Good morning. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to Roots Corporation Fiscal 2024 Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders. Before the meeting begins, Roots would like to remind listeners that some of the statements made this morning may contain forward-looking statements. These are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ. Roots refers listeners to the cautionary statements contained in its financial reports and other public documents for full detail. I will now turn the line to Roots Chairman of the Board, Erol Uzumeri. Thank you, operator. Good morning, everyone. On behalf of the board of directors and the company, it's a pleasure to welcome you to the Fiscal 2024 Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders of Roots Corporation, which I now formally call to order. In accordance with our bylaws, Kaleb Honsberger, Roots General Counsel, will act as Secretary of the meeting. I would also ask Louise Waltenbury of Computershare Investor Services, our transfer agent, to act as scrutineer of the meeting. Notice of the annual special meeting was mailed to shareholders on June 17th, 2025. We have received an affidavit of Computershare confirming the mailing. I direct that a copy of this affidavit be kept with the records of the meeting. I have received the scrutineer's preliminary report on attendance at the meeting of shareholders. The Secretary has confirmed there is a quorum present. I would ask that the Secretary file a copy of the scrutineer's report with the minutes of the meeting. Of the approximately $40.2 million issued and outstanding shares, approximately $32.9 million or 82% are represented. I therefore declare the meeting is properly constituted for the transaction of the business for which it has been called. I'll begin today's meeting by outlining how voting and questions will be addressed in this virtual meeting format. Voting on all matters will be conducted by electronic ballot. Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxy holders will be asked to vote on each business item after the presentation of each item. When you're asked to vote, you can do so by using the voting icon on the right side of your screen. You will only have a certain amount of time to do so when the polls are open. If you vote in advance of the meeting and you do not wish to revoke your previously submitted proxy, you do not need to vote during the meeting. Please note that only registered shareholders of duly appointed proxy holders that have logged into the meeting using their control number are entitled to vote or submit questions during the meeting. To submit a question, please use the Q&A feature of the online platform. When submitting a question, please identify whether it relates to a motion being considered as part of the formal business of the meeting, or whether the question is general in nature. We will address questions directly related to a particular motion at the appropriate time of the meeting and save general questions until after the formal business has been completed. Questions with common themes may be grouped together for efficiency. I encourage you to submit your questions as early as possible and to keep your questions brief. I will now turn to our formal business. The items of business of the meeting are described in the Management Information Circular dated June sixth, 2025. There are four items of business to be considered today. First, to receive Roots consolidated financial statements for the 52-week period ended February first, 2025. Second, to elect the directors. Third, to reappoint the auditors and authorize the directors to fix their remuneration. Fourth, to consider and if deemed appropriate, to adopt, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution in the form set out in Appendix A of the Management Information Circular, approving the amendment of the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, increasing the number of common shares authorized for issuance under the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, as more particularly described in the Management Information Circular. To make the best use of our time, I will move and second all proposals which are called for in the notice of the meeting. I'll now place before the meeting the fiscal 2024 consolidated financial statements of the company and the auditor's report thereon. These are included in the annual report, which has been made available to shareholders. No action needs to be taken by shareholders with respect to such financial statements. We will now proceed to the election of directors. It is my pleasure to introduce the other director nominees. Scott Cameron, who's standing for election as a director for the first time today. Phil Bacal. Mary Ann Curran, who will serve as chair of our Audit Committee. Gregory David. Edward Kernaghan, who is standing for election as a director for the first time today. Dale Lastman, our Lead Independent Director. Dexter Peart, and Meghan Roach, our President and CEO. Richard Mavrinac and Joel Teitelbaum have decided not to stand for re-election to the company's board of directors. On behalf of the board and management, I'd like to thank Rick and Joel for their guidance and commitment during their time on the Roots board. Our Management Information Circular detailed biographies setting out the professional qualifications and experience of these nominees. Nine directors are to be elected. All of the nominees have consented to stand for election to the board. Seven proposed nominees are currently members of the board, and two nominees are standing for board election for the first time. In keeping with best governance practices, our shareholders vote for directors individually rather than by a full slate. I'm pleased to report that based on the proxies received by the scrutineer in advance of the meeting, each director nominee received votes in favor of their election from at least 99.8% of votes cast. I will now move and second the nomination of each of the previously mentioned director nominees to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are duly elected or appointed. Our bylaws require that nominations of directors by shareholders be received by the directors at least 30 days in advance of the meeting in order to be valid. As no nominations other than those set forth in the Management Information Circular and included for election at this meeting were received prior to the deadline, the nominations are closed. As this is