Good morning and welcome to the special meeting of the security holders of EMX Royalty Corporation to consider the proposed acquisition of the company by Elemental Altus Royalties Corp. My name is Michael Nguyen, and I'm Chairman of the Board of Directors and a Director of the Company. We thank you for attending this meeting in person and for your interest in EMX. We also welcome those listening to the meeting via the live broadcast. I will now call the meeting to order. In accordance with the articles of the company, I shall preside as Chair of the meeting. For purposes of this meeting, unless there's an objection, I will ask Brandon Montour, the company's legal counsel, to act as Secretary of the meeting, and Loretta Pataki of Computershare Investor Services, Inc., to act as scrutineer and to compute the votes cast at this meeting, if any, and to report their own to me. Let us proceed with the business of the meeting. The Secretary has advised me that the notice calling this meeting, together with the forms of proxy, the management information circular have been provided, as applicable, to each Director of the Company, the Auditors of the Company, and the security holders of the Company of record, as of the close of business on September 25, 2025, being the record date of the meeting. Affidavits of the mailing have been provided, and I direct the affidavits be annexed to the minutes of this meeting. Accordingly, unless there are any objections, I will dispense with reading of the notice of the meeting. The company has received the results of the proxies up to the proxy voting deadline of 10:00 A.M. Vancouver Time on October 31, 2025, and management will vote those proxies as directed. Prior to addressing the business of the meeting, I'll ask the scrutineer to report the number of security holders present in person and the total number of shares and/or options they represent, together with the number of shares and options represented by proxy. As scrutineer, I report that 124 shareholders holding an aggregate of 50,928,123 common shares were voted by proxy in advance of this meeting or in person at this meeting. The total number of shares voted represents 46.74% of the issued and outstanding common shares. 66 option holders holding an aggregate of 5,993,500 options were voted by proxy in advance of this meeting or in person at the meeting. The total number of shares and options voted represents 97.85% of the issued and outstanding shares and options. Since there is a quorum present, I declare that the meeting is duly and properly constituted for the transaction of business. I direct the scrutineer's complete report on attendance be annexed to the minutes of the meeting. To expedite matters as Chair of the meeting, I will be making the motions to be put forth at this meeting, and such motions need not be seconded. Motions once proposed will be followed by the discussion from the floor, if any. I'd like to take a moment to comment on the voting and other procedures to be used at today's meeting. Voting in all matters of business of this meeting will proceed by way of ballot. Only registered shareholders and option holders, as of the record date for the meeting, or duly appointed proxy holders who are present in person at this meeting are permitted to vote during this meeting. Any non-registered shareholder or security holder attending the live webcast will not be able to vote during the meeting. If you've already voted by proxy, please do not vote again during this meeting, as it will revoke your previous vote. If you're a security holder attending in person and you wish to ask a question, please raise your hand and proceed only when recognized by the Chair. For the registered shareholders and option holders who are in attendance and have not voted in advance, or for the proxy holders who are in attendance in the meeting, voting will be by way of ballot. The registered shareholders, option holders, and proxy holders receive ballots upon checking in and have returned their completed ballots to the scrutineer. The sole item of the business for this meeting is a special resolution approving the plan of arrangement involving EMX, Elemental Altus, and 1554829 B.C. Ltd., as all more particularly described in the management information circular, September 29, 2025. In order to become effective, the arrangement resolution must be approved by at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy entitled to vote at the meeting. At least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by shareholders and option holders voting together as a single class, present in person or represented by proxy entitled to vote at the meeting. And a simple majority of votes cast by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy entitled to vote at the meeting, excluding the votes cast by persons required to be excluded, in accordance with Multilateral Instrument 61-101, as further detailed in the management information circular. Unless there is an objection, I will dispense with reading the arrangement resolution, the full text, which is set forth in Appendix A to the management information circular. I now move for the approval of the arrangement resolution as set forth in Appendix A to the management information circular. Are there any questions? Hearing none, based on the scrutineer's report on voting, I confirm that a sufficient number of votes have been cast in favor of the arrangement resolution. Accordingly, I declare the arrangement resolution motion has been duly carried by the requisite majorities. I direct that the scrutineer's report on voting be included with the minutes of this meeting. That concludes the formal business of this meeting. As there are no other business that has been validly brought forward for the meeting, I declare the meeting to be terminated. Thank you for joining us today, and for those attending online, you may now disconnect.
