Good afternoon. I'm Dieter Weinand, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company. Will the meeting please come to order? Let me take this opportunity to welcome you to the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Replimune Group, Inc. We're looking forward to hosting this meeting in a virtual format this year in light of the ongoing health concerns associated with COVID 19.

I would also like to note that representatives of Morgan Lewis and Bakes LLP, counsel to the company; and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the company's independent registered public accountants are also present virtually today at the meeting. Before proceeding to the business of this meeting, there are certain legal matters which we must dispose of in order to make certain that we are conducting a duly authorized meeting. But as soon as these are completed, I would like to introduce you to the officers and directors of the company, and also to describe to you the matters proposed for your consideration and action at this meeting. The company has designated Andrew Walford of Computershare Trust Company, N.A. to serve as the inspector of elections. Mr. Walford took his oath of inspector of elections earlier today. He also will be filed with the minutes of the meeting. Will the inspector of elections, please take charge of any proxies that have been filed? We will pause for a moment while the inspector of elections makes his final tabulation of stockholders present virtually or by proxy.

Ladies and gentlemen, there are represented at the meeting, either virtually or by proxy, at least 45,374,629 shares of common stock out of a total of 46,730,451 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting.

The report of the inspector of elections indicates that they are present at the meeting, virtually or represented by proxy, the holders of a majority of the total number of shares of common stock of the company outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting.

Additionally, there is a list of holders of record of the outstanding common stock of the company, which list was certified by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the company's transfer agent and arranged an outspend of order listing each stockholder of record at the close of business on July 15, 2021, the date fixed by the Board of Directors as the record date for this meeting. I have an affidavit of mailing executed by an employee of Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the proxy processing servicer for the company. The affidavit mailing will be filed with the minutes of this meeting.
