Okay, great. Thanks -- Thank you, everybody. We're going to get started with our next session. Next up, I would like to welcome Ed Tilly, Chairman, President CEO of Cboe; as well as Brian Schell, the company's CFO. Over the last few years, Cboe has been very busy integrating Bats with the recent migration onto a single trading platform marking sort of the final big step in the combination of the 2 organizations. In addition to firm continuing to focus on organic growth initiatives across its complex and further potential acquisitions highlighted by today's announcements -- today's announcement to acquire EuroCCP. So we look forward to getting an update from Brian and Ed on the future of Cboe, and really what this deal means to you guys. So thank you for being here, obviously, very timely.
