Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Copperleaf Technologies, Inc. The meeting will now come to order. I'm Amos Michelson, and I'm the chair of the board of directors of Copperleaf Technologies, Inc. I will act as chair of the meeting. Our meeting today is being held virtually. It is hosted on the Lumi Virtual Shareholder Meeting platform. This allows registered shareholders to vote and to submit questions and comments to the moderator, to be read and addressed at the meeting. If you have a question or comment, please submit it through the system now, and we will answer at the appropriate time. I shall ask Sandra MacKay, Corporate Secretary of the company, to act as secretary of the meeting, and Leslie MacFarlane, representative of Odyssey Trust Company, the company transfer agent, to act as scrutineer. I've received confirmation from Odyssey as to the due mailing of the meeting materials and the financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2022. I direct that this confirmation, together with copies of these documents, be kept by the secretary with the minutes of this meeting. Business may be transacted at this meeting if two or more persons are present, holding or representing by proxy, not less than 25% of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting. The scrutineer's report has now been received, and it shows that there is a quorum of shareholders present at the meeting. I direct that the scrutineer's report be kept by the secretary with the minutes of this meeting. I now declare that the meeting is regularly called and properly constituted for the transaction of business. We will conduct each vote by way of votes cast on the Lumi platform and those submitted by proxy. I understand that the scrutineers have tabulated all the votes received prior to voting cutoff. We will now open the voting for all of the resolutions. You will see the voting mechanism on the Lumi platform. If you have previously voted, you do not need to vote again when prompted. By voting again, you will revoke any previous vote made prior to voting cutoff. Particulars of the votes cast on all matters may be obtained from the secretary after the meeting. I direct that the scrutineer's report on all matters be annexed to the minutes of this meeting as scheduled. I would first like to present the financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2022. These are located on the Lumi dashboard page under the Documents tab. The next item of business is to fix the number of directors. I move the number of directors to be elected at this meeting to be fixed at seven. I second the motion. Is there any discussion or questions submitted from any registered shareholder or proxyholder on this particular motion? This may be submitted using the Lumi platform message board feature. Okay, there are no comments. The next item of business is the election of directors of Copperleaf Technologies, Inc. I will now entertain the nominations for seven positions as directors of Copperleaf Technologies, Inc. I nominate Amos Michelson, Manuel Alba-Marquez, Michael Calyniuk, Rolf Dekleer, Judi Hess, Eric MacDonald, and Paul Sakrzewski as directors of Copperleaf Technologies, Inc., to hold office until the next annual election of directors or until their successors are elected or appointed. I second the motion. Is there any discussion or questions submitted from any registered shareholder or proxyholder on this particular motion? Okay, if not, the next item of business is the appointment of auditors. I move that KPMG LLP be appointed auditors of Copperleaf Technologies, Inc. until the next annual meeting or until their successor is appointed, and that their remuneration as such be fixed by the board of directors. I second the motion. Is there any discussion or questions submitted from any registered shareholder or proxyholder on this particular motion? If not, this voting has been enabled for all previous motions. If a shareholder has not voted yet, please do so. We will pause for a moment to allow any shareholders who have not finished voting to do so now. Thank you, everyone. The voting is now closed. I have been advised by the scrutineers that all the resolutions have been approved by more than the requisite majority, and that those nominated have been duly elected as the directors of the company. Consistent with the company's majority voting policy, with each nominee having more votes in favor of their election than were withheld. I declare the motions carried, and the nominees for the board of directors elected. With the forward, formal business of the meeting concluded, I will now entertain a motion the meeting be terminated. I move this meeting be terminated. I second the motion. I declare the formal portion of the meeting terminated, and now invite Paul Sakrzewski, Copperleaf CEO, and a director of the company, to make some closing remarks. Thank you, Amos. I would like to thank our shareholders who've participated in the meeting today, by proxy or in person, for your support. It's my honor to serve on the board of the company and as the CEO. Our team will continue to do our utmost in the coming year to deliver value to our investors and our clients, while being a responsible employer and a corporate citizen. We will report regularly to you on our progress. Thank you all.
