Roald Goethe
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to our 2026 Annual General Meeting. I’m Roald Goethe, Chair of the Tullow Board. It is now 11:00 a.m. A quorum is present, and I declare the meeting open. I’d like to start by introducing the independent nonexecutive directors of your Board, Rebecca Wiles, Garrett Soden, Euan Shirlaw and James Peterkin. And the Executive Directors to my left, Ian Perks, Chief Executive Officer; and Richard Miller, Chief Financial Officer.
Before turning to the formal part of the meeting, I would just like to mention a few housekeeping points. The fire exits are located on the immediate left as you exit this room, and we do not expect any fire alarm tests during this meeting. Today’s proceedings are being recorded.
The format for today’s meeting is that I will chair the meeting, and I ask Ian Perks, our CEO, to provide an update on the business. This will be followed by a question-and-answer session with the Board of Directors. We will then move to the formal part of the meeting as we vote on the resolutions we have put forward.
All proxy votes received by post or online ahead of the deadline will be included in the results. All the votes taken today will be taken by a poll rather than on a show of hands. It is intended that the results of all the votes will be announced to the London and Ghana Stock Exchanges and published on the company’s website as soon as possible after the conclusion of the AGM later today.
I will now hand
