Charles Jeannes
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the 2026 Annual General and Special Meeting of the Shareholders of Orla Mining Limited. The meeting will now come to order. My name is Chuck Jeannes, and I’m Chair of the company.
Before we commence the formal business of the meeting, I’d like to provide some opening remarks. We’ve moved our annual meeting to a virtual platform, which is accessible to all our shareholders regardless of physical location. While this year’s meeting will comply with applicable legislation, our rules of conduct may differ from an in-person meeting.
First, each attendee today has already been asked to provide their full name prior to joining, and these details have been conveyed to Computershare for the purposes of registration and recordkeeping in order to enable them to prepare their scrutineers’ report for this meeting. In addition, I would like to advise those in attendance that this meeting is being recorded.
The primary difference between this conference call format and an in-person meeting is the stratification of the shareholders into 2 groups, being registered and nonregistered shareholders. To be a registered shareholder, your shares must be registered in your name. Everyone else is a nonregistered shareholder, which means that you almost certainly have your shares held in a book-based system at your bank or brokerage firm.
Registered shareholders and valid proxy holders who have joined via conference call and registered with Computershare are permitted to speak at this meeting. Nonregistered shareholders are only permitted to listen. It is expected that the nonregistered shareholders and attending this meeting have already registered their voting preferences in advance through their brokerage firm or bank.
