The agenda and rules of procedure for this meeting, as well as the certified list of stockholders entitled to vote at this meeting, are available for you to access using the materials button on the virtual meeting portal. You may submit questions that are pertinent to the meeting and the company through the virtual meeting portal. We will answer questions related to the meeting prior to closing the voting, and we will answer other questions following the formal business of the meeting. Although we may not be able to answer every question, we will do our best to answer as many questions as time allows.

I would also like to introduce our other board members who are present telephonically today. Rick Taketa, Michael Keithley, Knute Kurtz, and Michael Zilis.

Finally, I would like to introduce John Paul Motley of Cooley, our outside legal counsel, and Sougata Banerjee of CBIZ CPAs, P.C., our independent auditors. Mr. Banerjee is available to answer any appropriate questions of shareholders. Now I'll ask Mike Zemetra to discuss some procedural matters and the proposals being considered at the meeting. Mike? Thanks, Ryan. Commencing on May 26th, 2026, the notice and proxy statement for this meeting and our annual report on Form 10-K were made available to all stockholders of record as of May 19th, 2026. As of May 19th, there were 92,954,401 shares of our common stock outstanding. A majority of the shares entitled to vote is necessary for a quorum at a meeting of our stockholders. From a count of the shares represented at the meeting or by proxies received by us, we have determined that a quorum is present and therefore the meeting can proceed. A certified list of stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 19th, 2026, is available on the virtual meeting portal, showing opposite each stockholder's name the number of shares held by such stockholder. Today, we will be voting on six proposals that are described in the proxy statement. I declare the polls now open.

If you want to vote during this meeting, or if you have previously voted and want to change your vote, you may do so now by clicking the voting button on the virtual meeting portal.

We will now present the proposals and answer any questions regarding the proposals, following which time the polls will close. To submit questions, please do so on the virtual meeting portal. The first item to be voted upon is the election of directors. Two directors will be elected to serve for a three-year term expiring at our annual meeting in 2029.

Your board of directors recommends a vote for this proposal. If there are any questions regarding the voting procedures or if any stockholder has a question specifically regarding these proposals, please submit your questions in the designated field in the virtual meeting portal. We will pause briefly for any questions, and I will ask Kyle Brekke, a member of our legal team, to refer the questions to Ryan and me to answer. Mike, one question has come in about the one proxy proposal for increasing share count and relative to the concern for potential further dilution. Obviously, we as management and others as also investors, are always very concerned about further dilution. That being said, the company does need to have adequate supply of authorized shares for we can entertain and continue to do further actions leveraging our equity, whether that be for new hires, whether that be for future capital raises, et cetera. Again, we do think that this is critical for us to have that capacity. Again, we are very conscious and very wary of further dilution. Again, although we are pushing and trying very hard, as we've articulated, with cutting our ongoing cost structure, driving towards profitability, at this moment, we still are losing money, and we obviously still need to have capacity to go out and raise capital and have the capacity to issue more shares. Again, we reiterate that, again, we are very conscious of further dilution and, again, we remain very aligned with shareholders in that capacity to try to do everything we can to continue to operate the business, keeping dilution in mind and being very protective against further dilution. Mike, I don't believe there was any other questions that we received relative to the proposed items that we are voting on. I believe we can continue, and there'll be another section for more general questions at the end. You can continue. Great. There being no further questions on the proposals, we will now proceed to the final vote. Please vote on the portal if you have not already done so, or if you would like to change your vote. We will pause briefly to allow stockholders to finish voting. I hereby declare that the polls for each proposal are now closed. We will now proceed to the voting tabulation for these proposals. The results of the stockholder vote are as follows. On Proposal One, to elect two members of the Board of Directors, management's nominees named in the proxy statement were elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting or by proxy. On Proposal Two, the appointment of CBIZ CPAs, P.C., as Veritone's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026, was approved by a majority of the total votes cast at the meeting or by proxy. On Proposal Three, the non-binding advisory resolution approving the compensation paid to our named executive officers was approved by a majority of the total votes cast at the meeting or by proxy. On Proposal Four, the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock was approved by a majority of the votes cast on this matter. On Proposal Five, the second amendment and restatement of the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by a majority of the total votes cast at the meeting or by proxy. On Proposal Six, the grant of a time-based RSU award and performance-based RSU award to Ryan Steelberg was approved by a majority of the total votes cast at the meeting or by proxy. Ryan. Thanks, Mike. Thanks, Mike. That concludes the formal business of the meeting. Before we adjourn, I would like to offer stockholders a final opportunity to submit any questions pertinent to the meeting. You can please enter your questions in the designated field on the virtual meeting portal. Kyle will again refer any appropriate questions to Mike and I. I will give a few minutes to aggregate any additional questions. A couple questions, which I'll frame and Mike and I can answer. Question one is about, what about our November debt that's still out there? Also, can you provide any commentary about the class action lawsuits? First, again, I won't comment on the pending litigation, but to be very clear, we believe that the claims and all the claims are baseless, without merit, and we intend to vigorously defend against these allegations. So we'll leave it there. As it relates to November debt, as we've shown over the last few years, it's been a major priority of mine and management to continue to delever the business. We have been successful in deleveraging ourself over, again, the last few years. We've exited our term debt, and we do have a stub debt left over, which obviously we are very conscious of. We remain in communication with bondholders, and it's something that we continue and do have expectations to service or restructure in the future. Again, I can't give you more details now, but again, it is very high priority for the management team. We're very obviously aware and focused on it, and obviously, we have shown the ability and competency to work through those in the future, and we will stay in communication and close ties with our creditors and bondholders. Another question that came in was, and I am going to be speaking to this in our innovation showcase meeting, which I hope everybody can join. If you don't have the link to that webcast, which will be starting at 12:00 P.M. Pacific Time later today, you can find that link on the events section of our investor website. I believe everybody will be receiving a follow-up reminder email here shortly. The question was high level about progress and timeline with Oracle. Again, we are on track with transition and moving a lot of our initial workloads over to the Oracle OCI stack. We believe that this, and continue to believe, that this is going to be a very strong and dynamic partnership for the company, not just from an infrastructure perspective, both domestically and internationally, but also in a co-selling arrangement around the world. Case in point, and again, I'll touch on this later today on the webcast presentation, but I was a keynote speaker at their annual Oracle Cloud Infrastructure sales kickoff just several weeks ago. Again, it's been a great partnership. We're on track from a technical perspective, and we look to this to be a force multiplier for the company for the years to come. I do believe that is all the questions. There being no further questions, I hereby declare Veritone's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders adjourned. Thank you for joining us today. We hope all of you can join us again later for the innovation showcase, and also I will be holding a short Q&A at the end of that presentation as well. Also, I look forward to discussing Veritone's results for the second quarter of 2026 and updating you on our business in early August. Have a good day. Thank you. This now concludes the meeting. Thank you for joining, and have a pleasant day.
