Artis Real Estate Investment Trust (AX.UN:CA) Shareholder/Analyst Call Prepared Remarks Transcript

Elisabeth Wigmore

Thank you so much. This is a long script today. And unfortunately, David Attenborough and others were not available to do it, so you’re stuck with me. My apologies.

Okay. Good morning. My name is Lis Wigmore, and I am a Trustee and the Chair of the Special Committee of the Board of Trustees. I will act as Chair of this meeting. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, all of whom are in attendance today, I welcome you to the special meeting of the holders of common units, Series E preferred units and Series I preferred units of Artis Real Estate Investment Trust.

This meeting is being conducted in a hybrid format, both in person and virtually through the Lumi Connect meeting platform. Lumi Connect allows registered unitholders and duly appointed proxy holders to vote and submit questions to the moderator to be read and addressed at the meeting. In-person attendees may approach a microphone when recognized. The formal business of the meeting will be followed by a question-and-answer session, during which in-person attendees may ask more general questions.

Before proceeding with the formal business of the meeting, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce the trustees who are present today. I’ll ask them to raise their hand as their name is read. Heather-Anne Irwin, Samir Manji, Jacqueline Moss, Ben Rodney, Mike Shaikh, and myself, Lis Wigmore. I would also like to introduce members of our senior management team here with us today, Samir Manji, President and CEO; Jaclyn Koenig, CFO; Kim Riley, COO; and Kara Watson, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.
