Questions in respect of a motion can be submitted by any registered shareholder or duly appointed proxy holder at any time by clicking on the message icon. Please note that there will be a slight delay in the publication of the communications received. Two. When asking a question, please indicate your name, which entity you represent, if any, and confirm that you are a registered shareholder or a duly appointed proxy holder. Three. Questions will generally appear shortly after they are submitted, but will only be addressed during the question period at the end of the meeting, provided that questions regarding procedural matters or directly related to the motions before the meeting may be addressed during the meeting. Four. For the purpose of the meeting today, 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 all business items. Five. When you are asked to vote, you will be able to cast your vote by clicking on the buttons for, or withheld, or against, as applicable. These are under the vote icon for each business item. You will only have a certain amount of time to do so when the polls are open. We will now proceed with the formal portion of today's meeting. To expedite the formal part of the meeting, I'll move and second all motions. I now ask that the annual general meeting of shareholders of the company come to order. I appoint Bruno Tamassia, Legal Director of Sigma Lithium, as the secretary of the meeting. For the purpose of this meeting, I appoint Computershare Trust Company of Canada through its representatives as scrutineers to compute the votes of any polls taken at this meeting and report their own to me. Constitution of meeting. The purpose of today's meeting is set out in the management information circular of the company dated May 30th, 2025, the circular. The notice calling this meeting, the circular, and the formal proxy were mailed to shareholders on or around June 3rd, 2025, along with the audited consolidated financial statements of the company for the fiscal period ended December 31st, 2024, and related MD&A to shareholders of the company who will request such statements and related MD&A. Unless there's any objection, I will dispense the reading of the notice of meeting. Copies of the management information circular and other meeting materials are available under the company's profile on the SEDAR+ website. Our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, has attested to proper mailing of the notice calling this meeting. Proof of the service of such mailing has been filed with me, provided by the company's transfer agent. I directed a copy of such proof of service to be annexed to the minutes of this meeting as scheduled. Five. Quorum. The bylaws of the company provide that a quorum at a shareholders' meeting is met if there are two persons present holding or representing by proxy an aggregate of at least 25% of the outstanding common shares of the company entitled to vote at the meeting. I've been provided the preliminary report of the scrutiny, which indicates there are shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at this meeting representing more than 25% of all outstanding common shares of the company present, and therefore a quorum of shareholders of the company is present and the meeting is properly called and duly constituted for the transaction of business. I have received the scrutiny report and I directed the formal report to be annexed to the minutes of this meeting as scheduled. Six. Financial statements. As the first item of business on the agenda for today's meeting, I now present to the meeting the audited consolidated financial statements of the company as at and for the fiscal period ended December 31st, 2024, together with the auditor's report to the shareholders thereon. Copies of such documents have been mailed to the shareholders who requested such statements, and it's not proposed to read them at the meeting. Seven. Resolutions for voting. Eight. Number of directors. The first item of business is to set the number of directors for the ensuing year. Management proposed to set the number of directors to be elected to the board at five. I move and second that the number of directors for the ensuing year be set at five. Unless there are any questions, I will move to the next item of business. B. Election of directors. The next item of business is the election of directors. The company did not receive notice of any director nominations in connection with the meeting in accordance with its advance notice bylaw. Accordingly, the only persons eligible to be nominated for election to the board of directors of the company are the management nominees. The directors elected by the shareholders of the company shall hold office until the close of business of the next annual meeting of shareholders of the company or until the successors are elected or appointed. Ana Cristina Cabral, Marcelo Paiva, Alexandre Rodrigues Cabral, Eugenio de Zagottis, and Junaid Jafar have been nominated as directors for the ensuing year or until the successors are elected or appointed. Each of the persons nominated has confirmed that he or she is prepared to serve as a director. Since there are no other nominations, I move and second that Ana Cristina Cabral, Marcelo Paiva, Alexandre Rodrigues Cabral, Eugenio de Zagottis, and Junaid Jafar be nominated for election as the directors of the company to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until the successor is elected or appointed. Unless there are any questions, I will move to the next item of business. C. Appointment of auditors. The next item of business is the appointment of auditors of the company for the ensuing year and to authorize the directors of the company to fix the remuneration of the auditors. I move and second that Grant Thornton Auditores Independentes Limitada be appointed auditors of the company until the next annual meeting of shareholders and that the board of directors be authorized to fix their remuneration. Unless there are any questions, I will move to the voting portion of the meeting. As we mentioned, voting today will be conducted by electronic ballot. I will now take a moment to ask that the balloting be opened to registered shareholders and appointed proxy holders.
