The aim of this guide is to support you in the planning and execution of your annual meeting event, with all of the necessary information needed to distribute your proxy material to the beneficial holders of your company’s stock. Your annual meeting is an important event and requires advance work and careful attention to detail. We designed our Annual Proxy Guide to provide you with valuable guidance, documents, and schedules in order to streamline the process. In the following pages, we cover the four phases of an issuer's annual proxy event: planning, distribution, voting and reporting, and billing. You will get information about decisions you need to make, as well as critical timeframes for receiving material and mailing instructions. At Mediant we believe the annual meeting is a powerful way of engaging shareholders. From the design of your printed proxy statement to mobile voting and document hosting websites, our focus is to ensure your branding and messaging are effectively communicated. We firmly believe new forms of digital communications will attract retail investors and get them engaged. Technological innovation, industry expertise, and high-touch customer service are the center of everything we do at Mediant. We believe that advanced technology, superior customer service, and a tailored approach are not mutually exclusive and, together, can be incredibly powerful. We wish you and your firm a successful 2018 proxy season! Sincerely, Jean Luther Director of Operations Introduction
