My name is Cam MacDonald, and welcome to the Aventus Annual Investor Day of 2026. We have a really good turnout here in New York. And we welcome a larger audience joining us virtually. So thank you all for taking the time to learn about your company. Many of the Aventus directors are with us here today, but if I may, I would like to warmly acknowledge Deanna Mulligan, our founding CEO and Strategic Advisor of Ceres Life. I would like to start the meeting by thanking everyone at Aventus, Ceres, CCaventus and CC Capital for all their efforts in the past 18 months. There has been a tremendous amount of work accomplished through this past period. Much of it is not yet evident to the shareholders nor in our reported results. However, as a team, we stand before you, confident that the Aventus platform is now positioned to participate and capture significant profitable growth and our goal today is that the presentation from the management teams will provide you insight for our conviction. In keeping with past years, today's agenda will include presentations from all the management teams from Ceres, CCaventus, Aventus and CC Capital. Thereafter, I will return to the podium, providing closing comments and welcome all the questions you may have. In our 2025 annual letter, which was released this past March, we highlighted 6 strategic positions and priorities for our year. Many have been achieved, on track or in progress.
