Thank you. A press release with our first half 2019 financial results and second quarter business update became available earlier today and can be found on the News and Events section of our website. Before we start, I would like to go to Slide 2 to remind you that forward-looking statements maybe presented during this call. This may include statements about our future expectations, clinical development, regulatory timelines, the potential success of our product candidates, financial projections and upcoming milestones. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these statements. argenx is not under any obligation to update statements regarding the future or to conform those statements in relation to actual results, unless this is required by law. I am joined on the call today by Tim Van Hauwermeiren, Chief Executive Officer; Keith Woods, Chief Operating Officer; and Eric Castaldi, Chief Financial Officer. On Slide 3, you will see a brief agenda for the call. We will start with recent news followed by a pipeline update. Keith will talk about commercial preparations for our lead asset, efgartigimod and its first indication, generalized myasthenia gravis. Eric will then provide financial results for the first 6 months of the year and Tim will end the prepared remarks with upcoming milestones before we start the question and answer portion of the call. And with that, I’d like to turn the call over to Tim.
