Thank you, operator. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Annual and Special Meeting of the Shareholders of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. The meeting will now come to order. It is an honor to chair my first Annual Meeting as President and Chief Executive Officer of the company. I'd like to thank our shareholders and Board of Directors for their confidence in Wheaton and for joining us today.

The Board recognizes the importance of in-person engagement with its shareholders as well as the value of enabling virtual participation for Wheaton's wider stakeholder base, including shareholders, employees and the community.

I am pleased to welcome shareholders joining us today, both in person and online. We appreciate your participation in the meeting.

Please note that following the formal part of our meeting, there will be an opportunity for questions. For those attending online, please input your questions through the virtual meeting platform.

Let us now proceed with the business of the meeting. For the purpose of this meeting, Wheaton Precious Metals has appointed Heather Conrad on behalf of Odyssey Trust Company to act as scrutineers. Curt Bernardi, the Executive Vice President, Strategy and General Counsel of the company, will act
