Thank you. Hello, everyone. I am Dick Lynch, Chair of the BlackBerry Limited Board of Directors. On behalf of the Board and management, it's my pleasure to welcome you to the company's annual meeting. I will serve as Chair of today's meeting. As we have done in recent years, we are hosting our meeting in a virtual-only format through a live audio webcast. We have found that the virtual format is more inclusive and many more shareholders have been able to join us virtually than previously at our in-person meetings. Even though the meeting is in virtual format, procedures have been implemented to ensure that shareholders and proxy holders, regardless of their location will be able to participate in this meeting and engage with us.

Registered shareholders and valid proxy holders who are participating online will be able to listen to the meeting, submit questions and vote in real time. Nonregistered beneficial shareholders will also be able to submit questions through the online meeting platform. The Secretary of the meeting will cover the procedures for all of this in just a moment. Phil Kurtz, the Chief Legal Officer of the company, will act as Secretary of the meeting. Phil
