We hope that this virtual meeting will maximize the participation of stockholders regardless of their location. Thank you very much to those who are participating in our meeting today. It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to this meeting. Now I would like to make some introductions of members of the executive team, and then I will describe the format of this meeting. The executive team is a small part of a much broader and very talented team moving Quantum-Si forward every day. Our people are why Quantum-Si has made it so far so quickly and will be responsible for helping us to continue to fulfill our mission. I would like to introduce Jeff Keyes, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer; John Vieceli, our Chief Product Officer; Todd Rearick, our Chief Technology Officer; Lindsay Thompson, our Chief Human Resource Officer; and Christian Lapointe, our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. Part of the team are the outside professionals who support us. Los Monkabafrom PricewaterhouseCoopers, our independent auditors, is in attendance and Larry Nishna from DLA Piper, our external legal counsel, is also here. In terms of the format of the meeting, Jeff and Christian will guide us through the formal part of the meeting. I have appointed Jeff to serve as Inspector of Elections at this meeting. and in that capacity, he will report on the results of the voting as tabulated by Broadridge Financial Solutions. Each of us look forward to having the chance to answer any questions you may have. I will now turn the formal part of the meeting over to Jeff and Christian.

Thank you, Jeff. As Jeff stated, we will proceed with the formal business of the meeting as set forth in the proxy materials, including the notice of this meeting. The proxy materials, including the notice of this meeting was mailed on April 1, 2026, to the stockholders of record as of March 20, 2026. The agenda for the meeting as indicated in the notice and accompanying documents sent to you is to vote on the following proposals: first, to elect 10 directors to serve 1 year terms expiring in 2027. Second, to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, as Quantum-Si's independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year. And third, to approve by nonbinding advisory vote, the compensation of our named executive officers. We will now consider and call to a vote each proposal in the same order. The proposals are described in detail in our proxy statement. The polls for each matter are open for voting and will remain open until we announce that the polls are closed, which will occur after we have read the description of all the proposals to be voted on at this meeting or such earlier time as may be announced. No ballots or proxies or revocations thereof or changes thereto will be accepted after the polls are closed. The inspector of elections will announce the results of the voting at the end of the formal part of this meeting. Before we address the proposals to be voted on today, we would like to point out that most stockholders have already cast their votes by completing proxy cards or by voting over the Internet. These votes have been tabulated by Broadridge Financial Solutions. We would now like to ascertain from the Inspector of Elections if a quorum is present for this meeting.

The count of shares present immediately prior to the commencement of the meeting included indicated that 124,647,066 shares of the company's common stock are present or represented by proxy including 104,709,566 shares of the company's Class A common stock, 19,937,500 shares of the company's Class B common stock with each share of Class A common stock entitled to 1 vote and each share of Class B common stock entitled to 20 votes. This is approximately 84.59% of the outstanding total voting power of the shares of common stock of the company as of the record date. We, therefore, have a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock represented at this meeting or through representation by proxy.

Accordingly, all nominations are closed. The polls will be open for the next few minutes to vote on the election of directors as well as the next matters. After voting has been completed on all matters on the agenda, the votes will be counted. The second item on today's agenda is the ratification of the appointment by the Board of Directors of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Quantum-Si's independent auditors for the current fiscal year. Any stockholder who has already voted and does not want to change their vote, need not take any further action.
