Thank you, operator. Good morning, everyone, and welcome. My name is Orlando Cabrales Segovia, and I'm the Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Frontera. In accordance with the company's articles, I will be acting as Chairman of today's meeting. We will now proceed with the formal portion of today's meeting. To expedite the formal part of the meeting, I will move and second all motions. I appoint Alejandra Bonilla, General Counsel and Secretary of the company, to act as Secretary for the meeting and record the proceedings. I would like to ask the Secretary to provide certain details of the meeting.
Thank you, Orlando. Good morning. My name is Alejandra Bonilla, and I will act as Secretary for the meeting. This meeting of shareholders is called pursuant to the notice of meeting dated April 9, 2025. We are constituting this meeting as an Annual and Special Meeting of the shareholders of Frontera Energy Corporation. Unless there is any objection, I will dispense with the reading of the notice of meeting. Copies of the management information circular and other meeting material are available under the company's profile on the SEDAR+ website.
As this meeting is being held virtually via live audio webcast, it is necessary to set out a few guidelines for the orderly conduct of the meeting. First, please note that this meeting is being recorded. Questions in respect of a motion can be submitted by any registered shareholder or duly appointed proxyholder using the instant messaging service of the virtual interface we're using to host today's meeting. Please note that there will be a slight delay in the publication of a communication received. When asking a question, please indicate your name and which entity you represent, if any. Questions will generally appear shortly after they are submitted, but will only be addressed during the question period at the end of the meeting, provided that questions regarding procedural matters or directly related to motions before the meeting may be addressed during the meeting.
For purposes of the meeting today, voting on all matters will be conducted by electronic ballot. Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders will be asked to vote on each business item after the presentation of all business items. When you are asked to vote, you will receive a message on the virtual interface we're using to host today's meeting, requesting that you register your vote. You will only have a certain amount of time to do so when the polls are open. The Chairman has appointed Computershare Trust Company of Canada, represented by Hesed Itzchak, as a scrutineer. As Secretary, I confirm that notices of this meeting was duly given in accordance with the British Columbia Business Corporations Act and the company's articles, and that a quorum of shareholders, as described by the company's articles, is present in person or represented by proxy.
Therefore, this meeting is properly constituted for the transaction of such business as may be properly brought before it. Our transfer agent, Computer Share Trust Company of Canada, has attested to the proper mailing of the notice calling this meeting. There has been filed with me proof of service of such provided by the company's agent. The chairman has directed that a copy of such proof of service be annexed to the minutes of this meeting as a schedule. I also note that the report of the scrutiny indicates that a sufficient number of proxies in favor of all motions have been lodged with the scrutiny, and therefore, all proposed resolutions will be passed. The chairman has directed that a formal report be annexed to the minutes of this meeting as a schedule. Orlando.
Notice having been properly given and a quorum being present, I declare the meeting to be regularly called, and the meeting will now come to order. The first item of business is the presentation of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal period ended December 31st, 2024, together with the auditor's report to the shareholders thereon. Copies of such documents have been mailed to shareholders who requested such statements, and it is not proposed to read them to the meeting. The second item of business is setting the number of directors at six. The articles of the Company provide that the number of directors is to be fixed by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders. The directors recommend that the number of directors be fixed at six. I move and second a motion to fix the number of directors at six.
The next item of business is the election of directors. The following six individuals have been nominated for election as directors of the company for the ensuing year. Gabriel de Alba, Luis Fernando Alarcón Mantilla, Ellie Sandstrom, Russell Ford, Veronique Giry, Orlando Cabrales Segovia. Each of the persons nominated has confirmed that he or she is prepared to serve as a director. The company has not received advance notice, in accordance with the company's advance notice policy, of any other nominations. Accordingly, I declare nominations closed. Since there are no other nominations, I move and second a motion to elect the directors. The next item of business is the appointment of auditors. Ernst & Young LLP has been proposed for reappointment as auditors for the company to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders at a remuneration to be fixed by the Board of Directors of the company.
I move and second that Ernst & Young LLP be appointed as auditors of the Company until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders at a remuneration to be fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company. The next item of business is the Company's proposal to amend and restate the Shareholders' Rights Plan of the Company. As set out in the Company's Management Information Circular, the amendments proposed are of an administrative nature and include amendments to clarify the definition of control as it applies to limited partnerships, update the applicable securities law status to the Alberta Securities Act, reflect the Company's change of head office address, and reflect certain other minor amendments of an administrative nature as further described in the Circular.
In order for the shareholders' rights plan to be amended, continue in effect after the meeting and be fully accepted by the TSX, the shareholders' rights plan must be approved by both a majority of the votes cast by shareholders at the meeting and a majority of the votes cast by independent shareholders at the meeting. To the knowledge of the company, Catalyst is the only shareholder that is not an independent shareholder. Accordingly, the 31,669,506 shares beneficially owned or controlled by Catalyst will be excluded from such vote. If the amended and restated shareholders' rights plan is not approved at the meeting, the rights plan will terminate today, May 22nd, 2025, and the company will no longer have any form of shareholders' rights plan.
I move and second that the amended and restated shareholders' rights plan agreement entered into between the company and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, dated November second, 2016, as amended and restated, be and is hereby confirmed and approved. The distribution and continued existence of the rights distributed pursuant to such amended and restated shareholders' rights plan agreement be, and the same is hereby approved, ratified, and confirmed.
Any Director or Officer of the Company be and is hereby authorized and directed for and on behalf and in the name of the Company to execute, deliver, and file all such further documents, authorizations, and instruments, and to take any and all such further actions as he or she may, in his or her sole discretion, determine to be necessary or desirable in connection with, or to carry out the provisions of the foregoing resolutions, the execution of such documentation, and the doing of such things to be conclusive evidence of such determination. The Board of Directors of the Company be and is hereby authorized, without further approval of or notice to the shareholders, to revoke this resolution at any time prior to the proposed effective date for such action. As we mentioned, voting today will be conducted by electronic ballot.
I will now ask that the balloting be open to registered holders and appointed proxyholders.
The polls are now open, and at this point, all registered shareholders and proxyholders who have properly logged in with their control numbers and wish to vote will be able to vote questions and all motions being brought forth at this meeting. For the motion to set the number of directors at six, please register your vote by accessing the voting tab and selecting the for or against button next to the motion. For the motions to elect the proposed directors and appoint the company's auditors and authorize the board to fix their remuneration, please register your vote by accessing the voting tab and selecting the for or withhold button next to the name of each proposed director and next to the resolution to accept the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the company's auditors.
We will provide registered holders and duly appointed proxyholders approximately one more minute to complete the electronic ballot. Once the electronic ballot is closed, your vote will automatically be submitted. The polls are now closed.
I have been advised by the scrutineers that the ballots and proxies deposited for the meeting have been voted in favor of each of the resolutions. I further confirm that the scrutineer reports that the motion to approve the amended and restated shareholders' rights plan has been duly carried by both a majority of the votes cast at this meeting and a majority of the votes cast by independent shareholders at this meeting. Accordingly, I declare each motion and resolution carried. I direct that the results of the polls be included with the minutes of this meeting and that the final results of the voting be announced in a press release in accordance with the policies of the TSX on file on SEDAR+. The formal items of business as set out in the notice of meeting have now been dealt with. I move and second that this meeting now terminate.
As there is no further business to come before the meeting, I declare the formal part of the meeting to be concluded. I will now turn the meeting over to Alejandra Bonilla for the question and answer period.
