Hello, welcome to the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Workiva Inc. Please note this meeting is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to turn today's meeting over to Marty Vanderploeg, Chair of the Board of Directors of the company. Mr. Vanderploeg, the floor is yours. Good morning, everybody. It is my pleasure to welcome all of you to the 2026 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of Workiva Incorporated. I am Marty Vanderploeg, Chair of the Board of Directors of Workiva. We are pleased to be holding our annual meeting in a virtual format this year. It is 8:00 A.M. Central Time, and I call the meeting to order. I would like to ask Brandon Ziegler, our Chief Legal Officer, to go over some administrative details. Thanks, Marty. Welcome to the 12th Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Workiva Inc. I am Brandon Ziegler, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal and Administrative Officer, and Corporate Secretary of the company. Before we begin, the agenda and the rules of procedure for the meeting are available through the virtual meeting platform. We will first conduct the formal business of the meeting. Following that, there will be an opportunity for questions at the end of the meeting. The principal business of today's meeting is, first, to elect three Class III directors to our board of directors to serve three-year terms expiring at the 2029 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Second, to approve on an advisory basis the compensation of our named executive officers. Third, to approve the amendment and restatement of the Workiva Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the plan. Our fourth proposal, which called for a non-binding vote on the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young as our independent registered public accounting firm, has been withdrawn by the company. As disclosed in our proxy supplement dated May 5th, 2026, this proposal is no longer being presented for a vote today. Any votes cast on this matter will not be counted. As our bylaws provide, Mr. Vanderploeg will act as chair of the meeting, and I will act as secretary of the meeting. Before we move to official business, I would like to ask Mr. Vanderploeg to introduce the other members of the Board of Directors who are participating in our virtual meeting today. Joining us today are Mike Crow, Scott Herren, Bob Herz, Julie Iskow, Astha Malik, Mark Peek, and our lead independent director, Suku Radia. In addition, a number of the company's officers are participating in the meeting today. I would also like to introduce JJ Schneider and Julie Dawkins, who represent Grant Thornton LLP, our independent registered public accountant. The Grant Thornton team will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and to respond to appropriate questions at the end of the meeting. At this time, I would like to call on Mr. Ziegler to explain our process for distributing proxy materials. As permitted under SEC rules, we sent a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to each stockholder of record as of March 31st, 2026. The Notice of Internet Availability contained instructions on how stockholders could access our proxy materials via the Internet and how stockholders could request paper copies if desired. Our stockholders have the right to vote their shares via the Internet, by telephone, by mail, or virtually at this meeting. I have a copy of an affidavit of mailing from Computershare Communication Services, our mailing agent and an affiliate of Computershare Inc., stating that the Notice of Internet Availability was mailed on April 17th, 2026, to each stockholder of record as of the record date, March 31st, 2026. This affidavit will be filed with the minutes of the meeting. Computershare Trust Company, National Association, the company's transfer agent and registrar, and an affiliate of Computershare Inc., has been appointed to act as the inspector of election for the meeting and any adjournment or postponement of this meeting. Abby Cowart, as a representative of Computershare, has signed an oath to act as inspector of election, and this oath will be filed with the minutes of the meeting. If there is any person present holding a proxy that has not yet submitted it to vote, please submit it now via the virtual meeting platform. The inspector will record the proxies at this time. The inspector has the stockholder list of the company as of March 31st, 2026, the record date for the meeting, which shows the stockholders and their respective number of shares entitled to vote at the meeting. A duplicate record is available for inspection by any stockholder upon request. This list is also available at this meeting if any stockholder wishes to examine it and will be filed with the minutes of the meeting. At this time, I would like to call on Mr. Ziegler to report on the number of shares outstanding and entitled to vote and the number of those shares represented at this meeting, either in person or by proxy. Mr. Chair, there were 52,798,288 shares of our Class A common stock and 3,569,583 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding and entitled to vote on March 31st, 2026, the record date for the meeting. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote, and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to 10 votes. At least 43,147,122 shares of our Class A common stock and at least 3,569,583 shares of our Class B common stock, or 89% of the total outstanding voting power, is represented in person or by proxy at this meeting. Since a majority in voting power of the shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at this meeting is present or represented by proxy, we have a quorum. Mr. Ziegler has advised us that we have a quorum. I declare the meeting duly and lawfully convened. The meeting is now open and ready for business. I declare the polls open to vote on the motions to be presented. If you have not turned in a proxy and instead wish to vote now, please submit your ballot via the virtual platform. Mr. Ziegler, were there any stockholder nominations or other proposals for business for this meeting properly filed with you as Secretary of the company? No, there are no such proposals filed for today's meeting. Since no stockholder nominations or proposals were properly filed in advance of this meeting, the business of this meeting is limited to three proposals on the agenda. The first item of business is the election of directors. Mike Crow, Scott Herren, and Julie Iskow are currently directors and have been nominated for re-election as Class III directors to serve three-year terms expiring at the 2029 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The board of directors recommends a vote for the election of Dr. Crow, Mr. Herren, and Ms. Iskow as Class III directors. Since no other nominations for directors have been received, I declare the nominations closed, and we will proceed with the voting.
