Thanks, Elizabeth. We're excited to be hosting our virtual meeting, which allows us to reach a greater number of stockholders. After the formal part of our meeting, we will be available for questions if you may have. [Operator Instructions] I have a complete list of the stockholders of record of the company's Class A and Class B common stock on October 18, 2021, the record date for this meeting. I also have an affidavit certifying that commencing on November 3, 2021, the notice of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders was mailed to all stockholders of record at the close of business on October 18, 2021. At this time, I'd like to introduce Kathy Wheaton, who has been appointed to act as Inspector of Election at this meeting. She has taken and subscribed the customary oath of office to execute her duties with strict impartiality. We will file this oath with the records of this meeting. Kathy's function is to decide upon the qualifications of voters, accept their votes and when balloting on all matters is completed to tally the final votes. I have been informed by the Inspector of Election that proxies have been received for 324,009,177 votes of the 340,372,362 votes of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding on the record date, which represents approximately 95% of the total number of outstanding votes.
