Peter Marrone
Chairman & CEO
So let’s begin. Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. I am Peter Marrone, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Allied Gold Corporation. I am pleased to welcome all of you who are attending in person and by webcast to the special meeting of shareholders of Allied Gold. Please note that this meeting, as I mentioned a moment ago, is being webcast live via audio and will be available on our website at www.alliedgold.com following the meeting for those who are interested.
I will give a brief presentation following the formal business of the meeting, which presentation will also be available on our website. And so with the consent of those present, I will act as Chairman of this meeting and I now officially call the meeting to order and appoint Sofia Tsakos, our Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary of the company, to act as Secretary of the meeting and Computershare Investor Services Inc. through their representatives, Daniela Munoz and Shirley Tom to act as scrutineers for the meeting.
May I ask if everyone present has registered with the scrutineers? And if not, would you — I would ask you to please kindly do so now, thank you. So before we proceed, I would like to comment on the voting procedures. Voting on the matter before us today will be by ballot. The ballot — on that ballot, every shareholder is entitled to vote on the matter, and that vote is 1 vote in respect of each share that is held. Only registered shareholders who held shares in their names as of the close of business on February 23, 2026, or their validly appointed proxies are entitled to vote at this meeting.
