Jean Mayer
VP of Legal Affairs & Corporate Secretary

Good morning. My name is Jean Mayer, and I'm the Vice President, Legal Affairs and Corporate Secretary for PyroGenesis. The Annual and Special Meeting of the Shareholders is about to begin. Instructions on the voting procedure will appear on your screens. As with any relatively new technology, unexpected glitches may occur, but our service providers for this platform at Lumi are very experienced at running this type of meeting and will help us out as needed.

On each poll, every shareholder who is entitled to vote on the matter has one vote in respect of each share entitled to be voted on that matter and held by that shareholder. The poll will be open for all resolutions at the same time. This will allow you to choose to vote on each resolution immediately or wait until the end of the discussion on each resolution before casting your vote.
