Welcome to the XS Financial Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders. I would now like to turn the conference over to David Kivitz, CEO. Please go ahead, sir. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the annual and special meeting of XS Financial Inc. The meeting will now come to order. I am David Kivitz, and I'm the Chairman of the Board of Directors of XS Financial Inc. I will act as chair of the meeting. As the COVID-19 crisis prevents us from holding our meeting in person, it is hosted on the Lumi virtual shareholder meeting platform. This allows registered shareholders to vote and to submit questions and comments to the moderator to be read and addressed at the meeting. If you have a question or comment, please submit it through the system now and we will answer at the appropriate time. Following the formal portion of our meeting today, as President and Chief Executive Officer, I will make some brief remarks. After these remarks, I will address any questions. I shall ask Talia Shewchuk to act as secretary of the meeting and Bryce Docherty, representative of Odyssey Trust Company, to act as scrutineer. I have received confirmation from Odyssey as to the due mailing of the meeting materials and the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. I direct that this confirmation, together with copies of these documents, be kept by the secretary with the minutes of this meeting. Business may be transacted at this meeting if two or more persons are present, holding or representing by proxy, not less than 25% of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting. The scrutineer's report has now been received, it shows that there is a quorum of shareholders present at the meeting. I direct that the scrutineer's report be kept by the secretary with the minutes of this meeting. I now declare that the meeting is regularly called and properly constituted for the transaction of business. I am Antony Radbod, and I'm the Chief Operating Officer and Member of the Board of Directors of XS Financial Inc. We'll conduct each vote by way of vote cast on the Lumi platform and those submitted by proxy. I understand that the scrutineers have tabulated all votes received prior to voting cut-off. If you have previously voted, you do not need to vote again when prompted. By voting again, you will revoke any previous vote made prior to voting cut-off. We will now open the voting for all of the resolutions. Particulars of the vote cast on all matters may be obtained from the secretary after the meeting. I direct that the scrutineer's report on all matters be annexed to the minutes of this meeting as a schedule. As the first order of business, I would like to present the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. These are located on the Lumi dashboard page.
