I request that Michael Bennett, the corporate secretary of Surge, act as secretary of the meeting and Paul Bedard of Odyssey Trust Company to act as scrutineer. Proof of mailing of the notice of meeting, information circular and form of proxy to the registered shareholders of the corporation has been filed with me by the Secretary. Unless there are any objections, I will dispense with the reading of the notice of meeting and direct that a copy of the proof of mailing be appended to the minutes of the meeting. The preliminary scrutineer's report has been received, and it shows the required threshold for quorum of the meeting has been met. I direct that a copy of the scrutineer's report be kept with the minutes of the meeting. I declare the meeting is regularly called and properly constituted for the transaction of business. There are three items of business to consider at today's meeting. The fixing of the number of directors to be elected, the election of directors, and the appointment of auditors. We will conduct the votes on each matter before us by electronic vote. The first item of business is the presentation of the financial statements of the corporation for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2025, and the report of the auditors thereon. The financial statements and auditor's report were mailed to each shareholder of the corporation who is entitled to receive them and have been posted on the corporation's website and filed on the corporation's profile on SEDAR. Shareholders who have therefore had an opportunity to review these documents. We will dispense with the reading of the financial statements and the auditor's report. No action is required by the shareholders on these financial statements, I now declare that the financial statements of the corporation for the fiscal period end of December 31, 2025, and the report of the auditors thereon, have been received by the shareholders as submitted to this meeting. The next item of business is the fixing of the number of directors for election at the meeting. In the information circular, it is proposed that nine individuals be nominated for election to the board of directors. I would request a motion that the number of directors for the ensuing year be set at nine. Mr. Chair, my name is Stephanie McNeill, and I'm a shareholder.

The nominations which have been made are in order. Since the number of nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected by the shareholders, I request a motion that the nominees be elected as directors of the corporation to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders, or until their successors are elected or appointed.
