Good morning. My name is Maria and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Athene’s Second Quarter 2019 Earnings Conference Call and Webcast. All participant lines have been placed in a listen-only mode to prevent any background noise. After the speakers’ remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session.
