The annual general meeting of the shareholders of ESSA Pharma Inc., which I'll refer to as ESSA or the company. I'm David Parkinson, President and Chief Executive Officer of ESSA, and I will act as chair of this meeting. This year the meeting is being held virtually. We've ensured that this virtual meeting offers shareholders the opportunity to participate, to submit questions, and to vote, at the meeting through the Lumi platform. As this meeting is being held virtually via live audiocast, we think it's necessary to set out a few rules for the orderly conduct of the meeting. For the purposes of this meeting, voting on all matters will be conducted by the electronic ballot through the LumiSystem. Only registered shareholders and registered proxy holders are able to vote by electronic ballot. Note that any votes cast by poll during the meeting will supersede any votes previously submitted by proxy, and therefore we recommend that shareholders that have already voted by proxy do not vote on polls taken during the meeting. Those in attendance who have registered as guests are not able to move motions, submit any questions, vote, or take any other action. For efficiency, we'll be opening the polls on all matters to be voted on at the beginning of the meeting once quorum is established. When you are asked to vote on the Lumi platform, you will receive a message on the virtual interface requesting you to register your votes. Electronic balloting will be open throughout the meeting, and once closed, the voting page will disappear and your votes will automatically be submitted. I will provide you with a 30-second warning prior to the polls closing towards the end of the meeting. Thirdly, we will provide you with all voting results for all resolutions at the end of the meeting. For specific vote tabulations, please see the company's report of voting results, which will be posted to the company's SEDAR+ profile at http://www.sedarplus.ca shortly after the meeting. Questions or objections in respect of a motion may be submitted by any registered shareholder or registered proxy holder using the instant messaging service of the Lumi interface. Throughout the meeting, we will pause and provide you with 15 seconds to ask your questions using the instant messaging service on the Lumi interface. If you feel 15 seconds is not enough time, please indicate that you have a question using the instant messaging service and we will pause the meeting until you've had an opportunity to ask your question. Although questions can be submitted throughout the meeting, they will be addressed at the appropriate time during the meeting. Please limit your questions to topics relating to today's subject matter and keep your questions short and to the point. For each question we answer, we will read the question and provide an oral response. Any questions which were already answered or that are redundant or repetitive will not be answered. Unless there's an objection, David Wood, the Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary of the company, will act as secretary of the meeting. David Baines of Computershare Investor Services, which I'll refer to as Computershare, will act as scrutineer of this meeting. If you have an objection or question relating regarding the appointment of the secretary and scrutineer, you now have 15 seconds to submit your objection via the message link. As no objections have been received, I will now move to the constitution of the meeting. Would the secretary please assure us that the meeting has been properly called? I have before me a copy of the statutory declaration evidencing that the notice calling this meeting was mailed to shareholders in accordance with the BC Business Corporations Act and applicable securities legislation. This document is available for any shareholder to read. Therefore, Mr. Chair, this meeting has been properly called. Thank you. Unless there are any objections, we will dispense with the reading of the notice of meeting. As no objections have been received, I dispense with the reading of the notice and will now move to the scrutineer's report and quorum of the meeting. The quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting of shareholders is at least 33 1/3% of the issued shares of the company entitled to vote at the meeting must be present or represented by proxy. I am advised that according to the report of the scrutineer, a quorum is present. The final scrutineer's report will be included with the minutes of this meeting. I now declare that this meeting is regularly called and properly constituted for the transaction of business. I further declare that the polls are now open. As a reminder, you may vote on all items of business at any time throughout the meeting. However, note that any votes cast by electronic ballot will supersede any votes previously submitted by proxy. Therefore, we recommend that shareholders that have already voted by proxy do not vote on the polls taken during the meeting. Now, the minutes of last year's annual general meeting of the shareholders of the company held on March 9, 2023, are available for inspection by any shareholder. I now ask for a motion to dispense with the reading of the minutes of the last annual general meeting. So moved. Is there any discussion on this motion? I will proceed to the next item of business. As the next item of business, I now present the audited financial statements of the company and the report of auditors thereon for the year ended September the 30th, 2023. The audited financial statements and auditor's report have been previously distributed to shareholders who requested such statements. Are there any questions dealing with the financial statements or the auditor's report? You have 15 seconds to submit your question via the message link starting now. As previously indicated, if you need more than 15 seconds to submit your question, please indicate using the message link that you have a question and I will pause the meeting until you've had a chance to ask the question. As there are no questions, I will proceed to the next item of business. The next item of business is setting the number of directors of the company. I now ask for a motion to set the number of directors of the company at 10. So moved. Are there any questions dealing with the setting of the number of directors?

Each of these nominees has previously consented in writing to act as a director of the company. Are there any further nominations? If so, you have 15 seconds to indicate that you wish to nominate another nominee via the message link starting now. As there are no further nominations, I declare the nominations to be closed. I now ask for a motion that the proposed nominees be elected as directors of the company. So moved. As mandated by the company's majority voting policy, it will be necessary to vote for the election of directors by way of ballot.

Now, 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.
