operatorHello, and welcome to the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Source Energy Services Limited. Please note that this meeting is being recorded. Registered shareholders and proxy holders may submit questions via the Message tab at the top left of your screen by typing in your message then clicking the Send icon to the right of the message box. It is my pleasure to introduce the Chair of Source Energy Services Limited, Mr. Chris Johnson. Mr. Johnson, the floor is yours.
Christopher Johnson
executiveThank you, Mr. Bedard. I'd like to welcome everyone to the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Source Energy Services Limited. My name is Chris Johnson, and I'm the Chair of the Board of Directors of Source Energy Services Limited. In accordance with Source's bylaws, I will preside as Chair of the meeting. Mrs. [ Natalie Chukhvitska ] will act as Secretary of the Meeting. Today's meeting is being held as a completely virtual meeting, which is being conducted by a live audio webcast. This format will provide all shareholders, regardless of geographic location, an equal opportunity to participate at the meeting and engage with directors of Source and management as well as other shareholders. Registered shareholders received a control number in their proxy form and shareholders who have validly appointed their own proxy holder to vote at this virtual meeting by following the proxy appointment process were given a control number by Odyssey Trust Company, Source's transfer agent. These control numbers will act as your logging credentials for this meeting for voting purposes. The procedure for voting will be discussed shortly. All others attending as guests are able to listen, but are not able to submit questions or vote at this meeting. Today's meeting of shareholders is being held to consider and vote on those specific matters as set forth in the management information circular previously mailed to the company's shareholders of record as of March 25, 2025. I now call the formal part of this meeting to order. In order to expedite the meeting, I've asked certain shareholders to make certain motions at appropriate times. This is not intended to preclude shareholder discussion, but only to assist in the progress of the meeting. I welcome questions or comments from the shareholders at any time. I appoint Paul Bedard, a representative of Odyssey Trust Company, to act as scrutineer for the meeting. I received declaration as to the distribution of the notice of the meeting, together with the management information circular and proxy form to all registered shareholders of record as of the close of business on the record date of the meeting. This declaration will be filed with the minutes of the meeting. I've received the report of the scrutineer, which indicates that we have a quorum for the meeting. I hereby adopt the report of the scrutineer and declare that there is a quorum of shareholders present at the meeting. Based on the scrutineers' report and the quorum being present, I declare this meeting as duly constituted for the transaction of business. I direct that the scrutineers' report on attendance will be annexed to the minutes of the meeting. We will conduct the votes on matters considered at the meeting by online ballot. As explained earlier, registered shareholders received a control number on their proxy form and shareholders who have validly appointed their own proxy holder to vote at this meeting rather than voting in advance of this meeting by proxy, by following the proxy appointment process, were required to obtain a control number prior to the meeting from Odyssey Trust Company. These control numbers are required in order to vote at this meeting. If you did not receive a control number, you will not be able to vote at this meeting, you are only able to attend as a guest. Voting is open and will close when indicated by me at the end of the formal part of the meeting. Participants will see the resolutions we will be voting on today together with the voting options. Please cast your vote promptly. The votes are to remain open until the poll is closed. During this time you can vote your shares. If you previously voted and are voting the same shares today, your previous votes would be null and void. While the resolutions are brought forward, we will open up the meeting for discussion on the resolutions, which will be done by way of submitting online questions to the Chair of the meeting. Participants can ask a question at any time during the meeting by selecting the chat bubble at the top of your screen, type in your question and submitting them. Please note that all questions are moderated before going to the Chair in order to eliminate repeated questions and to ensure normal meeting protocol and appropriateness is applied. As your question may be similar in nature to that of another participant, please be aware that the question may be presented to the meeting in a more generic format. If you intend to submit a question, you're invited to do so now. Any questions that are unrelated to the motion before the meeting are out of order and will not be addressed by the Chair. We'll now proceed with the first item of business and present the annual financial statements of Source for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and the auditor's report thereon. Shareholders do not have to take any action regarding the financial statements, and we will now move on to the next item of business. The next item is to fix the number of directors of Source to be elected at the meeting. I ask Scott Melbourn for a motion that the number of directors be elected at the meeting be fixed at 4.
