2018 Annual Proxy Guide

©2018 Mediant Communications Inc. Proprietary & Confidential Information. All Rights Reserved. 8 2018 Proxy Guide NOTICE & ACCESS (NAA) The NAA model allows an issuer to provide materials to shareholders by a Notice Only option. The issuer posts proxy materials on a website other than SEC’s EDGAR site and a Notice to Shareholders is sent to holders informing them of the electronic availability of the proxy materials. This mailing must be initiated at least 40 days prior to the shareholder meeting. The NAA form also contains instructions for shareholders on how to request paper copies of materials. Should a shareholder wish to request a paper set of materials, they may do so for up to one calendar year past the meeting date by notifying Mediant via Internet, telephone or email. Should a shareholder wish to change their election choice from fullset to NAA or from NAA to fullset, Mediant stores the elections and will use them for future proxy distributions. Upon receipt of a request for paper documents, Mediant contacts the issuer or their designee for additional paper sets and forwards them to the shareholder(s) within three business days of receipt. The NAA mailing material will not include a proxy card. Mediant follows your instructions regarding Notice & Access (NAA), stratified or hybrid mailings, and/or full set delivery. Ideally, your broker search will indicate your preference. If you are utilizing NAA, we must have your proxy agenda (proposals) and the link to your electronic proxy documents at least 45 days prior to your meeting date. Additional charges or rush fees may be applied if the agenda is not available at least 45 days prior to meeting date. Phase 1: Planning DID YOU KNOW? We must receive your proxy agenda at least 45 days prior to your meeting date. Receipt of this information after the 45 day cut-off could result in additional fees .
