Good afternoon, everyone and thank you for participating in The Metals Company Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Corporate Update Conference Call. Joining us today are The Metals Company, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Gerard Barron; and Chief Financial Officer, Craig Shesky. Following their remarks, we will open the call for your questions.

Before we go further, I would like to turn the call over to CFO, Craig Shesky, as he reads the company’s Safe Harbor statement within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that provides important cautions regarding forward-looking statements and information about the use of non-GAAP measures.

Craig, please go ahead.
