Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of VIQ Solutions Inc. Please note that the meeting is being recorded. I would like to introduce Larry Taylor, Chair of the Board of Directors of VIQ Solutions. Mr. Taylor, the floor is yours. Thank you, Caroline. Good morning, everyone. I'm Larry Taylor, Chair of the Board of Directors of VIQ Solutions. Welcome to our annual general meeting. Before we begin the formal proceedings, I'd like to acknowledge the members of the board joining us today online, Sebastien Pare, Joe Quarin, and Brad Wells. A special thank you to Yixin Pan and David Sharma, who served as independent directors on the board last year. Their contributions were invaluable. As VIQ progressed from a period of recovery to one of resilience, the board remained firmly focused on evaluating all strategic options to unlock long-term value for shareholders. At the same time, we directed Sébastien and his team, his leadership team, to prioritize the successful completion of our AI-powered platform migrations across all regions. The mandate was clear. Drive measurable productivity gains, expand gross margins, and streamline the business by focusing on operational levers within management's control. During this phase, growth was secondary to executional discipline and financial stabilization, priorities that clearly defined our focus throughout fiscal year 2024. Over the last 18 months, we closely tracked more than 27 go-private transactions across the TSX. Our public company compliance and listing costs exceed $1.2 million annually, and it was both reasonable and expected that shareholders asked whether privatization was the right course of action at this stage. The question was not only considered, it was rigorously explored. The board, with the guidance of independent directors, reviewed multiple credible offers. Ultimately, the board and special committee concluded that remaining public, despite the current disconnect between market valuation and company performance, offered greater long-term upside at this stage. In 2024, we achieved an $8 million year-over-year turnaround in Adjusted EBITDA, expanded gross margins, price increases, improved efficiency across all regions, and there's more to come. This transformation has positioned VIQ for new, scalable, profitable growth without proportional increases in cost. Today's share price still does not reflect these strengthened fundamentals. We know it will take some time as broad markets for small cap stocks, particularly IT stocks, begin to recover. The independent committee and its advisors unanimously agreed the disconnect is real but not structural. As performance continues and investor awareness improves, supported by increasing transparency, new research coverage, and a strengthening balance sheet, we believe the valuation will improve. Remaining public ensures all shareholders retain the opportunity to participate in long-term value we believe will emerge as execution accelerates and market conditions normalize. Sébastien will provide further insight into this process and the company's outlook going forward, following the formal AGM today if his voice hangs in. With all of that, I'll now hand you over to Sébastien, and in the event that his voice does crack, he's not feeling well, Alexie Edwards, our CFO, will jump in. Sébastien, over to you. Thank you, Larry. Welcome everyone to the annual general meetings of the common shareholders of VIQ Solutions Inc. The meeting will now come to order. My name is Sebastien Pare, and I'm the Chief Executive Officer of VIQ Solutions. With the approval of the meeting, I will act as the chair of the meeting.

Appointment of the secretary.

In order that the meeting covers all of the business items within a reasonable period of time, we have pre-arranged with the chair to move and second certain resolutions.
