Simon Shakesheff

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the 2026 Annual Meeting of shareholders for Kiwi Property. I'm pleased to welcome you all today, whether you're joining us here in person or online via the virtual meeting platform. My name is Simon Shakesheff. I'm the Chair of Kiwi Property. It's my pleasure to open today's meeting. I can confirm that a quorum is present, and I now declare the meeting open.

Before we start proceedings, I'd like to cover off on a few housekeeping matters. Firstly, please switch your mobile phone to silent. Restrooms are in the landing area near the rear entrance to the room. If a fire alarm goes off, please follow the venue staff in orderly fashion down the stairs and congregate in the car park at the front of the building. If you're joining us online and need assistance, please refer to the virtual meeting portal guide or call the helpline on 0800-200-220.

And with that, we'll get things underway. I'll start -- I want to start today's meeting by introducing my colleagues on the Board, and so I'll ask them to raise their hands. Chris Aiken.

He has significant property experience spanning both public and private sectors, and Chris is a member of our People and Culture Committee and our Investment Committee.
