Stephanie Amaimo
Vice President of Investor Relations

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Fortis Inc. I am Stephanie Amaimo, Vice President of Investor Relations, and I'm pleased to support the facilitation of our meeting today.

Before we get started, we would like to acknowledge land on which we gather today as the ancestral homelands of diverse indigenous groups, including the Beothuk, Mi’kmaq, Innu, and Inuit. If you are joining us online, please take a moment to acknowledge the first peoples of the lands in which you call home. This is a hybrid meeting, allowing both in-person and online attendees to fully participate. If you've already voted by proxy, you do not need to vote again. If you have not already voted, registered shareholders and duly appointed proxy holders are eligible to vote during the meeting, either in person or via the online Lumi platform.

Only registered shareholders and duly appointed proxy holders may ask questions during the formal conduct of business. And if you're in person today, please proceed to the nearest microphone. If you're online, please submit your questions via the messaging tab. Motion-specific question will be addressed as each item of business is considered. General questions will follow management's remarks, and we have reserved 20 minutes at the end for Q&A.

With that, I will now invite the Chair of our Board, Jo Mark Zurel, to call this meeting to order.

Jo Zurel

Thank you, Stephanie. All right. Well, thank you. I'm pleased to call the 2026
