Thank you. Good afternoon and welcome to the 2025 annual general meeting of the shareholders of Vermilion Energy. My name is Myron Stadnick and as chair of the board of directors of Vermilion, it is my responsibility and privilege to act as the chair of this meeting. I welcome our registered shareholders, proxy holders, and all guests that are joining this meeting through our virtual meeting platform. We are excited to have your participation in the meeting And thank you for your interest in the affairs of Vermilion. As per our custom, Vermilion acknowledges the traditional lands on which we work and live. We respect the histories, languages and cultures of the Indigenous people where we operate and their continuing connection to the land, waters and community. And we pay our respects to elders past and present. I would now like to introduce the other independent directors of Vermilion here with us today. James Kleckner Jr., Karen Nickel, Stephen Lark, William Roby, Manjeet Sharma, and Judy Steele. I would also like to introduce Dion Hatcher, our president and CEO and director, and Lars Blemzer, our vice president and CFO. In addition, present on this call are members of our executive team. In terms of our agenda today, I will deal first with the formal business of the meeting as described in the circular. Immediately following the formal business, Dion Hatcher will provide you with an overview of our business and strategy. A question period will then follow. As this meeting is being held virtually by a live webcast, I will now ask Tamar Epstein, our general counsel and corporate secretary, to go over the procedures for the orderly conduct of this meeting.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will now review the procedures. Only registered shareholders and proxy holders who have properly logged in with their control numbers or username will be able to vote on the motions being brought forth or ask questions. Questions in respect of a motion can be submitted by any registered shareholder or proxy holder using the instant messaging service of the virtual interface. Questions will be forwarded to the chair shortly after they are submitted, but will only be addressed if they relate to procedural matters or to the motions before the meeting. Questions which do not relate to procedural matters or to the motions before the meeting will be addressed during the question period at the end of the meeting. Questions which were already answered or that are redundant or repetitive will not be addressed and all matters will be conducted by electronic ballot. The polls have been opened by our scrutineers and registered shareholders and proxy holders who have not already voted or who wish to change their votes may do so in each business item until the polls are closed following the presentation of the formal business. If we encounter any technical difficulties with the webcast, please remain logged on and we will resume as soon as possible.
