The first item of business is the proposal to approve the issuance of Rubicon Project common stock par value $0.00001 per share to Telaria stockholders in connection with the merger contemplated by the agreement and plan of merger dated as of December 19, 2019, by and among the Rubicon Project, Inc., Madison Merger Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Rubicon Project, Inc. and Telaria, Inc., which we'll refer to as the Merger Agreement from hereon. The second item of business is the proposal to vote to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies to vote to approve the share issuance proposal.
