Robert Michaleski

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I'd like to begin by welcoming you to Vermilion's Annual Meeting of Shareholders. We will complete the formal part of this meeting first, and afterwards, Dion Hatcher, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the company, will provide you an overview of the business and the strategy moving forward.

So ladies and gentlemen, the meeting will now come to order. My name is Robert Michaleski, and as Chair of the Board of Directors of Vermilion Energy, it is my responsibility and privilege to chair this Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders of Vermilion.

Jamie Gagner of Lawson Lundell LLP will act as secretary of the meeting, and Nazim Nathoo of Odyssey Trust Company will act as scrutineer. In addition to the registered shareholders, I would like to welcome to the meeting all others present here today.

At this point, I would like to introduce the other independent directors of Vermilion who are present at the meeting today. James Kleckner, Jr.; Carin Knickel; Stephen Larke; Timothy Marchant; Manjit Sharma; Myron Stadnyk and Judy Steele. William Roby is on the Board, but he is traveling to another meeting today, so unable to be here for this meeting.

I would also like to introduce the pencil members of our Executive Committee here today, Dion Hatcher, President and Chief Executive Officer; Lars Glemser, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Randy McQuaig, Vice President, North America; and Darcy Kerwin, Vice President, International, Health and Safety and Environment.

The notice calling this Annual Meeting of Shareholders, along with the information circular and form of proxy were mailed on March 28, 2024, to all shareholders as of the record date for this meeting, being the close of business on March 13, 2024. As part of an ongoing stewardship of the environment, as a cost-saving measure, for the sixth consecutive year, beneficial shareholders received a voting instruction form and a notice and access notification, which includes a link to the meeting materials consisting of the proxy statement, information circular and the 2023 annual report. This procedure for the electronic delivery of meeting materials is known as notice and access and, as mentioned, is an environmentally friendly alternative that is now used by a number of companies.
