Good morning. My name is John Riccitiello. I am the President, Chief Executive Officer of Unity, and the Executive Chairman of our Board of Directors. Today, I will serve as Chair of this 2021 stockholders meeting. Before I call the meeting to order, I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the other members of the Board and the management team who are present today. In addition to myself, the other members of the Board present today are Roelof Botha, Mary Schmidt Campbell, Egon Durban, Robynne Sisco, Barry Schuler, and Robynne Sisco. The other Officers of the company present today are Ruth Ann Keene, Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer, and General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary, and Luis Felipe Visoso, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. I would like to also introduce you to Ryan Outland and Yi Wang of Ernst & Young, the company's auditors, who are available to respond to appropriate questions. With that, the meeting has now officially come to order. Ruth Ann Keene and I will guide you through this formal business of the meeting as we set forth in your notice of annual meeting and proxy statement. We are very pleased to be able to use this virtual meeting format as it's accessible to all of our stockholders, regardless of their physical location. If you are a stockholder, you can listen to the meeting, submit questions, vote your shares online to the closing of the polls. Within the virtual meeting platform, you will find a copy of the rules of conduct and procedures for the annual meeting. To conduct an orderly meeting, we ask you follow these rules. Following the formal portion of the meeting, we will respond to stockholder questions submitted online. Ruth Ann, can you please proceed with the first matter of business and please report at this time with respect to the mailing of the notice of the meeting and the stockholder list? I have at this meeting a complete list of the stockholders of record of the company's common stock on April 20th, 2021, the record date for this meeting. I also have an affidavit certifying that commencing on April 28th, 2021, a notice of annual meeting of stockholders of the company was deposited in United States mail or via email to all stockholders of record by the close of business on May 7th, 2021. At this time, I'd like to introduce Jan Costello, who's been appointed to act as Inspector of Election at this meeting. She has taken and subscribed to the customary oath of office to execute her duties with strict impartiality. We will follow this oath with the records of the meeting. Jan Costello's 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. Ruth Ann, will you please report at this time with respect to the existence of a quorum? I've been informed by the Inspector of Election that proxies have been received for 221,319,839 of the 279,328,287 shares of common stock outstanding on the record date, which represents approximately 79% of the total number of outstanding shares. This constitutes 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. Ruth Ann, can you please open the polls for voting and review the matters properly brought before this meeting? The time is now 10:04 A.M., and the polls are now open for voting on all matters to be presented. Stockholders attending the meeting virtually may vote their shares in real time until the polls are closed. If you have already submitted a proxy to vote your shares, you do not need to submit one again. There are two proposals to be considered by the stockholders at this meeting, which we will review. We will then answer any questions from stockholders on the proposals before reviewing the voting procedures. The polls will then be closed to voting. The first item of business is the election of three Class I directors to serve until the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected. The nominees for director are Roelof Botha, David Helgason, and John Riccitiello. The board is recommending the election of each of these directors, and our proxy statement provides additional information regarding our board and its recommendations. The second item of business today is the ratification of the selection by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Ernst & Young as the independent registered public accounting firm of the company for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2021. The board is recommending the ratification of the selection of the independent registered accounting firm, and our proxy statement provides additional information regarding the board's recommendation. This was the final proposal for today's meeting. We welcome questions from stockholders on the proposals at this time. It seems there are no questions. Ruth Ann will now describe the voting procedures. Voting today is by proxy and electronic ballot. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. Any stockholder who has not voted or who wishes to change his or her vote may do so by clicking on the Vote button in the webcast portal and following the instructions provided. Stockholders who have submitted proxies or have previously voted on the internet or by phone and who do not wish to change their vote do not need to take any further action. Their votes will be counted automatically. It is now 10:07 A.M. Oops. Let's wait one second. It is now 10:08 A.M., and the polls are closed for voting. May we have the preliminary results of the voting? The preliminary report of the Inspector of Election covering the proposals presented in the meeting is as follows. The proposal to elect Roelof Botha, David Helgason, and John Riccitiello as Class I directors of the company is carried. The selection of Ernst & Young as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2021 is ratified. We expect to report our final voting reports on a current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days after the end of this meeting. Thank you, Ruth Ann. With no further business, I hereby adjourn today's meeting.
