Also in attendance are Adam Segal, the company's General Counsel and Corporate Secretary; Daniel Ricica, Audit Partner with KPMG, the company's auditor.

We will begin with the formal part of the meeting, and then I will make a few closing remarks. As this meeting is being held virtually via a live webcast, it is necessary to set out a few rules for the orderly conduct of the meeting.
