Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, dear shareholders, on behalf of the Board of Directors, which I have the honor of chairing and on my own behalf, I'd like to thank you for your attendance, both to those of you who are physically present in this room and also to those that are joining us remotely. I would like to welcome you to this Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting -- the meeting will be available on the company's website for a period of 1 month following the General Shareholders' Meeting.

Next, and in accordance with the provisions of the Acerinox General Meetings regulations, it is necessary first to verify compliance with the legal and statutory requirements for the valid convening of the meeting. To that end, I give the floor to the Secretary of the Board of Directors.
