CASH 2018 Special Proxy Statement

META STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS Meta held its 2017 annual meeting of stockholders on January 22, 2018. Under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, stockholder proposals to be presented at Meta’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by Meta’s corporate secretary no later than August 6, 2018, to be eligible for inclusion in Meta’s proxy statement and form of proxy related to the 2018 Annual Meeting. Any such proposal will be subject to the requirements of the proxy rules adopted under the Exchange Act, and as with any stockholder proposal (regardless of whether such proposal is included in Meta’s proxy materials), Meta’s certificate of incorporation, Meta’s by-laws and Delaware law. To be considered for presentation at Meta’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, but not for inclusion in Meta’s proxy statement and form of proxy for that meeting, proposals must be received by Meta by the Deadline. As reflected in Meta’s by-laws, the “Deadline” means the date that is 60 days prior to the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 20 days, or delayed by more than 50 days from such anniversary date, to be timely, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Accordingly, the Deadline for proposals with respect to Meta’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is November 23, 2018. Pursuant to Meta’s by-laws, Meta stockholders may nominate a person or persons for election to the Meta board of directors at a meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected by delivering timely notice in writing to its Secretary. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered or mailed to and received at Meta’s principal executive offices not less than 30 days prior to the date of the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than 40 days’ notice or prior disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, to be timely, notice by the stockholder must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. CRESTMARK SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS Crestmark held its annual meeting of shareholders on May 17, 2017. If the merger is completed, Crestmark shareholders will become stockholders of Meta, and there will be no future annual meetings of Crestmark shareholders. LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the shares of Meta common stock to be issued in connection with the merger have been passed upon for Meta by Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP. Certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger have been passed upon for Meta by Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP and for Crestmark by Dickinson Wright PLLC. 143
