Thank you, Chris and good morning. This is an exciting and significant quarter for Origin as we completed the merger with BT Holdings on August 1 and the full system conversion at the beginning of October. When we publicly announced the partnership, I talked about BTH being a unicorn that this is a cultural fit, a geographical fit and a financial fit for both companies. I am proud of the Origin and BTH employees who made this process go so smoothly. The fact that this deal was announced in late February, received regulatory approval in June, closed in August and finalized the system conversion in early October, with flawless execution is a testament to the quality of our people, the strength of our relationships with the communities we serve and the ability of our company to capitalize on the right opportunities.
