OFG Bancorp (OFG) Earnings Call Transcript & Summary

The line is live, You may begin.

Good afternoon. And welcome to the 2020 Virtual Annual Meeting of Shareholders of OFG Bancorp. My name is Julian Inclán. I'm the Chairperson of the Board of Directors of OFG Bancorp. The Board has designated me to preside this meeting. In light of the coronavirus pandemic, our meeting originally scheduled for April 22, 2020, to take place at our principal offices in San Juan, Puerto Rico, was adjourned twice and is now reconvened as a virtual meeting to allow our shareholders, Board of Directors and management to safely participate in compliance with the physical distancing and shelter-in-place executive orders of the CDC guidance. The agenda for this meeting is broadcast through our virtual meeting website. The agenda calls for us to open the meeting, read and approve the minutes, formally consider the proposals submitted to shareholders and then conclude the meeting. We will traditionally proceed through the agenda of today's meeting. For information on the results of OFG Bancorp for 2019 and the first quarter 2020, please visit our Investor Relations website at www.ofgbancorp.com, where you can find investor presentations, earnings releases and SEC filings. I hereby call the meeting to order with quorum established by a majority of shares present representing more than 90% of issued and outstanding shares. Carlos Souffront, our Secretary and General Counsel, will serve as the Secretary of this meeting; and Hugh Gonzalez, our Deputy General Counsel, will serve as the Inspector of the Election. Shareholders attending the meeting can vote their shares online at any time during the meeting until the closing of the polls by logging into the meeting website as a shareholder and clicking the vote here button on your screen. If you have previously voted by proxy and do not wish to change your vote, no further action is required. The polls will be closed at the presentation of the proposals and completion of the discussion of such proposals, if any. If you have logged into the meeting as a shareholder, you may submit a question through the ask a question text box on your screen. Questions related to the matters voted at the meeting will be addressed to the extent possible prior to the closing of the polls. We will do our best to answer as many questions as time allows. To give everybody a chance to ask a question, we will limit each shareholder to one question or topic. Questions and answers may be grouped by topic and substantially similar questions will be grouped and answered once. Please note that most of the shareholders have voted by proxy and their votes have already been counted. Consistent with our law, we have available for review by our shareholders a list of record shareholders of the company's common stock as of the close of business on February 27, 2020, provided by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, who is our register and transfer agent. Now we will proceed to read and approve the minutes of the last year's annual meeting of shareholders.
