My name is Melissa and I will be your conference operator today. During today's call, participants are in a listen-only mode. We will open the call to questions and answers after the presentation and instructions will follow at that time. If anyone should need operator assistance during the call, please press star zero on your telephone keypad. And I'll now pass the call over to your host, Mike Smith, Vice President of Treasury, Corporate Development, and Investor Relations at Vectris. Please go ahead, sir.

Thank you. Good morning, everyone. We appreciate all of you joining us on short notice to discuss the proposed combination of Vectris and Vertex. On today's call, you will hear from Chuck Probe, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vectris, and Susan Lynch, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Also joining us is Ed Boyington, Vertex's president and CEO. In addition to the press release on this transaction, we also wanted to draw your attention to the recently issued earnings release. Slides for today's presentation are available on our investor relations website at investors.vectrus.com. Please turn to slide two. During this call, we may make various forward-looking statements that concern the company's business and financial strategies. Our actual results may differ materially from such statements. We advise you to read the cautionary notes regarding forward-looking statements in our earnings release and related presentation, as well as the risk factors in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC. Today's presentation also includes certain non-GAAP measurements that we think may be meaningful to investors. Reconciliation of these measurements is provided in our presentation materials, press release, and form thank you in accordance with SEC rules. At this time, I would like to turn the call over to Chuck Pro.

Thank you, Mike, and good morning. I would like to thank everyone for joining us today. We are excited to be speaking to you about our agreement to combine with Vertex in an all-stock merger, creating a diversified global leader in mission-essential solutions across the converged environment. Today's announcement represents an important step in the Vectris journey. Please turn to slide three. Before we go into the strategic and financial benefits of this combination, I'd like to note that one of the important attributes of this combination is is a very strong cultural alignment and fit of both companies. It has been a pleasure getting to know and work with the Vertex team throughout this process. It became evident very early on that our cultures, vision, values, and mission were highly complimentary and would result in a significant opportunity for our employees. In particular, I'd like to thank Ed Boyington, CEO of Vertex, for his leadership as we worked on bringing our companies together. Ed is here with us today, and I'd like to turn it over to him for some opening remarks.
