David Park
CEO & Director
Good morning, and welcome to the Annual General and Special Meeting of the Shareholders of Standard Lithium. My name is David Park, and I’m the Chief Executive Officer of the company. We’re hosting this year’s meeting virtually via live webcast. Registered and duly appointed proxy holders of the company entitled to vote may attend and vote at the meeting through the virtual webcast. This past year has been highlighted by significant achievements and milestones reached for Standard Lithium.
We made substantial progress in advancing and derisking our world-class lithium projects, including our Southwest Arkansas project as well as our East Texas properties. We continue to work closely with our joint venture partner while strengthening relationships with potential customers and industry leaders. We remain excited about the pathway ahead for our company. Due to personal circumstances, Robert Cross, the Chair of the Board of Directors of Standard Lithium, is not able to attend and preside over the meeting. As such, and in accordance with Standard Lithium’s bylaws, I will preside as Chairperson of the meeting in Mr. Cross’ absence.
Before we get started, as this is a virtual meeting, it’s necessary to set out a few rules for the orderly conduct of the meeting. Only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxy holders are entitled to ask questions and securely vote at the meeting in real time. Only shareholders of record at the close
