Good morning. I'm Jason Katz, Paltalk's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and I will act as Chairman of this meeting. The Annual Meeting of Paltalk, Inc. is called to order, and the polls are officially open. At this time, I would also like to introduce Kara Jenny, our Chief Financial Officer; Greg Samuel and Mike Hayden from Haynes and Boon LLP, our Corporate Counsel; and Richard Cook and Robert Weissman from Marcum LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm. Before we turn to the business of the meeting, I would like to make a few opening remarks. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we executed key components of our initiatives. We added to our offering of video chat products with the asset acquisition of ManyCam, our live streaming software and virtual camera that allows users to deliver professional live videos on streaming platforms, video conferencing apps and distance learning tools. We have made progress in optimizing the ManyCam integration, which we expect to lead to revenue growth. We also launched our interactive mobile Backgammon and added game lobbies for our Backgammon and Chess games, and we anticipate these offerings will lead to an increase in usage and engagement. We also engaged Roth Capital Partners, LLC, as our financial adviser and investment banker to explore strategic initiatives focused on buy-side acquisitions. We continue to defend our intellectual property. We believe this positions us to grow our business and execute on our strategic objectives. I want to thank all those in attendance for their interest in our business and remind you that if you have not yet voted your shares, you can do so at this time by clicking the proxy voting site link on the left side of your screen. Thank you again for attending this Annual Meeting of Stockholders. I will now turn to the official business of the meeting. Following the meeting's conclusion, we will hold a short question-and-answer session to respond to any questions that you may have. Declaration of quorum. Our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, will act as inspector of election at this meeting. Our transfer agent has been instructed to receive, examine and tabulate the proxies to report on the voting by proxies. Our transfer agent has informed me that immediately prior to the beginning of this meeting, a majority of our outstanding shares were present by proxy. Therefore, I declare that a quorum is present for the purpose of conducting business at this meeting, and I hereby declare that the meeting is legally convened and ready to transact business. A certified report of the Inspector of Election will be attached as an exhibit to the minutes of this meeting. Collection of ballots and closing of polls. At this time, I will tabulate and announce the voting results of the meeting and would ask that all stockholders complete and submit their votes. I will pause now for a moment to allow any stockholders who have not voted the opportunity to complete the voting process. [Voting]
