James Maclean
Chief Legal Officer & Corporate Secretary

Good afternoon. Thank you for joining us today. My name is James Maclean, and I am the General Counsel for Baytex Energy.

Before we begin, I would like to provide a quick overview of the Lumi virtual meeting platform. You should now see the agenda on the left side of your screen. At the top of the agenda page is a legend showing four different icons you may click on to access different parts of the platform. For example, to ask a question, click the comment bubble icon for written questions or request to speak button to ask a verbal question. The voting icon will only be displayed once the polls are open. Note that if you are attending the meeting as a guest, you will not have the ability to ask questions or vote. Thank you.

And I will now turn it over to the Chair of our Board, Mr. Mark Bly.
