Ladies and gentlemen, the annual general meeting of ADENTRA Inc will now come to order. My name is Rob Taylor, and I am the chair of the company. I will act as chair of this meeting. This meeting is being held virtually to enable greater participation by shareholders. Before continuing with the formal part of the meeting, I would like to introduce you to other members of the company who are attending today's meeting. Robert Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer. Faiz Karmally, Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Secretary. I will ask Minji Park, Legal Counsel to the company, to act as secretary for this meeting. With the consent of the meeting, I will ask Alicia Mohammed of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc to act as scrutineer of the meeting.
I have received an affidavit from Broadridge that the notice calling this meeting was mailed to shareholders in accordance with the bylaws of the company and applicable law. With the consent of the meeting, the reading of the notice of the meeting will be dispensed with, and I will ask the Secretary to append the confirmation of mailing to the minutes of this meeting as a schedule. The scrutineer has provided a report regarding shareholder attendance at the meeting. Based on the preliminary tabulation of proxies received to date, the scrutineer reports that quorum is present. I accept the scrutineer's report and declare that a quorum of shareholders is present. The scrutineer's report will be incorporated into the minutes of this meeting.
As there is a quorum present, as adequate notice of the meeting has been given, I also declare this meeting to be properly called and duly constituted for the transaction of the business. I will first deal with the formal business to fulfill the legal requirements of this meeting, following which our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer will answer any questions you may have. I've been advised that we have guests at the meeting other than shareholders and proxy holders. I welcome all guests. However, I would like to remind them that only registered shareholders and proxy holders have the legal right to vote on any resolution, and only shareholders can ask questions at the meeting. Before we consider the business of the meeting, I would like to comment on the voting procedures to be used at today's meeting.
To facilitate the formal business of the meeting, Marie Robinson will propose, and Faiz Karmally will second the formal motions. At any time during the meeting, registered shareholders who have not already provided voting instructions or appointed a proxy holder, either logged on and wish to vote their shares, may do so by clicking on the Vote Here button on your screen. Proxy holders may also vote now using the same method. The polls will remain open until just before the conclusion of the formal business of the meeting. Shareholders or proxy holders may ask questions online at any time during the meeting by typing their questions using the Ask a Question field at the bottom of your screen and clicking Submit. We will respond to questions received on each matter of formal business at the time it comes before the meeting.
Questions that are not received by that time or which do not relate to the formal business of the meeting will be addressed in the question and answer session following the conclusion of the meeting. If shareholders wish to ask questions about the company's business, you may do so at any time during the meeting or during the question and answer session following the conclusion of the formal business of the meeting. If you have voted your shares prior to the start of the meeting, your vote has been received by the company scrutineer, and there is no need to vote those shares during the meeting unless you wish to revoke or change your vote. We have been advised by Broadridge that based on the proxies already deposited with them, enough votes have been cast to carry each of the motions.
As the first item of business, I now table the financial statements of the company for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the report of the auditors. Copies were mailed to all registered shareholders and request, requesting beneficial shareholders prior to this meeting. They can also be accessed on the web portal. It is now in order to proceed with the nomination and election of directors. The number of directors of the company has been fixed at nine. The company did not receive notice of any director nominations in connection with this meeting within the time prescribed by the advance notice requirements in the company's bylaws. Accordingly, at this meeting, the only persons eligible to be nominated for election as directors are the persons nominated by management as set out in the management information circular.
The shareholders are being asked to elect the directors of the company to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are elected or appointed, or until they otherwise cease to hold office. Information pertaining to each of the nominees for election as director was included in the management information circular. Each of the nominees set out in the management information circular are currently serving as directors of the company. I will now read the names of the persons nominated as directors as listed in the company's information circular. The names of the persons nominated as directors of the company for the ensuing year are Mr. Robert Brown, Mrs. Charlotte Burke, Mr. George Judd, Mrs. Michelle Lewis, Mr. Jim McCauley, Mrs. Marie Robinson, Mr. Richard Waugh, Mrs. Qi Tang, and Mr. Rob Taylor.
The company has received written consent of these nominees to act as director of the company. Since there can be no further nominations, I declare the nominations closed. Since the nominees is the same as the number of vacancies to be filled, I now ask for someone to move a resolution that the persons nominated for election as directors be elected as directors of the company to hold office until the next annual general meeting. Who will move the motion?
So moved.
Who will second the motion?
I second the motion.
Is there any discussion on this motion? Minji, have we received any questions?
No, we have not.
As a reminder to registered shareholders and proxy holders voting at the meeting, to vote on this item of business under item number one in the voting section on the right-hand side of your screen, you will find listed the names of the nine nominees for election as directors listed in the information circular. For each nominee, you may vote for or against in respect of that nominee. If you have already provided voting instructions or submitted a proxy, you do not need to vote on this matter. I've been advised by the scrutineer that a significant majority of the proxies received by management prior to the meeting have been voted for the election of each of the persons nominated to serve as directors. I confirm that the nine directors nominees named in the management information circular have been elected as directors.
The next item of business before the meeting relates to the appointment of auditors of the company. I now ask for someone to move a resolution that KPMG LLP Chartered Accountants be appointed as auditors for the company for the ensuing year and that the directors be authorized to fix the remuneration to be paid to the auditors. Who will move the motion?
So moved.
Who will second the motion?
I second the motion.

As a reminder to registered shareholders and proxy holders voting at the meeting, to vote on this item of business under item number two in the voting section on the right-hand side of your screen, you may vote for or withhold in respect of this motion.
You may not vote for any accounting firm other than KPMG LLP Chartered Accountants. If you have already provided voting instructions or submitted a proxy, you do not need to vote on this matter. I've been advised by the scrutineer that a significant majority of the proxies received by management prior to the meeting have been voted for the motion, and I declare the motion carried. The polls are now closed with respect to voting on all of the motions. The final report on voting results provided by the scrutineer after the meeting will be incorporated into the minutes of the meeting after the meeting. We will also post the final voting results on SEDAR+. That concludes the agenda for the formal meeting. Since there are no other matters of business to come before the formal part of the meeting, the meeting is concluded and terminated.
I would now like to open the meeting to questions from shareholders. Questions can be submitted through the web portal. Minji Park will read those questions submitted and which relate to the company's business. Minji, have we received any questions?
No, we have not.
