Further, I would like to introduce the company's directors who are present virtually at this meeting. Will Porteous, Jim Tolonen, Susan M. Gordon, Magid Abraham, Tim Harvey, and David DiDomenico. I would also like to introduce the corporate officers who are present virtually at this meeting, Henry Dubois and Chris Lin. We have asked Chris Lin, our General Counsel, Chief Administrative Officer, and Corporate Secretary, to act as secretary and record the minutes of this meeting. Finally, I would like to introduce Reid Mountjoy from our auditors, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and Mark Bass, our legal counsel from Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, who are present virtually at this meeting. Also present virtually is Lou Larson of L-Squared Elections, who will serve as the Inspector of Election for this meeting. This annual meeting is being held in accordance with the company's bylaws and Delaware law.
During the formal meeting, we will address the matters described in the company's proxy statement, dated July 23, 2026. When we complete the balloting, we will announce the preliminary results of the vote, and then we will adjourn the formal meeting. We remind you that the rules of conduct for this meeting are available to review on the website used to access this meeting, and we intend to follow these rules during the meeting. I will now turn the meeting over to Chris Lin, who will conduct the formal part of the meeting.
I have proof by affidavit that notice of this meeting has been duly given and that a notice of internet availability of proxy materials relating to the 2026 annual meeting was mailed on or about July 23, 2026, to all stockholders of record on July 16, 2026, the record date for this annual meeting. We have at this meeting a list of the stockholders as of that date. The affidavit of mailing, together with copies of the notice of annual meeting of stockholders proxy statement and proxy, will be filed with the minutes of this meeting. The Inspector of Election has signed the Oath of the Inspector of Election, which will be filed with the minutes of this meeting.
The Inspector of Election has advised me that we have present in person at the virtual meeting and by proxy a sufficient number of shares to constitute a quorum on all matters being presented at the meeting. The meeting is duly constituted. For the purposes of this annual meeting, we will vote by proxy and virtually via the internet today. For all proposals to be voted on at this annual meeting, each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record at the close of business on the record date. If you have turned in a proxy and do not intend to change your vote, then it is not necessary that you vote at this virtual meeting because we will count your proxy.
Those of you who did not turn in a proxy or who wish to change your vote may do so by clicking the Vote Here button on the website used to access this meeting and following the instructions. The votes cast today will be counted in the final tally along with the proxies previously received. It is now 1:04 P.M. on September 10th, 2026, and the polls for each matter to be voted on at this meeting are now open. I will pause after the description of each proposal to address any questions. The first order of business is the election of the Class II directors. This item is discussed on page 23 of the proxy statement. The company's board of directors presently has seven members and is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms.
The board currently consists of two Class I directors, three Class II directors, and two Class III directors. Today, we are electing three Class II directors. As indicated in the company's proxy statement, our nominating and corporate governance committee has recommended, and our board of directors has approved Susan Gordon, Timothy Harvey, and William Porteous. If elected at today's meetings, each of Ms. Gordon, Mr. Harvey, and Mr. Porteous will hold office until the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her respective successor is elected and qualified. Each of these nominees are currently serving as directors of the company, and our board of directors recommends a vote for the election of each of these nominees. The company's bylaws require that a stockholder wishing to nominate a director candidate provide advance notice to the company of the stockholder's intent. No such notice was received.
Accordingly, I declare the nominations for directors closed. The second order of business is the ratification of the appointment by the audit committee of our board of directors of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year, which will end on December 31st, 2026. This item is discussed on pages 24 and 25 of the proxy statement. The audit committee of our board of directors selects the company's independent registered public accounting firm annually. The audit committee has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2026. The audit committee is asking the stockholders for ratification of their appointment. Stockholder ratification is not required by the company's bylaws or other applicable legal requirements.
However, the audit committee is submitting the appointment to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance. Our board of directors recommends a vote for the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP. Reid Mountjoy is present from Deloitte & Touche LLP and is available to answer any appropriate questions that you may have at this time. The third order of business is the advisory vote on the approval of compensation of our named executive officers, more commonly known as the Say on Pay proposal. This item is discussed on page 27 of the proxy statement. Our board of directors recommends a vote for the approval on an advisory basis of the compensation of our named executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2025, as disclosed in the proxy statement.
The final item of business is to transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting. Since no other business was proposed, we have no further items of business for the meeting. Those of you voting virtually via the internet, please submit your ballot indicating the way you wish to vote. We will now briefly pause to enable those who are voting virtually to finish voting. It is now 1:10 P.M. on September 10th, 2026, and the polls for each matter to be voted on at this annual meeting are now closed. No additional proxies, votes, changes, or revocations will be accepted. The Inspector of Election will now tabulate the proxies and votes submitted virtually via the internet.
The Inspector of Election has informed me that based on a preliminary report of the proxies and votes, which we have received, one, Susan Gordon, Timothy Harvey, and William Porteous have been elected as Class II directors of BlackSky. Two, the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, has been ratified. Three, the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed on the proxy statement, has been approved on an advisory basis. These are the preliminary results of voting. A definitive report of the results of the votes on such proposals will be filed with the minutes of this meeting. The final results will also be reported in our filings with the SEC. There being no further business to come before this meeting, the meeting is adjourned. Thank you for your attendance.
This brings the formal business part of the meeting to an end. I would now like to turn the meeting back over to BlackSky CEO, Brian O'Toole.
On behalf of BlackSky, our executive leadership team, employees, and board of directors, I want to thank you for joining us today and for your continued support. Thank you for attending. The conference has now concluded.
Thank you for attending today's presentation.
