As stated in our proxy statement, the board recommends a vote for each of these nominees. A nominee will be elected to the board of directors if the votes cast for the nominee exceed the votes cast against the nominee's election. However, in an uncontested election such as this one, if an incumbent director does not receive a majority of votes cast for his or her election, the director is required by the company's director resignation policy to submit his or her resignation to the board of directors for consideration by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The committee will consider the tendered resignation and make a recommendation to the board of whether to accept or reject the resignation. The board will take action within 60 days of receipt of the committee's recommendation and will publicly disclose its decision. I will now pause to consider questions submitted regarding the director nominees. There are no questions submitted. Thank you. The company has not received timely notice of any other nominations by a stockholder as required under our bylaws. I declare the nominations closed. If anyone is voting through the meeting website, please submit your vote now on item number one. After voting has been completed on all matters on the agenda, the votes for each item will be counted. The second item of business on the agenda is the ratification of EY as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 25th, 2021. As stated in our proxy statement, the Board recommends a vote for such ratification. I will now pause to address questions submitted regarding the ratification of EY as the company's independent registered public accounting firm. No questions have been submitted. Thank you. There being no questions on the proposal, the discussion is closed. If anyone is voting through the meeting website, please vote now on item number two. The next item on the agenda is a proposal for a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of the named executive officers of the company. As stated in our proxy statement, the board recommends a vote for such proposal. I will now pause to address any questions submitted regarding the advisory non-binding vote on the compensation of the company's executive officers. No questions have been submitted. There being no questions on this proposal, the discussion is closed. If anyone is voting through the meeting website, please vote now on item three. The next item of business is a vote on the stockholder proposal contained in the proxy statement titled Transition to Public Benefit Corporation. At this time, Sara Murphy of The Shareholder Commons, as the designated representative of the proponent who submitted the proposal set forth in the proxy, will have an opportunity to make a brief statement regarding the proposal. If there are technical difficulties, Ms. Murphy has authorized our corporate secretary to present the proposal and associated resolution. Operator, would you please open the line for Sara Murphy? Ms. Murphy's line is now open. Hello. Ms. Murphy, the floor is yours. Thank you. Shareholders request that our board take the necessary steps to convert Tractor Supply to a public benefit corporation, given its adoption of the Business Roundtable statement on the purpose of a corporation, which commits Tractor Supply to deliver value for all stakeholders. Tractor Supply is a conventional Delaware corporation, our directors' fiduciary duties emphasize the company and its shareholders, but not stakeholders. Legally, directors may consider stakeholder interests only if any decisions made with respect to such stakeholders are in the best interest of the corporation and its stockholders. That contradicts the commitment our company made in the statement. Indeed, employees are stakeholders, yet our CEO makes 654 x more than our median paid employee, and our lowest paid employees don't even earn a living wage. In contrast, directors of a public benefit corporation must balance the interests of shareholders, stakeholders, and a specified benefit, giving legal status to the statement's otherwise empty promise. A recent study determined that listed companies create annual social and environmental costs of $2.2 trillion. These costs have many sources, including pollution, climate change, and employee stress. That matters to Tractor Supply shareholders, the majority of whom are beneficial owners with broadly diversified interests. Such shareholders and beneficial owners are unalterably harmed when companies follow Delaware's shareholder primacy model and impose costs on the economy that lower GDP, which reduces equity value. While Tractor Supply may profit by ignoring costs it externalizes, diversified shareholders will ultimately pay these costs. As a public benefit corporation, Tractor Supply could prioritize reducing these costs. Our board understands this. It says as much in its opposition statement to this proposal. Shareholders are entitled to vote on a change that would serve their interests and ensure the commitment made to stakeholders is authentic and lasting. At The Shareholder Commons, we have deep experience in benefit corporation law, and we would be happy to help the board to navigate Tractor Supply's conversion. Please vote for item four. Ms. Jamison, the line is now back to you. Thank you, Ms. Murphy. As stated in the proxy statement, our board has considered this proposal and recommends a vote against the stockholder proposal. I will now pause so that we may address questions submitted regarding the vote on the shareholder proposal. As this matter relates to the legal corporate form of the corporation, Noni Ellison, our Senior Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary, may address any questions on this proposal. No questions have been submitted. There being no questions on the proposal, the discussion is closed. If anyone is voting through the meeting website, please now vote on item number four. This concludes the voting on the item set forth in the proxy statement. I will pause briefly to allow stockholders to submit any final votes. I now declare that the polls to be officially closed for all matters. The time is 10:16 A.M. The secretary has presented the preliminary inspector of election report to me, which is as follows. Number one, then to serve until the 2022 annual meeting or until their success The appointment of EY as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the 2021 fiscal year has been ratified. Number three, the advisory vote to approve our executive compensation has been approved. Number four, the stockholder proposal contained in the proxy statement has been rejected. At this time, does the representative from EY, our auditor, desire to make