I'm pleased to be joined today by Carl Goyette, President and CEO; and Ingy Sarraf, CFO and Corporate Secretary, who will present the formal portion of the meeting. Before moving to the formal part of the meeting, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank our employees, partners and shareholders for their continued trust and support. Fiscal 2025 marked an important turning point for GURU. Through disciplined execution, a sharper operating focus and deliberate strategic decisions, we strengthened our fundamentals and positioned the company on a much more solid footing. The progress achieved this year reflects the strength of our business and our ability to build sustainable, profitable growth in the better-for-you energy category. Without further delay, I officially call this meeting to order. I will now turn the floor over to Ingy to handle the formal proceedings. Ingy?

The final item of business is the approval of unallocated awards under our Omnibus Incentive Plan, as further described in Annex C of our management information circular available on SEDAR+. As outlined in the circular, the Omnibus Incentive Plan is a rolling 10% security-based compensation arrangement. Under the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange, all unallocated awards under such a plan must be approved by shareholders every 3 years. Shareholders last approved the Omnibus Incentive Plan in March [ 2022 ]. Accordingly, and as detailed in Annex C of the circular, the Board of Directors approved on January 21, 2026, the continuation of the plan and the approval of all unallocated awards thereunder, subject to shareholder approval at this meeting.
