Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the annual and special meeting of the shareholders of Quisitive Technology Solutions Inc. I am Nick Lim, Chairman of the company. We have four items of business to conduct today. Number one, to appoint KPMG LLP chartered professional accountants as the auditors of the company for the ensuing year and to authorize the directors to fix their remuneration. Number two, to fix the number of the directors of the company at six. Number three, to elect the directors of the company. Number four, to reapprove the company's 10% rolling stock and incentive option plan. Once the formal business of the meeting has been completed, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. I will now call the meeting to order. In all accordance with the bylaws of the company, I shall preside as chair of this meeting. I shall ask Scott Meriwether, CFO and Corporate Secretary of the company, to act as secretary of the meeting. I shall ask Victoria Lateva of Computershare Trust Company of Canada to act as scrutineer for the meeting. The next item on the agenda, notice of meeting quorum, motions, and voting procedure. The secretary has advised me that the notice of meeting, together with a form of proxy, management information circular, and request form have been provided to, as applicable, each director of the company, the auditors of the company, and provided to each shareholder of the company off record on June 14, 2024, the record date for the meeting. An affidavit of mailing has been provided by Computershare to the company. I direct that the affidavit be annexed to the meetings of the meeting. I will dispense with the reading of the notice of meeting. The scrutineer has provided me with the preliminary report regarding shareholder attendance and representation at this meeting. The scrutineer reports that they are present at this meeting in person or by proxy 166 shareholders holding 87,778,239 common shares. Accordingly, I declare that the requisite quorum of shareholders is present, and I declare that the meeting is duly and properly constituted for the transaction of business. I direct that the scrutineer's complete report on attendance be annexed to the meetings of the meeting. Before we commence the formal business of the meeting, I would like to provide some opening remarks. While this year's meeting will comply with applicable legislation, our rules of conduct will differ from an in-person meeting. Firstly, each attendee today is being asked to provide their full name prior to joining the platform, and these details have been conveyed to Computershare for the purposes of registration and record-keeping in order to enable them to prepare their scrutineer's report for this meeting. Before we begin, I would like to set out some additional rules for the orderly conduct of the meeting. Number one, any registered shareholders and valid proxy holders present who have either not already voted or who wish to revoke the previously cast vote in order to recast their vote at this meeting today will be able to complete this process when you speak with Computershare. Registered shareholders and valid proxy holders in attendance can do this by pressing star one at the time of voting on matters Computershare will cross-reference your name against the registered shareholder list. If it turns out that you're not on the list, you will not have standing as a registered shareholder at the meeting. Number two, in addition, since voting on this platform cannot be by show of hands, we are doing a poll for each motion and asking that registered shareholders and proxy holders lock their vote in advance for all motions and agenda items when you speak with a Computershare representative. All polling results will be retained with Quisitive's records for this meeting. Number three, voting on all matters will be conducted by telephone. Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxy holders will be asked to vote on each business item. If you have already voted by proxy, it is important that you not vote again here at the meeting unless you intend to change your initial vote. Number four, questions in respect of a motion can be submitted by any registered shareholder or duly appointed proxy holder by pressing star one. When asking a question, please indicate your name, which entity you represent, if any, and confirm that you are a registered shareholder or duly appointed proxy holder. Number five, given the virtual format of the meeting, we would encourage registered shareholders and duly appointed proxy holders who have a specific question on an item of business to be discussed at today's meeting to submit their questions now. Shareholders and participants can ask questions by pressing star one. Number six, questions will be addressed during the question period at the end of the meeting, provided that any questions regarding procedural matters or directly related to the motions before the meeting will be addressed during the meeting. All other questions will be addressed during the questions and answer period at the conclusion of the formal part of the meeting. Number seven, due to the virtual nature of this meeting, voting results will be provided after the completion of the meeting in order to limit the wait time for tabulating the results of votes provided. The next item on the agenda will be the presentation of financial statements. I now place before the meeting the company's audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal period ended December 31st, 2023, together with the auditor's report thereon. These financial statements were mailed to each shareholder who requested a copy and will follow on SEDAR. Accordingly, I will dispense with the reading of the financial statements and auditor's report. The next item on the agenda is appointment of auditors. We will now proceed with the appointment of the auditors of the company. Management has recommended that KPMG LLP Chartered Professional Accountants be appointed as auditors of the company to hold office until the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are appointed and at such remuneration as may be fixed by the directors and the directors be, and they are hereby authorized to fix such remuneration. Computershare has advised me that the shareholders have voted in favor of this motion. Accordingly, the motion is carried. I declare that the resolution appointing the auditors of the company for the ensuing year and authorizing the directors to fix their remuneration has been carried. The next item on the agenda is the number of directors. We will fix that number of directors at six. Computershare has advised me that the shareholder vote is in favor of this motion. Accordingly, the motion is carried. Our next item of business is the election of the directors of the company. Management nominates the following persons as specified in the management information circular delivered with the notice of meeting, namely Mike Reinhart, Laurie Goldberg, Dave Guebert, Amy Brandt, Nick Lim, and Darcy Morris, to be elected to serve as directors of the company to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are duly elected or appointed in accordance with the articles and bylaws of the company. Computershare has advised me that the shareholder vote is in favor of this motion. Accordingly, the motion is carried, and Mike Reinhart, Laurie Goldberg, Dave Guebert, Nick Lim, Darcy Morris, and Amy Brandt have been elected as directors of the company to hold office until the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are duly elected or appointed. We will now proceed with the ordinary resolution, reapproving the company's rolling equity incentive plan in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, as described on page 15 of the management information circular under the heading Summary of 2023 Equity Incentive Plan. This resolution is an ordinary resolution that requires approval of at least a majority of the votes cast thereon by the disinterested shareholders in person or by proxy at the meeting. The board of directors of the company recommends that shareholders vote in favor of this resolution and believes that the passing of this resolution is in the best interest of the company. It appears necessary to vote by ballot on the resolution regarding the reapproval of the incentive plan. I have previously directed that a poll be taken and confirmed that the scrutineer distributed ballots to the registered shareholders and duly appointed proxy holders and provided instructions in the use of the ballot. The scrutineer has presented her report to me, and the resolution regarding the reapproval of the incentive plan has been carried by a majority of the eligible votes cast, and I declare the resolution carried. The next agenda item, meeting's termination of meeting. I hereby declare the meeting adjourned. The next agenda item would be the question period. We will now be pleased to answer any questions that you may have about the company. I will now turn the call over to our operator, Daryl, to provide guidance to the group to ask questions. Thank you. Thank you so much, Mr. Chairman. At this time, there are currently no questions. I'm gonna pass the call back to you if you have any closing comments. As there are no questions in the Q&A, I shall conclude the meeting and terminate the meeting. Thank you. This does conclude today's teleconference. We appreciate your participation. You may disconnect your lines at this time. Enjoy the rest of your day.
