[SPEAKER ARI DE SA CAVALCANTE NETO:] Dear shareholders, I am pleased to welcome you to this extraordinary general meeting of the Bank of Cyprus Holdings Public Limited Company. My name is Ioannis Oropakis. I am the Senior Independent Director and as I am based in Cyprus, I will be chairing today's meeting. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank you for joining us today under the current circumstances dictated by the pandemic and we ask for your cooperation in transacting the business of this virtual General Meeting. The Board Chairman and the Group CEO are on the line with us address any questions. As required by the Bank's articles of association, I asked the Company's Secretary, Mrs. Katia Santos, to confirm the quorum and to announce the participation figures. I can announce that 52 shareholders attend today's meeting either in person or via proxies. This corresponds to 48.73 percent of the bank's share capital, which is equivalent to 217 1,414,413,459 shares. This satisfies the minimum quorum criteria for this meeting. We are now moving on to the business of the extraordinary general meeting and the proposed resolutions. As indicated in the notice of the meeting, we will take all resolutions on a poll vote by means of electronic voting and therefore ask the Company Secretary to elaborate. Mr. Chairman, under Article 62A of BOC Holdings articles of association, the Chairman is entitled to demand a poll on any resolution. I presume that all of you have read the AGM notice with the proposed resolutions and the agenda related documents. The notice includes the agenda for the business of the AGM as well as explanations for each agenda item. The notice in both English and Greek have been posted on the bank's website. All agenda related reports are available on the bank's website. Any comments or questions you may have about all these reports and proposed resolutions can be raised later in the meeting. Unless there are any objections, we can consider these documents as already read. Since there are no objections, we will proceed with the voting procedure. The poll is now open for all resolutions on today's agenda. I invite the Secretary to explain how the shareholders may exercise their vote through the Lumi application. The Chairman has already opened the voting on all resolutions. You should now be able to see the polling icon on the navigation bar at the bottom of your screen where all resolutions and voting choices will be displayed. To vote, simply select your voting direction from the options shown on screen. A confirmation message will appear to show your vote has been received. To change your vote, simply select another direction. If you wish to cancel your vote, please press cancel. You may vote or change your vote at any time during the meeting until the Chairman announces the closing of the voting on the resolutions. At that point, your last choice will be submitted. We will give another 2, 3 minutes for the voting. We will keep the voting open until we answer any questions. So let us proceed with the Q and A session for any questions you may have relevant to the proposed resolutions. You may submit your questions in writing at the designated space in the Lumi application. I will kindly ask you to be brief and to the point when submitted questions. And again, this is for this extraordinary general meeting about the relevant resolutions. The Chairman of the Board, Directors and the Group CEO as well as the bank's legal advisers are available to address your questions. We do not have any questions. So at this time, we will also close the following. And I would like to ask Ms. Katia Sandis to read the results of the Louis has now made available the results to the Company Secretary.
