Paul Rivett

Thank you, Emily. Good morning, fellow shareholders. My name is Paul Rivett, as Emily said, and I am the Chair of GreenFirst. Welcome to the 2026 Annual Meeting of GreenFirst Forest Products. Before proceeding with the business of the meeting, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce the officers of the corporation who are in attendance at this meeting, Joel Fournier, Michel Lessard, Peter Ferrante and Leila Weiner.

We have a number of items of business to cover in today's meeting. As set out in the notice of meeting, during the formal portion of the meeting, only questions related to the specific resolutions will be addressed. All other questions will be addressed following the presentation. Only registered shareholders will be able to vote on the platform. You will see the voting button on the platform that will allow you to vote. If you have already submitted a proxy to Computershare indicating your vote on each item, you do not need vote again. Nonregistered shareholders may not participate in the virtual voting unless they have appointed themselves as proxy holder and have also registered with Computershare.

I will now call the meeting to order. I will preside as Chair of this meeting, and Kathleen Skerrett of Gardiner Roberts LLP will act as Secretary of the meeting.
