. The first item of business is the election of nine directors to serve until the next annual meeting and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The nominees for director are Neil Blumenthal, Julie Bornstein, Cliff Burrows, Nicolas Jammet, Valerie Jarrett, Youngme Moon, Jonathan Neman, Nathaniel Ru, and Bradley Singer. The second item of business is the ratification of the selection by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the company for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2024. The third item of business today is the non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. This is commonly referred to as a say-on-pay vote. That was the final proposal for today's meeting. We will now review if there are any questions submitted about the proposals before we close the polls. Please note that our discussion today may include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ materially from those discussed here. Additional information concerning factors that could cause such a difference can be found in our most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K. Matt, are there any questions on the proposals? There are no questions. There are no questions. We will pause for a moment to give anyone who hasn't voted a chance to do so. The time is now 9:08 A.M., and the polls are now closed for voting. May we have the results of the voting? The report of the Inspector of Election covering the proposals presented at this meeting is as follows: The proposal to elect Neil Blumenthal, Julie Bornstein, Cliff Burrows, Nicolas Jammet, Valerie Jarrett, Youngme Moon, Jonathan Neman, Nathaniel Ru, and Bradley Singer as directors of the company is carried. The selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2024, is ratified. The resolution concerning the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers is approved. We expect to report our preliminary voting results, or if available to us on a timely basis, our final voting results on a current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days after the end of this meeting. If not earlier reported, we expect to report our final voting results in an amendment to our Form 8-K within four business days after the final results are known to us. This concludes the formal portion of today's meeting, and the annual meeting has now concluded. We will now entertain any appropriate questions from stockholders relating to the company's business. Matt, are there any questions? There are no questions. Thank you again for your attendance at today's meeting and for your continued support of Sweetgreen.
