Thank you. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to DIRTT's 2026 Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders. My name is Scott Robinson, and I'm the Executive Chair of the Board of DIRTT and I'll be chairing this shareholder meeting today. This meeting is being held in a virtual format. Registered shareholders and proxy holders will have the opportunity to vote and ask questions in accordance with the procedures set out in the proxy statement. After some brief introductory comments, I'll convene the official business meeting. I would first like to take the opportunity to introduce you to all the members of DIRTT's Board of Directors who are here with me today, either in person in Calgary or virtually. Holly Hess Groos; Douglas Edwards; Jeremy Gold; Shalima Pannikode; Scott Ryan; Adrian Zarate; Benjamin Urban, DIRTT's CEO. Next, I'd also like to introduce you to the members of the DIRTT executive leadership team in attendance. In addition to Benjamin Urban, our Chief Executive Officer; we have Fareeha Khan, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary; Aaron Merkin, Chief Technology Officer; and Adrian Zarate, Chief Transformation Officer. I'd also like to thank our executive team for all the time and effort they put into DIRTT and our team members. Finally, representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are also in attendance and have been given the opportunity to make a statement if they desire. They are also available to respond to appropriate questions. I'd like to offer a special welcome and acknowledgment to Adrian Zarate and Jeremy Gold, who joined the Board of Directors last summer and this winter, respectively. Adrian joined DIRTT as Chief Transformation Officer in November 2025 and served as a member of DIRTT's Board of Directors since July of 25. Prior to joining DIRTT, Adrian developed extensive experience in capital markets and corporate finance through senior roles at 22NW Fund, LP, Greenhill & Company and Nuveen. Jeremy Gold has been a Managing Director at the Briger Family Office since 2022. We are thrilled to have both Jeremy and Adrian at the table and look forward to their continued contributions towards DIRTT's long-term success. I'll now call this 2026 Annual General Meeting to order. Access to the meeting materials, including the notice of meeting, management information circular and proxy statement and form of proxy was made available to shareholders on or about March 27, 2026. The declaration of mailing is available for inspection by any shareholder upon request. A copy of the declaration will be filed with the minutes of today's meeting. I've been advised by the scrutineers that a quorum is present for today's meeting. A copy of the scrutineers report is also available for inspection by any shareholder and will also be filed with the minutes of today's meeting. To facilitate the timely and orderly conduct of today's business, arrangements have been made with certain shareholders to move and second the resolutions to be considered during the meeting. If you are a registered shareholder or a duly appointed proxy holder, you may submit a question directly related to any of the proposals. You can submit questions by clicking on the Q&A tab. Only questions directly related to the proposals being considered will be addressed during the meeting. All other questions may be directed to our Investor Relations department after the meeting. The website has contact information for this department. I confirm that proper notice of the meeting was given in accordance with applicable requirements and that a quorum is present. Accordingly, I declare the meeting duly called and properly constituted for the transaction of business. Voting on all resolutions will be conducted by ballot. The online ballot is now open and available to shareholders and proxy holders for use throughout meeting. If you've already submitted your form of proxy or voting instruction form, no further action is required. However, if you wish to change your vote and are permitted to do so, you may submit a new vote online at any time during the voting period. The first item of business is receiving the 2025 audited financial statements of DIRTT and the auditor's report thereof, which were published at the end of February '26, and which I now place before the meeting. A copy of the financial statements was provided to shareholders on around March 27, 2026. I will now consider the financial statements tabled for review. Shareholders are not required to approve the financial statements, so I will not be asking for a motion to approve. However, management and representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are available today to answer any questions concerning the financial statements and the auditor's report. The next item of business is the election of the directors of DIRTT. As disclosed in the management information circular and proxy statement, each director will be elected individually and not as a slate. Eight individuals are to be elected, each to hold office until the next meeting of shareholders or until such person's successor is duly elected or appointed. The director nominees are: Douglas Edwards, Jeremy Gold, Holly Hess Groos, Shalima Pannikode, Scott Robinson, Scott Ryan, Adrian Zarate and Benjamin Urban.
