Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Doug Brown. I am the Chairman of the Board of Fluence, and I will be chairing the meeting today. It is my pleasure to welcome you to the extraordinary general meeting of Fluence Corporation Limited. We advise that we have complied with the relevant requirements for convening this meeting, and that a quorum is present. I therefore declare the meeting open. I would like to introduce my fellow directors who are present online today. Benjamin Fash, who is the company's Managing Director and CEO. Paul Donnelly, who is the company's Lead Independent Director, and Nikolaus Oldendorff, a Non-Executive Director. Our senior executive present are our Chief Financial Officer, Osvaldo Llanes, and our Chief Legal and Talent Officer, Spencer Smith. I would also like to introduce our Company Secretary, Sophia Huang.
As the notice of this meeting was sent to all shareholders on the register in accordance with the company's constitution, unless there are any objections, I intend to take notice of the meeting and explanatory statement as read. We are conducting today's meeting via using a virtual method. Shareholders who are attending online will be able to participate and view the live webcast of the meeting, ask questions, and if appointed as a proxy, cast votes at the appropriate time whilst the meeting is in progress. The format of today's meeting will be first to a formal consideration of the business on today's agenda, with each resolution to be voted on by poll. A Q&A session on the formal items of the business, and a completion of the poll on the formal items of the business.
Our Company Secretary, Sophia, will now outline the Q&A, as well as the voting procedures for today's meeting. Sophia?
Thank you, Doug. As mentioned earlier, shareholders will be able to participate, ask questions, and cast their vote at the appropriate times whilst the meeting is in progress.

For those proxy holders, shareholders, and authorized corporate representatives who have not yet voted prior to the meeting, please cast your votes on each of the resolutions when the poll is opened.

By completing the voting via the webinar poll, where instructed to vote in a particular manner, you are deemed to have voted in accordance with those instructions. Where the chair has been appointed as proxy on behalf of a shareholder, the chair of the meeting intends to vote those proxies in favor of all resolutions.

Thank you, Sophia. I will now move to the formal business of today's meeting. Before opening the poll, I wish to remind shareholders that the poll will remain open for an additional minute or two after we considered all resolutions. I now declare the poll open. I refer you to Resolution 1, which relates to the ratification of the agreement to issue a total of 16 million options to Jeremy Dayment, who Fluence has hired as its Chief Financial Officer. I move that shareholders consider, and if thought fit, pass the ordinary resolution. I now move to Resolution 2, which relates to the approval of termination benefits to Mr. Jeremy Dayment. I move that the shareholders consider, and if thought fit, pass the ordinary resolution.

Thank you, Paul. We will now go to shareholders' questions for these resolutions.
Mr. Chair, we haven't received any questions.
Okay. We will now provide shareholders with some additional time to complete their poll voting. Ladies and gentlemen, since the poll is now closed, as additional time is now up, I declare the poll closed. Since the poll is now closed, and there is no other business that can be brought forward at this meeting, I declare the meeting closed. After the votes have been counted, the results of the poll will be released to the ASX later today. We thank you for your attendance and your continuing support of the company.
Thank you, everyone, for-
