Thank you, and good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Rick Wagoner, and I'm the Chair of the Board of Directors of Invesco Limited. It's my pleasure on behalf of Invesco, to welcome you and to express our appreciation to you for attending the 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

As you are aware, the company is conducting this meeting virtually. This year's annual meeting, we will offer 4 proposals for our shareholders' consideration. After a brief discussion of the proposals, shareholders will be given an opportunity to ask questions regarding the proposals through the website hosting this meeting before we proceed with any online voting. We will then announce the preliminary results for each proposal and adjourn the meeting.

I would like to acknowledge Andrew Schlossberg, the company's CEO and other members of the Board of Directors who are attending this meeting. Also attending our annual meeting are members of the Invesco executive leadership team and representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Now we will proceed to the voting portion of our meeting. We have already made available to each shareholder a copy of the proxy statement for the 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and the 2025 annual report on Form 10-K, which includes the audited financial statements for the company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The audited financial statements are hereby laid
