Jacynthe Cote
Good morning, everyone.
[Interpreted] Welcome to our 2026 Annual Meeting of Common Shareholders.
I’m Jacynthe Cote, and I have the privilege of being Chair of the Board of Royal Bank of Canada. I am honored to acknowledge the land we are gathered on today. We are in Toronto, the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of Credit First Nation, the Anishinabeg, the Chippewa and the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples. And we are Treaty 13 territory. These traditional territories continue to be home to many indigenous people, and I’m grateful to be on this land.
With me on stage, Dave McKay, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Jessica Clinton, Senior Vice — Senior President, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. I will act as Chair of the meeting, and Jessica will be our Secretary. Pina Pacifico and Joseph Chirico, officers of our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, will be our scrutineers. Also present are members of the Board of Directors and senior management.
As notice of the meeting has been duly given and a quorum of common shareholders is present, I now call the Annual Meeting of Common Shareholders to order.
[Interpreted] As always, the meeting will be conducted in English and French.
Participants may select the language of their choice depending on whether they are attending the meeting in person or online.
