If you participate in today's meeting and disclose personal information, you will be deemed to consent to the recording, transfer, and use of that information. If you disclose personal information of another person at today's meeting, you will be deemed to represent and warrant to Computershare and the corporation that you first obtained the requisite consent for the disclosure, recording, transfer, and use of such personal information from all relevant persons. Thank you, operator. Good morning, everyone. My name is Alain Rhéaume, and I'm Chair of the Board of Boralex. My name is Alain Rhéaume, Chair of the Board of Boralex. I would like to welcome you all to our shareholders' annual meeting. I'd like to welcome all of you to our shareholders' annual meeting. Please note that this meeting will be conducted in French. Any shareholder may ask a question in English, and we will be pleased to answer in English as well. Once again, this year, we're holding the meeting virtually. The board of directors of Boralex believes that with the evolution of technology during the pandemic years, the virtual format has become more effective in reaching a maximum number of shareholders. We have also chosen this year to focus our efforts on the formal part of the meeting. Since communication forums such as investor days, ESG panels, and other events such as our quarterly web meetings are much more effective ways of communicating management's message to its shareholders, today's meeting will not include a presentation by management on the corporation's outlook and financial results. 2022 took place against the backdrop of a global energy crisis and the desire to accelerate the development of renewable energies on the part of many governments around the world, which created many business opportunities for Boralex, including exceeding the growth objectives of its strategic plan, among other things, through well-targeted acquisitions. The partnership entered into at the beginning of the year with global investment manager Energy Infrastructure Partners, which has substantially increased Boralex's financial flexibility. The development of several projects in Quebec, a significant advance in the United States, and a business acquisition in the United Kingdom, and the signing of an agreement with Hydro-Québec and Énergir to develop three projects of 400 MW each on the Seigneurie de Beaupré territory. In addition, the board of directors has continued its efforts to improve its governance, in particular by increasing the geographic, gender, ethnic, and market experience diversity of the board of directors, by taking charge of the establishment and implementation of the CSR strategy, as well as the promotion and monitoring of Boralex's actions in this regard, and by supporting management in reviewing Boralex's management model, which is now based on geographical business units. All of this has been accomplished against the backdrop of ecological, energy, and financial upheaval. The board of directors is proud of the work accomplished. The current environment is more favorable than ever for the renewable energy sector, which puts Boralex in an excellent position for growth. Governments want to accelerate the energy transition to reduce their economy's GHG emissions and decrease their dependence on fossil fuels. High energy prices are leading more and more customers to protect themselves by signing long-term power purchase agreements. At Boralex, our flux cash flow, discretionary cash flow, and strong balance sheet enable it to exceed its ambitions. Boralex is more than ever a reference in its industry. I now call the meeting to order. I will act as chair of the meeting. Boralex's management representatives are present at this meeting with me. I'm here with Patrick Decostre, President and Chief Executive Officer, Bruno Guilmette, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Pascal Hurtubise, Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer. Pascal Hurtubise will act as secretary of the meeting. Hello, Patrick. Hello, Alain. Hello, Bruno. Hello, Alain. Hello, Pascal. Hello, Alain. I would first ask the secretary of the meeting, Pascal Hurtubise, to explain some of the procedures for the meeting. Thank you, Alain. As the meeting is held virtually via a live audio website, we feel it's necessary to establish a few rules to ensure the smooth running of the meeting. As described in the management proxy circular, the duly appointed proxy holders were required to register with our transfer agent to obtain a control number prior to this meeting in order to attend, vote, and ask questions. Accordingly, only registered shareholders or their duly appointed proxyholders may participate, ask questions, and vote at the meeting. All other proxyholders may attend the meeting as guests. Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders who wish to submit a question or ask a question about a motion may do so using the instant messaging feature of the virtual interface. Please note that there may be a slight delay in the posting of communications received. When asking a question, please indicate your name, the entity you represent, if applicable. Questions will be addressed only during the question period at the end of the meeting. Procedural questions or questions directly related to a motion before the meeting may be addressed during the meeting. Questions or comments that contain inappropriate language or disrupt the flow of the meeting will not be posted and will be ignored. Questions that have already been answered or that are redundant or repetitive will be ignored. For the purposes of today's meeting, all matters will be voted on by means of a single electronic vote. Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders will be asked to vote on each item of the business after the presentation of all such items, therefore, at only one time. When invited to vote, you will receive a message on the virtual interface asking you to register your votes. You will have enough time to vote on each item, but note that you will have a time limit to do so. Thank you, Pascal. I would now direct the secretary to file the notice of meeting, the voting proxy form, and the statutory declaration that these documents were mailed to the shareholders on March 30th, 2023, and to retain them in the records of Boralex. The documents are tabled. Thank you, Pascal. Representatives of Computershare Inc, the transfer agent, and registrar of Boralex, are acting as scrutineers for this meeting. They will be counting the proxy votes and votes cast online today. I'm advised that the report on the attendance at this meeting is now ready. I would ask them to please read it to us. Mr. Gilbert from Computershare, please. Yes. Good morning, Mr. President, Chairman. The scrutineers to the services of the shareholders of Boralex Inc. vow that there are at least two shareholders that are either present in person or by proxy, 73.9% of all the shares that have been issued for Boralex Inc. I submit this document. It is signed by me and the scrutineer, Gilbert. Thank you, Mr. Gilbert. I hereby declare the meeting duly convened and validly constituted to deal with the matters on the agenda. As mentioned by the secretary earlier, all ballots will be cast on all matters to be voted on using a single electronic ballot. At the appropriate time, you will receive a message on the virtual interface asking you to vote. You will have a limited time to do so. Once all items on the meeting's agenda have been voted on, the scrutineers will tabulate the votes for each item. The next item on the agenda is the receipt of Boralex's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2022, and the independent auditor's report. I would ask the secretary to file the consolidated financial statements of Boralex for the year ended December 31st, 2022, together with a report of the independent auditor thereon, as well as a statutory declaration that a copy of such documents has been mailed on March 30th, 2023, to all shareholders who have requested them. The documents are tabled then. Thank you, Pascal. The next item on the agenda is the election of the 11 nominees proposed by management for election as directors of the corporation. Under the advance notice by-law adopted by the board of directors on March 1st, 2018, and ratified by the shareholders on May 9th, 2018, a process must be followed, and certain deadlines must be met in order to nominate a candidate for a director position. As no other nominations have been made in accordance with this by-law, only the nominations set forth in the management proxy circular will be voted on. May a registered voter of Class A shares or a proxyholder of a holder of shares now make a motion for the nomination of the 11 proposed nominees? My name is Pascal Hurtubise, shareholder. Mr. Chairman, I propose a nomination of each of the following persons for election as directors of Boralex. Mr. André Courville, Ms. Lise Croteau, Mr. Patrick Decostre, Mr. Ghyslain Deschamps, Mrs. Marie-Claude Dumas, Ms. Marie Giguère, Ms. Ines Kolmsee. Mr. Patrick Lemaire. Mr. Alain Rhéaume. Mr. Zin Smati. Mrs. Dany St-Pierre. Thank you, Pascal. Can a registered shareholder of Class A shares or a proxyholder of a holder of shares now make a motion for the election of each of these persons? Mr. Guilmette, perhaps? My name is Bruno Guilmette, shareholder. Mr. Chairman, I move that each of the 11 nominees be elected as a member of the board of directors of Boralex until the next annual meeting or until its successor is elected. Thank you, Mr. Guilmette. Is this motion supported? My name is Pascal Hurtubise, shareholder. Mr. Chairman, I support this motion. Thank you, Mr. Hurtubise. The motion was duly made and seconded. As mentioned at the beginning of the meeting, the voting rights will now be exercised through a single electronic vote. We will continue with the next item on the agenda. The next item on the agenda is the appointment of the independent auditor for the year 2023. The board of directors and the audit