GRAHAM HODGES: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Graham Hodges, and I'm the Chairman of your company. On behalf of the Board, I welcome you to our Annual General Meeting.
I would like to start by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land upon which we meet today, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, and pay my respects to elders, past and present, and to any aboriginal people here with us today.
To all those present with me at the RACV Club in Melbourne, please note the location of your nearest exit in the unlikely event we need to evacuate the building. To assist with the conduct of the meeting, please switch off any mobile phones, cameras or other electronic devices for the duration of the meeting.
I would also like to extend a warm welcome to those attending using the online platform. Should we experience any technical issues during the course of the meeting, you will be notified of steps to be undertaken by the moderator. I've been informed that a quorum is present. And now, as it's a little after 10:00, I declare the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Regis Healthcare Limited open.
A notice of meeting has been distributed and will be taken as read. Details about how shareholders can attend using the online platform have been sent out in the notice of meeting. I appreciate that some shareholders may have to leave before the end of the meeting. I, therefore, now formally open the poll on resolutions and encourage shareholders who have joined online to ask their written questions now. (Operator Instructions) Voting in today's meeting will be conducted on a poll through the online meeting platform and voting cards for shareholders physically attending. As we move through the items of business, I will respond to questions from shareholders and proxies.
Before I proceed to the formal business of the meeting, I'm pleased to introduce your Board of Directors. To my left, Dr. Linda Mellors, Managing Director and CEO; Mr. Ian Roberts; Ms. Sally Freeman; Mr. Bryan Dorman; and Professor Christine Bennett. I would also like to welcome the members of our executive team who are in attendance today.
Those physically attending the RACV, please feel free...