an uncontested election, the majority voting requirements under the Canada Business Corporations Act will apply. In short, under these requirements, in order for a nominee to be elected as a director, they must receive more votes in favor of their election than against. If a nominee fails to receive a majority of votes cast by shareholders in favor of their election, they will not be reelected, and the board position will remain open. An incumbent director will be permitted to remain in office for a prescribed period. You have now heard the motion for the election of directors. Are there any questions regarding the motion to be voted upon? I'll now invite Kaleb Honsberger to read any questions submitted. I see no questions at this time. Please go ahead, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Kaleb. I'll now ask registered shareholders or duly appointed proxy holders to cast their votes through the online portal. As we mentioned, voting will be conducted by electronic ballot. I'll now take a moment to ask that the balloting be open to registered shareholders and duly appointed proxy holders. The polls are now open. At this point, all registered holders and proxy holders who are properly logged in with their control numbers or invite code and wish to vote will be able to see on the screen all motions being brought forth at this meeting. Please register your votes by accessing the voting page and selecting for or against buttons next to the name of each proposed director nominee. As a reminder, if you have already voted or sent in your proxy, there's no need to do anything unless you wish to change your vote. Thank you for casting your votes. We will now proceed with the next order of business, the reappointment of the auditors of the company for the ensuing year, and to authorize the directors of the company to fix the remuneration of the auditors. The Audit Committee of the board has approved, subject to shareholder confirmation, the reappointment of KPMG LLP chartered professional accountants as the auditors of the company. I move and second that KPMG be reappointed auditors of the company until the next annual meeting of shareholders, and that the board of directors be authorized to fix their remuneration. Are there any questions regarding this motion to be voted upon? I again invite Kaleb to read any questions submitted. I see no questions at this time. Please go ahead, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Kaleb. I'll now take a moment to ask that the balloting be opened and would ask registered shareholders or duly appointed proxy holders to cast their vote through the online portal. At this point, all registered holders and proxy holders who are properly logged in with their control numbers or invite code and wish to vote will be able to see this motion on their screen. As a reminder, if you've already voted or sent in your proxy, there's no need to do anything unless you want to change your vote. Thank you for casting your votes. The polls are now closed. The final item of business to consider, and it seems appropriate to adopt, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution in the form set out in Appendix A to the Management Information Circular. The resolution seeks to approve an amendment of the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the plan, and more particularly, as more particularly described in the Management Information Circular. The proposed amendment to the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan would increase the shares available for issuance under the plan by 405,483 shares. The purpose of the Omnibus Incentive Plan is to promote the alignment of interests of management and other individuals eligible to participate in the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan with those of the shareholders. An increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan will allow Roots to continue to grant awards under the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan to achieve that purpose, as well as to motivate the participants to achieve the company's annual business and strategic objectives and more closely align interests of participants with those of shareholders. The board of directors unanimously supports this resolution and believes that its approval by shareholders is in the best interest of Roots and its shareholders. For this resolution to be approved by the shareholders and to be effective in accordance with applicable law, the resolution must be approved by not less than a majority of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at this meeting. I move and second that the amendment to the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan be approved. Are there any questions regarding this motion to be voted upon? I again invite Kaleb to read any questions submitted. I see no questions at this time. Please go ahead, Mr. Chair. Thank you. I will now take a moment to ask that the balloting be opened and would ask registered shareholders or duly appointed proxy holders to cast their votes through the online portal. At this point, all registered holders and proxy holders who are properly logged in with their control numbers or invite code and wish to vote will be able to see this motion on the screen. As a reminder, if you have already voted or sent in your proxy, there's no need to change or to do anything unless you wish to change your vote. Thank you for casting your votes. The polls are now closed. This brings us to the end of voting on the items of business before the meeting. We have been informed by the scrutineer that the preliminary vote report shows that each of the proposed director nominees has been duly elected as directors of Roots to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until they resign or their successors are duly appointed or elected. Number two, the KPMG LLP chartered professional accounts are reappointed auditors of the company, and that the directors are authorized to fix the auditor's remuneration. Lastly, the amendment to the Omnibus Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of the company available for issuance under the plan by an additional 405,483 shares, as more particularly described in the Management Information Circular, is hereby authorized and approved. There is no further business to be brought before this meeting. I now move and second the formal termination of this meeting and declare the meeting terminated. This concludes the meeting and you may now disconnect.
