Thank you for attending. I'm joined today by our Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Mike Arnold, and our Non-Executive Directors, John Groppoli, and virtually by Simon Poidevin. Also in attendance from the company share registry, Computershare, is Matt Trotman as Returning Officer and Leslie Ung as Meetings Officer. The purpose of the EGM is to obtain shareholder approvals related to recent financing and acquisition activities. Specifically, it seeks approval to ensure compliance with financial assistance requirements tied to the company's debt facility. It's plural. Following the acquisition of Hardware & Building Traders Proprietary Limited, and to restore the company's 15% placement capacity under ASX rules after the capital raise completed on the 2nd of December 2025. This will allow a greater flexibility for future capital management. I'd like to now run through today's order of events. Firstly, the resolutions at today's meeting was outlined in the notice of meeting. These resolutions will be read and put to the meeting with an opportunity for shareholders to ask any questions on the resolution. I'd like to remind you that this is a shareholders' meeting. Only shareholders of the company shares, their attorneys, proxies, and authorized representatives are entitled to vote and speak at this meeting. I ask that each person who wants to ask a question to identify themselves and hold up their admission cards. A poll on the resolutions will be taken at the end of the meeting. Once all voting has occurred, the poll will be declared closed. The poll will then be counted, and the results of the poll will be announced to the ASX following the conclusion of the meeting. Those entitled to vote on the poll are all shareholders, representatives, and attorneys of shareholders and proxy holders who hold admission cards. I will conclude the meeting after the poll. If you have a mobile phone, could you please ensure it is put on silent or turned off for the duration of the meeting? I also ask that you do not use cameras, video or sound recorders during the meeting. I will now move to the formal proceedings of the meeting. The register of shareholders is tabled and available for inspection. Please ensure that you've registered your attendance today with the share registry representative, Matt, as you entered for today's meeting. I advise the meeting that the notice of Extraordinary General Meeting and explanatory statements to shareholders, or a letter directing shareholders to the website location of the notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting and explanatory statements was sent to all registered members. Unless there are any questions at this point, I will take them as read. No questions? Before moving to the resolutions, I advise the meeting that 48 valid proxy forms have been received, representing a total of 37,441,332 shares, or 25.03% of the company's issued share capital. Proxy results will be shown on the screen behind me when I table the resolution. I advise that I intend to vote in favor of the resolutions with proxies received, giving the Chairman the discretion to vote as I see fit. Pursuant to Clause 13.17 of the company's constitution, we will conduct a poll on each resolution, as is now required under the ASX Listing Rules. There are two resolutions in today's meeting. As noted previously, the poll will be taken at the end of the meeting. I will explain the poll procedure then. I will now commence with the business of the meeting as set out in the notice to this Extraordinary General Meeting. Resolution one regarding financial assistance is to consider, and if thought fit, pass with or without amendment the following resolution as a special resolution- "That for the purpose of Sections 260A and 260B of the Corporations Act 2001, and for all other purposes approval is given for Hardware & Building Traders Proprietary Limited, HBT, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company, to provide financial assistance to Stealth, including under any amendments, restatements or replacement of the finance documents and to any related security or guarantee in connection with pre-existing acquisition-related finance arrangements for HBT to accede as a guarantor arising from the acquisition by Stealth of all the ordinary shares in HBT, as further described in the explanatory notes that accompany this notice."

If you require any assistance, please raise your hand, and I'll pause while voting papers are completed. Would you please raise your hand if you require any more time to complete and lodge your voting papers? Matt's now collecting those papers.
