Thank you, David.

A list of the company's stockholders of record on April 6, 2021, is available for inspection by any stockholder during the annual meeting at our virtual meeting website. In addition, Mr. Garden has informed me that at least the majority of the company's issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote are represented in person or by proxy at today's meeting. Since the majority of the company's shares is represented here today, a quorum is present.

The Board recommends a vote for the election of each of the 11 directors; for the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm; and for our executive compensation. Any stockholder participating online may vote your shares during the annual meeting up until the closing of the polls on our virtual meeting website. I'll now allow time for stockholders to vote online. [Voting]