committee recommend that PricewaterhouseCoopers, a firm of chartered professional accountants, be appointed as the independent auditor of Boralex. I believe that Patrick Decostre would like to make a proposal in this regard. My name is Patrick Decostre, shareholder. Mr. Chairman, I move that the firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers, chartered professional accountants, be appointed as independent auditors of the corporation for the year 2023, and that their remuneration be fixed by the board of directors. Thank you, Patrick. Would anyone like to second the motion? My name is Bruno Guilmette, shareholder. Mr. Chairman, I second this motion. Thank you, Bruno. The motion is duly made and seconded. Again, I would like to remind you that voting rights will be exercised today by means of a single electronic ballot. Therefore, we will continue with the agenda. The next item on the agenda is the approval of the say on pay advisory resolution, accepting Boralex's approach to executive compensation as described in the management proxy circular. I think Pascal wishes to present a motion on this. Yes, my name is Pascal Hurtubise, shareholder. I move for the adoption of a non-binding advisory resolution accepting Boralex's approach to executive compensation. Thank you, Pascal. Would Bruno like to second the motion? My name is Bruno Guilmette, shareholder. Mr. Chairman, I second this motion. Thank you, Bruno. The motion was duly made and seconded. As mentioned previously, voting rights will now be exercised through a single electronic ballot. We will now proceed to vote on the items on the agenda, namely the election of directors, the appointment of the independent auditor, and approval of the advisory resolution accepting Boralex's approach to executive compensation. You will now be invited to vote on each of the three items of the agenda when prompted. Please go to the voting page and first press the for or against button next to each director candidate's name. Secondly, press the for or abstain button next to the resolution to appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers as the corporation's independent auditor. Third, press the for or against button next to the advisory resolution accepting Boralex's approach to executive compensation. Once the electronic voting is complete, the voting page will disappear, and your votes will automatically be recorded. We will now wait for a few moments for the electronic ballots to be completed. We'll wait for a few moments for the electronic ballots to be completed, then we'll proceed to the question period. We will now allow the registered shareholders and proxyholders approximately two minutes to complete the electronic ballots. Once voting is complete, I will invite the scrutineers to compile a report of the agenda and of the voting on all items of the agenda. We'll be back in a few moments with the scrutineers' report and the results of the vote. Mr. Gilbert, I await your tally. Mr. Chairman, I'm the scrutineer. The voting period is finished, and we've received the results of the voting, and we've given it to you. Thank you, Mr. Gilbert, and thank you, everyone, for your patience. I've received the scrutineer's report on the preliminary results of the vote, and I can confirm the following.

I'm also pleased to report that the resolution regarding the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as independent auditor of the corporation and the advisory resolution accepting Boralex's approach to executive compensation were both adopted. A press release on the final results of the shareholder vote will be issued later today following this meeting. We're now open to the question period. We'll be pleased to answer any questions that any registered shareholder or duly appointed proxyholder wishes to bring to the attention of this meeting. Please feel free to ask your questions in English if you have any. For each question we answer, we will summarize the question and read out loud the name of the person who asked the question, and if applicable, the name of the entity that person represents. Obviously, questions that have already been answered or that are redundant or repetitive will not be addressed. I ask all participants who wish to ask a question to use the instant messaging feature of the virtual interface to do so. We will answer as many questions as possible. When asking a question, please include your name and the entity you represent, if applicable. Your questions must relate to the business of Boralex or to the items on the agenda of the meeting. Please be brief and to the point. Participants may now take a few moments to type their questions. We'll leave you enough time to type in your questions. Please feel comfortable to do so. The question period will begin now. There being no questions on the virtual interface, and thinking that there would be, we will now conclude the question period. Since there are no other items on the agenda, we thank you for being here. Thank you very much, and take care.
