Alan Rydge

Well, thank you, ladies and gentlemen. It’s gone 10:00, and I’d like to welcome you to our meeting. I’d like to begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we’re meeting today, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, and I pay my respects to the elders, both past and present. I also welcome you to the meeting of shareholders and extend a warm welcome to shareholders who are participating through our online platform.

We do have a quorum present, and accordingly, I declare the meeting open. I’d like to introduce you now to my colleagues, starting from my right, Mr. Brett Chenoweth; Valerie Davies; David Grant; Jane Hastings, our CEO; from my left, Mr. David Stone, our Company Secretary; Peter Coates and Jenelle Webster. We also have with us today, both in person and online, a number of our executives. Also, Mr. Cameron Slapp from KPMG, the group’s auditors, is in attendance and will be available to answer questions at the end of the meeting.

I’d like to acknowledge that this is Cameron’s last AGM and last signing of our accounts. He’s part of a 5-year rotation, and we thank him for his endeavors and wish you all the very best, Cameron, in the future. And Mr. Daniel Robinson, who is taking over from Cameron is here today, not as an active participant, but will do so after Cameron’s retirement. Friends, every effort has been made to ensure the meeting runs smoothly. However, if any technological issues arise and it becomes necessary to provide procedural information in respect of this meeting, updates will be provided on the company’s website and also through the ASX.
