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 meeting room. Shareholders who have sent in 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 and 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 for 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 representative of the meeting and this constitutes a quorum for transacting business of this Annual General Meeting. Accordingly, the meeting is now 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 your questions and comments will be provided separately after the meeting. I will now propose the resolutions to 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 requires a simple majority of votes cast to be passed.
