The 1-year terms will expire at our annual meeting in the year 2027 or upon the election and qualification of their successors. Regarding the motion to ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the accountants for 2026, the scrutineer reports that a majority of the shares voted were for the ratification.

Regarding the advisory vote on our named executive officers' compensation, the scrutineer reports that a majority of the shares voted against approval. The preliminary tally shows 99,891,971 shares voted for approving compensation and 129,290,109 shares were against. Accordingly, the compensation of our executives has not been approved on an advisory basis. Regarding the motion to amend the bylaws of the company to address the quorum requirements for an adjourned meeting of the shareholders, the scrutineer reports that a majority of the shares voted for approval. The preliminary tally shows 123,410,315 shares voted for amending the bylaws and 105,771,772 shares were against. Accordingly, the motion to amend the bylaws of the company has been approved.

Our accountants and legal counsel are now available to answer questions. After adjournment of the formal portion of the meeting, there will be a question-and-answer period when you may ask questions of our officers. Do we have any questions for our accountants or counsel? I don't see any in the Q&A list. I'll wait a moment or so in case somebody wants to stick one in there. Apparently, there are not. So if there is no further business to come before the meeting, I would accept the motion for adjournment.

Zomedica cautions that these statements are subject to numerous important risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors disclosed in the company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC. We undertake no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this meeting. Let me check the question list. I don't see any questions on the question list. I'll wait a moment to see if there are any that pop up. Apparently, there are none. I would just remind our shareholders that we hold webinars monthly on the fourth Friday of each month, at which management does engage in a question-and-answer period, more than welcome to join us. The next one is on the 26th of this month. But as there are no further questions for this meeting, the question-and-answer session is now concluded. Thank you for joining us for the meeting and your interest in Zomedica.