a statement? No, no questions have been submitted. Thank you. The formal business portion of this meeting is now adjourned. We will file a Form 8-K announcing the final results of the meeting after we receive the final inspector of election report and in accordance with the timeframe required under the SEC rules. Hal Lawton will now provide an update on the company's business. Thank you, Cindy. I'm honored to share with you more about Tractor Supply and highlights of our 2020 results. It's an honor to talk about Tractor Supply. It's a very special company with a clear purpose. Before we get started, please note that any forward-looking statements that we make this morning are subject to risk and uncertainties, the most important of which are described in our SEC filings. I'd like to start this morning with a few high-level facts about Tractor Supply. We're the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the U.S. We serve Life Out Here. We are an integral part of our customers' lives. In 2020, we ranked number 380 in the Fortune 500. At the end of last year, we employed over 42,000 team members across the U.S. in 1,923 Tractor Supply stores and 182 Petsense stores. In 2020, we hired more than 10,000 net new team members. As an essential needs-based retailer, we equip a way of life, a way of life that we respect, love, and often live ourselves. Our long-term success is driven by being differentiated from our competition. We have a very special culture. We serve a unique customer and lifestyle. We have a strong brand and business model, and we have a strong foundation for growth. We're investing in the business and committed to growth. We are uniquely positioned to become a more integral part of our customers' lives, and we have proven that over the past year. Our culture is a true competitive advantage. Our mission is to work hard, have fun, and make money. This mission is supported by 10 values. Combined, they serve as the underpinning of our culture and the guiding principles for how we conduct our business. We have relied on these heavily over the past unprecedented year. ESG is important to our team members, our customers, the communities we call home, and our investors. In 2018, we announced our goal to reduce carbon emissions from our facilities by 25% by 2025. This past December, we announced that we surpassed that goal five years early. In 2020, we also reinforced our commitment to ESG by improving our reporting and transparency, particularly through the issuance of two inaugural reports, our ESG Tear Sheet and our Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. Just a couple of weeks ago, we updated our ESG Tear Sheet and plan to continue to do so. We are also a strong proponent of diversity, equality, and inclusion in our workforce, with 49% of our team members being female. This past year, we started four new team member engagement groups, and we implemented many activities and initiatives to train, engage, measure, and demonstrate internal and external commitment to DE&I. Also notably in 2020, Tractor Supply was designated as a great place to work. Throughout the last year, our utmost priority has been the health, safety, and wellbeing of our team members and customers. As an essential needs-based retailer, we executed and continue to execute a number of actions that allow us to protect our team members and better serve our customers during this time of crisis. From adding a dedicated greeter at every store, providing PPE, paying appreciation bonuses, providing wage increases permanent, extending paid sick leave, to dozens of other things, we focus on taking care of our team members, so in turn, they can take care of our customers. This has always been a hallmark of our mission and values. Additionally, we remain committed to supporting the communities we call home. Last year, we donated $12 million to charitable giving, including a $4 million initial funding for our Tractor Supply Company Foundation. Notably, we joined the American Connection Project Broadband Coalition to help bring high-speed internet infrastructure to rural communities. To date, we've provided free Wi-Fi access at more than 1,400 store locations across the country and have committed $1 million in donations to the Broadband Coalition. Tractor Supply has continued to deliver a strong record of results, and we have an exciting future ahead of us. With sales in excess of $10 billion in 2020, our compounded growth rate for total sales is over 11.5%. We are winning with our customers. Net new customers were up + 14% YoY last year, with 3.3 million new customers. Our reengaged customers were up 42% YoY, with 2 million reengaged new customers last quarter. We are growing share with our existing customers. We have a maniacal focus on legendary customer service in our stores to keep these customers coming back to Tractor Supply. We have constantly delivered strong results over the last decade. We have a track record of positive performance in same-store sales growth. We've generated strong free cash flow while maintaining discipline on the use of financial leverage. We have a strong and vibrant business that generates strong free cash flow. We're committed to investing in the business for growth, and we have a proven track record for returning cash to shareholders through both dividends and stock repurchases. We've had 11 consecutive years of increasing our quarterly dividends since 2010. We increased our dividend by 30% in February, and just this morning, we announced our quarterly cash dividend was approved by our board of directors. We rolled out our Life Out Here strategy in October of 2020. With our strong performance in 2020 and the current momentum in our business, the team at Tractor Supply is excited about investing in the Life Out Here strategy and accelerating our performance. There are five pillars to the Life Out Here strategy. The first is delivering legendary customer service. The second is advancing our one Tractor capabilities. The third is operating the Tractor Way. The fourth is going the country mile for our team. The last is generating healthy shareholder returns. Our clear focus enables us to be the innovative leader in our channel and emerge from the pandemic stronger and more scaled than before. To wrap up, Tractor Supply has a resilient business model with a differentiated, loyal, and growing customer base. We're moving at a fast pace. With our Life Out Here strategy, we continue to evolve to remain a strong, relevant company into the future. Now is the time for us to invest as we look to drive sustainable growth and create long-term value for our shareholders. Thank you for your time. We will now take any questions from shareholders.
