Good morning, everyone, and welcome to DLocal Limited's Annual General Meeting. The meeting will now come to order. I am Pedro Arnt, CEO and Director of DLocal, and I thank everyone for being here today. I will be acting as the chairperson of the meeting. Before we continue with today's proceedings, I'd like to remark that our company policy is to conduct our AGM focused on the matters to be submitted to a vote of the shareholders and to table questions submitted by attending shareholders. We'll continue to carry out our business updates during our regularly scheduled quarterly earnings calls. Should you wish to submit a question during the meeting, please click on the Q&A icon at the top right side of your screen, type your question into the text box, and then click Send icon at the right of that text box.
Please be reminded that in the interest of all shareholders, we will only address those questions that are pertinent to the scope of the meeting and at the appropriate moment. We ask that you restrict your remarks to the items that have been placed on the agenda. The company has appointed Donna Bent from Computershare, Inc to act as Inspector of Elections at this AGM, and Computershare will remotely tabulate the votes. Any questions will be answered before the announcement of the voting results. If you have joined this meeting as a guest rather than as a shareholder, you will not be able to participate or submit questions. Thanks for your cooperation with the rules of conduct for the meeting, which can be viewed by clicking on the documents icon at the top right of your screen.
I'll now ask the Inspector of Elections to give the update on the qualification of this meeting to proceed.
