I'm pleased to introduce the current members of our Board of Directors. Dick Sanquini, Chairman of the Board; Amy Bunszel; Scott Gibson; Daniel Heneghan; David Tupman; and Todd DeBonis, who is also our CEO. I would also like to introduce Greg Zafiris, Pixelworks' General Counsel; Leah Grant, who will be serving as inspector of elections; and Ryan Teed, partner from Armanino LLP. The agenda for this meeting will be as follows: election of directors, approval of amendment to the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, advisory votes on executive compensation, ratification of the appointments of Armanino LLP as Pixelworks' independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year, vote count, formal meeting adjournments, question-and-answer period. Shareholders who have questions with regard to the proposals will be given an opportunity to ask their questions after all of the proposals have been presented. We ask that you save all other questions until the question-and-answer period, which will be held after the meeting. Notice of this meeting was properly mailed on April 15, 2021, to the shareholders of record at March 19, 2021. Broadridge has been appointed by the Board of Directors as inspector of elections. They will determine the number of votes represented here in person or by proxy, the validity of proxies, the existence of a quorum and the number of votes cast on all matters. The inspector of elections has advised me that we have a quorum. I, therefore, declare this annual meeting lawfully convened, and we'll proceed to the first proposal. Proposal #1, election of directors. The nominees for election to the Board of Directors are as follows: Todd DeBonis, Amy Bunszel, Scott Gibson, Daniel Heneghan, Richard Sanquini and David Tupman. Our bylaws require nominations by shareholders to have been received prior to the date of this meeting. No such nominations were received. Proposal #2 is to approve an amendment to the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. The proxy statement contains detailed information on this proposal. Proposal #3 is an advisory vote on executive compensation. The proxy statement contains detailed information on the proposal. And finally, proposal #4 is to ratify the appointment of Armanino LLP as Pixelworks' independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year. Does any shareholder have any questions about these proposals? Hearing none, we will move to voting. We did not receive notice from any shareholders of their intent to attend the meeting and vote telephonically during the meeting. So the polls are now closed. I now recognize Leah Grant, our inspector of elections, who will present the preliminary voting results.

Thank you. The preliminary results of voting are as follows. For Proposal 1, the election of 6 directors, each nominee received more than 74% of the votes cast. For Proposal 2, more than 89% of votes were cast in favor of the approval of the amended and restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. For Proposal 3, more than 91% of votes were cast in favor of the advisory vote to approve the company's executive compensation. And lastly, for Proposal 4, 99% of the votes were cast in favor of the ratification of the company's independent registered public accounting firm.

Thank you, Leah. I, therefore, declare that the Board of Directors' nominees for election as directors. Todd DeBonis, Amy Bunszel, Scott Gibson, Dan Heneghan, Richard Sanquini and David Tupman have been duly elected. And Proposals #2, 3 and 4 have been duly approved. This completes the formal business to come before this annual meeting. There being no further formal business, this annual meeting now stands adjourned. If anyone has any questions for the company, please speak now. Hearing none, this concludes today's meeting. Thank you.
