Diane Smith-Gander
Good morning, everyone. My name is Diane Smith-Gander, and I’m the Chair of Perenti. It’s now 10:30 a.m. Perth time, and I welcome all shareholders to the company’s 2025 Annual General Meeting, both here in person and online through the virtual meeting platform provided by our share registry, MUFG Corporate Markets Limited.
If we experience any technical issues today, a short recess or an adjournment may be required, depending on the number of shareholders affected. If this occurs, I’ll advise you accordingly. As we have a quorum present, I now declare the Annual General Meeting open.
I acknowledge the traditional owners of the various lands from which we meet today, including the Whadjuk people of the Nunga Nation. We also acknowledge any aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people participating in this meeting. I pay my respects to elders past, present and emerging and recognize and celebrate the diversity of Aboriginal peoples and their ongoing cultures and connections to the lands and waters of Australia.
I’m joined at this meeting by Mark Norwell, our Managing Director and CEO; Alex Atkins, an Independent Non-Executive Director; Andrea Hall, an Independent Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee; Tim Longstaff, an independent Nonexecutive Director and Chair of the People and Remuneration Committee; Craig Laslett, an independent Non-Executive Director; Andrea Sutton, an independent Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Safety and Sustainability Committee; and Greg Walker, an Independent Non-Executive Director who recently joined the Perenti Board.
I’m also joined by our group Executive Committee members, Michael Ellis, our Chief Financial Officer; Gabrielle Iwanow, President, Contract Mining; Ben Davis, President, Drilling Service; Raj Ratneser, President, Mining and Technology Services; Paul Muller, Chief Corporate Services
