Thank you for standing by, and welcome to the L1 Long Short Fund Limited annual general meeting. I would now like to hand over to your chairman, Mr. Andrew Larke. Please go ahead. Well, good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Andrew Larke, and I have the privilege of being the chairman of your company and also of today's meeting. It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2022 annual general meeting of L1 Long Short Fund Limited. This annual general meeting is occurring virtually. It is being conducted through the online platform provided by our share registrar, Link Market Services Limited. It is now 10:00 A.M., and as we have a quorum, I declare the meeting open. I would now like to introduce my fellow directors, John Macfarlane, Harry Kingsley, Mark Landau, and Raphael Lamm. Also present is Mark Licciardo from Acclime Australia, our company secretary, and also Rohit Khanna of Ernst & Young, our company's auditors. Notice of this meeting and the explanatory memorandum was sent to all shareholders, and I propose that this be taken as read. I now turn to my chairman's address. Market conditions have been difficult in 2022, with equity markets impacted by rising inflation, increasing global interest rates, and geopolitical tensions. These conditions have not been seen for many years and have proven challenging for companies over the last 12 months. Albeit the manager did outperform the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index during the calendar year to date. The manager's returns for calendar year 2022, as at the end of October, were -1.3% compared with -4.1% for the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index. While it has been a somewhat frustrating year at times, the manager's performance over the last three years has been exceptional, with the company's portfolio returning 19.5% per annum net of fees, compared with a 4.8% per annum return for the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index. This is an outperformance of 14.7% per annum over that period. Since IPO in April 2018, the company's portfolio has outperformed the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index by around 2.4% per annum. At the Australian Alternative Investment Awards in late September, the company won the award for Best Listed Alternative Investment Product. In mid-October, at the Zenith Awards, the L1 Long Short strategy won the award for Best Australian Equities Alternative Strategies. Looking forward, the manager remains cautious on the outlook for global markets and has continued to reduce its net long exposure to around 50%. At the same time last year, the net long was over 100%. In this environment where markets are particularly uncertain, the company's fortunes will be determined by the ability of the manager to carefully select stock positions, agilely adjust net long exposures, and generally navigate volatile equity markets. We feel the company is in good hands with L1 Capital as the manager. Previous periods of volatility have provided the manager with opportunities to buy good quality stocks at attractive prices. Dividends. The company paid an interim dividend of AUD 0.04 per share, fully franked, in March 2022, and a final dividend of AUD 0.045, fully franked, in September 2022, bringing total dividends for the year to AUD 0.085 per share, fully franked, which was an uplift of 89% on the prior corresponding period. We expect total dividends to increase again in 2023. Capital management. Over the last 12 months, the share price discount to post-tax NTA has been around 5%. The board believes that the following measures have been and continue to be important in minimizing this discount. Number one, strong investment performance by the manager. Number two, regular and growing fully franked dividend payments. Number three, an ongoing share buyback program where the company will acquire shares if the discount to the post-tax NTA is greater than 10%. Number four, strong alignment from the manager and the non-executive directors. During the year, both Mark and Rafi continued to increase their investment in the company, bringing the total shareholdings of owners of the manager to around 15% of the company. Non-executive directors also increased their shareholdings in the company during the year. Finally, number five, extensive market communications. The company has a comprehensive investor relations program that includes daily NTA disclosures, monthly and quarterly reports, six-monthly investor webinars, periodic podcasts, and over 500 meetings with shareholders, key advisory and wealth management groups over the past 12 months. Last week, 700 people attended the latest investor seminar hosted by Mark Landau. In conclusion, your board would like to thank the manager for their hard work over the last 12 months in difficult market conditions. I know that the team is sticking to their processes that have provided exceptional historical returns through value investing based upon deep industry and company-specific research. I would also like to thank all of our shareholders for their continuing support of the company. It is very much appreciated. I now turn to the business of today's meeting.

As I mentioned earlier, we now have the opportunity to address any questions from shareholders. Shareholders also have the opportunity to ask questions of the investment manager. Moderator, are there any questions on the phone lines? Thank you. There are no questions on the phone line. Thank you. Jane, are there any questions on the online platform? We have a question from David Probert for Mark Landau. The September monthly report indicated that the fund was holding a cash position of 38%. What changes in the investing environment is the fund looking for to start deploying these funds? What is the anticipated timeframe, or is the fund planning to decrease its current exposure from 62%? Thanks, David, for your question. As of the latest update we provided on the investor webinar, we're currently sitting at around a net long in the 40%-50% range. That compares to a typical net long for the portfolio of around 70%. Your observation that we're much more cautious on the investment environment and the risks for the stock market is accurate. We typically believe 70% net long is what you should expect over the very long term. At different points in time when we're more positive on the market as we were at the period when COVID hit and the following year and a half, when we're sitting closer to 100%, that was reflective of much more attractive valuations, what we thought was more likely to see earnings upgrades and also a much more conducive central bank and fiscal policy globbally. At the moment, each of those positive tailwinds has now reversed, and we feel the valuations are full. We believe that the impact of central bank tightening is yet to be felt, and we're likely to see a wave of much weaker earnings results over the coming 12 months. For that reason, we're comfortable staying at that 40%-50% level. If we were to see stocks fall, significantly, or we were to see investor expectations moderate and have those, more cautious outlooks reflected in share prices, you would probably see us increase our net long to reflect that, better opportunity set. Having said that, we still think there are fantastic opportunities on both the long and short side, so please don't take our lower net long as a reflection of us having a lack of investment opportunities. We think there's a fantastic set of investment opportunities, and I'd encourage you to read our monthly and quarterly reports, to get more detailed insight into which stocks and sectors we're positive or negative on. Jane, are there any further questions on the online platform? No, there are no further questions. Thank you, Jane. As there are no remaining questions, I'd like to thank you all for your attendance, and I now declare the meeting closed.
