All Rights Reserved. 12 2018 Proxy Guide Phase 2: Distribution Once your proxy material is received at our print/mail facility, we will complete the event setup and begin mailing the proxy packages to the beneficial holders of our broker clients. Prior to mailing the material we will confirm that:  Proposals on our VIF or Notice match your Proxy Statement  Correct content is enclosed – Proxy Statement, Annual Report, Voting Instruction Form, etc.  Notice & Access (NAA) instructions are properly followed (if applicable)  Mediant Electronic Voting Sites and Control Numbers are accurate All printing and mailing for our broker clients originates at our facility in New Jersey. The regulatory standard is to mail proxy packages within five days of receipt. We strive to maintain a three business day mailing standard. This is one of the reasons we want to be included in your planning process from the beginning. If we have all of the necessary details about your proxy event, we will be ready to mail as soon as your material arrives. MAILING OPTIONS Postage Several factors influence postage expense: method of delivery, size and weight of package, type of proxy mailing (Notice & Access or Full Set), and the time between when material is received and the meeting date. We recognize the importance of managing postage expense and we do what we can to reduce it.
