Good morning, welcome to Hut 8's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. I am Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8. It is my pleasure to welcome you all to this meeting and to introduce Mr. Bill Tai, the Chair of our Board of Directors. Thank you, Asher, welcome everyone. Thank you for joining us here today. We're excited to be hosting Hut 8 Corp's 2026 annual meeting and to be doing so virtually, which allows attendance by a greater number of our stockholders. I will act as Chair of the meeting, and Victor Semah, our Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, will serve as Secretary for this meeting. The company has also appointed Gene Capello to act as Inspector of Election. Gene is with us and has taken the oath of Inspector of Election earlier today. The meeting will now officially come to order. We will proceed with the formal business of the meeting as set forth in your notice of annual meeting and proxy statement. The meeting will be conducted in accordance with the rules of conduct that are available on the meeting website. Our board of directors fixed April 13th, 2026, as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at this meeting. I have an affidavit certifying that a notice of this meeting was mailed to all stockholders of record as of this record date commencing on April 28th, 2026. A copy of the notice of the meeting and the affidavit of distribution will be incorporated into the minutes of this meeting. The stockholder list shows that as of the record date, there were 112,552,646 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at this meeting. We're informed by the Inspector of Election that there are represented in person or by proxy shares of common stock representing at least 83,316,655 votes, or approximately 74% of the voting power on the record date. Since this represents at least 33.3% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock of the company entitled to vote at the meeting, a quorum is present for purposes of transacting business. Victor? I will now proceed with the formal business of this meeting. We have four proposals to be voted on at today's meeting. Voting will commence after all proposals have been presented. The first proposal is the election of eight directors to serve until our 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Our board of directors recommends the following nominees: Joseph Flinn, Asher Genoot, Michael Ho, E. Stanley O'Neal, Carl J. Rickertsen, Mayo A. Shattuck III, William Tai, and Amy Wilkinson. No other persons have been nominated in accordance with the company's bylaws, and therefore nominations are now closed. The second proposal is the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis Section and Related Compensation Tables of our proxy statement. Our board of directors recommend that you vote in favor of this proposal. The third proposal is the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2026. Our board of directors recommends that you vote in favor of this proposal. The final proposal is the approval of an amendment to the Amended and Restated Hut 8 Corp. 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which was approved by our board of directors subject to approval by our stockholders and is described in the proxy statement. Our board of directors recommends that you vote in favor of this proposal. It is now 10:04 A.M. Eastern Time on June 11th, 2026. The polls are now open. Any stockholder who hasn't yet voted or wishes to change their vote may do so by clicking on the voting button on the web portal and following the instructions there. Stockholders who have sent in proxies or voted via telephone or internet and do not want to change their vote do not need to take any further action. I will now pause for any votes to be submitted, and I'll pause for about 60 seconds. Now that everyone has had the opportunity to vote, I now declare the polls for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders closed. Victor? We have been informed by the Inspector of Election that the preliminary vote report shows that the nominees for election to our board of directors have been duly elected, our advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers has been approved, KPMG LLP has been ratified as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2026, and the amendment to the Amended and Restated Hut 8 Corp. 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan has been approved. We will be reporting the final vote results on our current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days. There being no further business. Oh, sorry. Over to you, Bill. No problem, Victor. Okay. There being no further business, the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Hut 8 is now adjourned. Thank you all for attending, and thank you for your continued support. Meeting closed. That concludes our meeting today. You may now disconnect.
