Welcome to the 2026 Annual General Meeting of Lifezone Metals Limited. I'm Keith Liddell, Chair of the board of the company. I'd like to introduce our Lead Independent Director of the company, Robert Edwards, who will be acting as Chair of this Annual General Meeting. Over to you, Rob.
Thank you, Keith. Hello, and thank you for joining us today. My name is Robert Edwards, and I'm the Lead Independent Director of Lifezone Metals Limited. Please note that this meeting is being recorded. It is now 1:03 P.M. , British Summer Time, and this meeting is called to order. We are including a virtual format for this meeting, which allows us to be more inclusive and allows for all shareholders to attend via video link, regardless of their location. Thank you to all shareholders attending. I would also like to introduce the directors and members of our team who are attending the meeting today, either remotely or in person. Attending in person are directors Jennifer Houghton and, of course, myself. We also have present Spencer Davis, Chief Legal Officer, who will act as secretary of this meeting.
Attending remotely are directors Keith Liddell, Chris Showalter, Govind Friedland, Mwanaidi Maajar, John Dowd, and Beatriz Orrantia. Also attending the meeting remotely, Leicia Savinetti of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, and Baker McKenzie, our U.S. securities lawyers. Our Isle of Man lawyers, Appleby, are attending in person. I would like to outline the format of today's meeting. Today's meeting will consist of the formal business of the Annual General Meeting. To accurately reflect the views of shareholders, voting will be done by way of a poll on each of the resolutions put to the meeting. Any shareholder who hasn't yet voted on the proposals under consideration, or who wishes to change their vote, may do so by clicking on the voting button on the web portal and following the instructions or by delivering their poll card in the next meeting room.
Shareholders who have sent proxies or voted their proxy via the Internet and who do not want to change their vote do not need to take any further action. Leicia Savinetti of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company has been appointed as the Inspector of Election of this meeting and has taken the Oath of Inspector of Election earlier today. We will now proceed with the business of the Annual General Meeting, which will follow the order set forth in the notice and proxy statement. I have received a quorum report from the Inspector of Election. The report indicates that according to the certified shareholder list and the number of shares eligible to vote, there are persons holding more than 50% of the shares present in person or by proxy and represented at the meeting, and this constitutes a quorum for transacting business of this Annual General Meeting.
Accordingly, the meeting is legally convened. If a shareholder has a question or comment during the meeting, please submit this through the virtual meeting portal that is accessible with your control number. Responses to all questions and comments will be provided separately after the meeting. I will now propose the resolutions be voted on. If you have not already done so or wish to change your vote, please do so now. The polls will remain open until all resolutions have been proposed. All the resolutions are proposed as ordinary resolutions and require a simple majority of votes cast to be passed. Resolution number 1 is to receive the company's accounts for the financial year ended December 31st, 2025. Resolution 2 is to ratify the appointment of the auditor, BDO LLP, London, U.K. Resolution 3 is to re-elect Keith Liddell as a Class 3 Director of the company.
Resolution 4 is to re-elect Chris Showalter as a Class 3 Director of the company. Biographies of the directors seeking re-election were included in the notice and proxy statement. Now that all proposals have been presented and shareholders have had the opportunity to vote, I declare the polls are closed. We have been informed by the Inspector of Election that the preliminary vote report shows that resolutions 1, 2, 3, and 4 have been approved. We will report the final vote results in a Form 6-K to be filed after this meeting. That concludes the business of this meeting. I thank you all for your interest and attendance and declare the meeting is closed.
