Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome and thank you for attending T1 Energy's annual meeting of stockholders. I am Dan Barcelo, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of T1 Energy. We are holding our annual meeting in a virtual format, which we believe will facilitate increased stockholder participation while reducing the financial burden to attend the meeting. If we encounter any technical difficulties during this virtual meeting, we ask that you please stand by and allow us time to provide an update regarding the meeting. Joining us today by audio are my fellow directors, Richard Anderson, Todd Kantor, David Manners, Peter Matrai, Dan Steingart, Jessica Strine, and Robert Hammond. Joining us today by audio are certain officers of T1. Evan Calio, CFO, Andy Munro, Chief Legal and Compliance Officer, Evan Calio, Corporate Secretary, and Jeffrey Spittel, Executive Vice President, Investor Relations. Representatives from KPMG, the company's independent registered public accounting firm, have also joined us today. Also present by audio is Tony Carideo, a representative from Broadridge, who will be acting as the Inspector of Election for today's meeting. The inspector's principal obligation is to determine and certify the results of voting. The meeting will please come to order. I will preside over the meeting. Evan Calio will act as Secretary of the meeting. I have in my possession a copy of the notice of the annual meeting, which states the time, place, and purpose of the annual meeting. I also have in my possession an affidavit of distribution from Broadridge, certifying the distribution of the proxy materials to all stockholders of record of the company as of May 8th, 2026. The record date which determines these stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting. The affidavit of distribution will be incorporated into the minute book of the company as part of the minutes of the meeting. Will the Secretary of the meeting report on the quorum? I have in my possession a certified true and complete copy of a list of all the stockholders of the company at the close of business on May 8, 2026, the record date. This list has been open during the usual hours of business for examination by stockholders. The number of shares of common stock outstanding at the record date and entitled to vote was 279,068,577, and each share has one vote. The number of shares represented at this meeting, in person or by proxy, is at least a majority of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting as of the record date, and therefore, a quorum is present. Based on the Secretary's report, I declare that a quorum is in attendance. The proxies are ordered to be filed with the Secretary of the meeting. I direct the Secretary to file the oath with the minutes of the meeting. Before we begin with the formal business of the meeting, would the Secretary please take a moment to review the procedures that will be followed during today's meeting? We have four items of business on today's agenda. Detailed information concerning these items is contained in the proxy statement, which was furnished to stockholders of record in connection with this meeting. After the presentation of all the agenda items, the polls will be open and the meeting chair will open the floor for questions and comments. You must be logged in to the meeting website using your 16-digit control number to submit questions and comments, as well as to vote at the meeting. Questions and comments can be submitted in the field provided on the virtual meeting website. To ensure that the business of the meeting proceeds in an orderly fashion, questions and comments at this time should be limited to the agenda items being considered. Please keep in mind there will be opportunities for general questions and comments about our company later in the proceedings. To allow us to answer questions from as many stockholders as possible in the allotted time, we ask you to limit yourself to questions or comments. Questions submitted by multiple stockholders on the same topic or that are otherwise related may be grouped, summarized, and answered together. Please include your name and affiliation, if any, and state whether you are a T1 stockholder or a proxy for a stockholder when submitting a question or comment. Please know that this meeting is being recorded. However, no one attending via the webcast is permitted to use any audio recording device. Additional rules of conduct and procedures are posted on the virtual meeting website. After the polls close, the formal portion of the meeting will conclude. At that time, we will take general questions and comments. We will now proceed with the formal business of the meeting. There are four items of business on today's agenda. The first proposal is the election of eight directors named in our proxy statement to serve for a one-year term of office expiring at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. The Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has nominated Dan Barcelo, Richard Anderson, Robert Hammond, Todd Kantor, David Manners, Peter Matrai, Daniel Steingart, and Jessica Wirth Strine to serve as directors. The Secretary of the meeting has advised me that under T1's bylaws, the only persons who have been properly nominated are those I have just named. Accordingly, the nominations for directors are closed. The second proposal is the ratification of the appointment of KPMG as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31st, 2026. The Board of Directors has recommended a vote in favor of this proposal. The third proposal is an advisory vote on the compensation of the company's named executive officers as disclosed in our proxy statement, also known as the Say on Pay proposal. The Board of Directors has recommended a vote in favor of this proposal. The fourth proposal is an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the company to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the company from 500 million to 1 billion shares. The Board of Directors has recommended a vote in favor of this proposal. We will now proceed to the voting on the agenda items, as well as to the question and comment period relating to the agenda items. I want to emphasize that if you have previously voted by proxy and do not wish to change your vote, you do not need to vote again on the virtual meeting website. Voting on the website revokes your prior proxy. If any stockholder has not already voted or wants to change his or her vote, please do so prior to the closing of the polls. I declare the polls open. Does any stockholder have a question or comment relating to any of these agenda items? There are no questions relating to the agenda item. I will be closing the polls momentarily. If any stockholder has not already voted or wants to change his or her vote, please do so at this time. I will pause briefly to allow any last votes to be submitted. I now declare the polls closed. Would the secretary please provide the preliminary voting results on the proposals? Based on the preliminary count of the inspector of election, one, stockholders have elected each of the eight director nominees named in the proxy statement. Two, stockholders have ratified the appointment of KPMG LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31st, 2026. Three, stockholders have approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the company's named executive officers. four, stockholders have approved the amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the company, increasing the number of authorized share of common stock of the company from 500 million shares to 1 billion shares. The final vote results will be disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. That concludes the formal portion of the meeting. We would now like to address stockholder questions and comments. As a reminder, questions and comments can be typed into the appropriate field on the virtual meeting website by those stockholders who have logged in using their 16-digit control number. Please include your name and affiliation and whether you are a stockholder or proxy holder. We also remind you that we ask, as a courtesy to other stockholders present, that you be concise and limit yourself to two questions or comments. Again, similar or related questions may be combined and answered together. Thank you, Dan. We have not received any stockholder questions or comments. Okay. Thank you, Evan. That concludes the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of T1 Energy. Thank you for attending and for your continued interest in our company. Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes today's meeting. Thank you all for joining. You may now disconnect.
