Nigel Garrard
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Nigel Garrard, and I’m your Chairman for today’s meeting of Ansell Limited. It’s my great pleasure to welcome you to the 2025 Ansell AGM.
Before I open the meeting, I would like to take you through the procedural aspects of today’s meeting. The meeting is being held in person as well as virtually by the Computershare platform, where shareholders, proxy holders and guests can watch the live webcast of the meeting, and shareholders and proxies can ask questions and submit their votes online. A significant number of shareholders have already voted, appointed proxies and submitted questions ahead of this meeting, and I thank them for doing so. Every effort has been made to ensure the meeting runs smoothly. Let’s hope technology works well for the next hour or so. A full recording of this meeting will be provided on our website. For those of you who might be interested in watching it twice, I’m not sure who would want to do that.
I will start today by walking you through the guidelines for asking questions and for submission of votes for those person both here, those people in the meeting today and online. It is my duty as Chair to ensure that shareholders have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the items of business during the meeting. I ask that all questions and comments be concise, be confined to the relevant matters and shareholders as a whole, be informative and respectful. I’ll take questions from those physically present at the meeting first, followed by written and audio questions from participants
