Steven Reid

Thank you. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to our 2026 Annual Meeting. I'm Steve Reid, and I'm the Chair of the Board of Eldorado Gold Corporation. As provided in the company's bylaws, I'll be the Chair of the meeting.

Eldorado is conducting its annual meeting this year in a physical and virtual hybrid format held in person at the offices of Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP in Vancouver, BC, and virtually using the Computershare virtual meeting platform. We also urge shareholders to vote via proxy or voting instruction form prior to this meeting if they were unable to attend the meeting.

I'd like to remind you that for those attending this meeting virtually, only registered shareholders that have logged into the meeting with their previously obtained 15-digit control number or duly appointed proxy holders that have received an invite code from Computershare are entitled to vote at the meeting, ask questions or take an active part in the meeting on the web portal. Beneficial shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxy holder are able to attend the meeting virtually as guests and listen to the webcast, but will not be able to participate or vote at the meeting.

The active participation by only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxy holders virtually is customary and consistent with our in-person meeting procedures. Any registered shareholder or a duly appointed proxy holder with a question that's relevant to the business of this meeting is welcome to
