Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. My name is Marty Neese, President and CEO of Ballard Power Systems, and I'm pleased to be here to discuss what I believe is a truly transformative day for Ballard.

This morning, we announced that Ballard has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire GeoPura, a leading provider of zero-emission hydrogen energy solutions based in the United Kingdom. This is a pivotal moment for our company, and I look forward to walking you through the strategic rationale, the details of the business and why we believe this combination creates significant long-term value for our shareholders. In addition to Kate, I'm also joined today by Andrew Cunningham, Founder and CEO of GeoPura.
