The business of the meeting will include the election of the Board of Directors, appointment of the auditors, and a vote (on an advisory basis) on our approach to executive compensation. The Say-on-Pay vote approving EQB's approach to executive compensation is a first-time measure and part of our approach to consistently evolving and improving our corporate governance standards.

David LeGresley and Lynn McDonald are not standing for re-election having reached their 12-year term limit. David retires as Chair of the Board (since 2014). We sincerely thank all Directors, including our retirees, for their outstanding leadership and commitment to EQB.

The Board plans to name Michael Hanley as our next Chair, a role he is well suited to perform given his extensive leadership and governance experience which includes serving as Lead Director of Nuvei Corporation, a Nasdaq-listed Canadian fintech company and Director of Lyondell Basell Industries N.V., where he is also the chair of the audit committee. Previously, Mr. Hanley was a Lead Director of BRP Inc., a global recreational products leader, Director of Industrial Alliance Insurance and Financial Services Inc., and a Director of Shawcor Ltd. among others.
