Campaigning Process
The Class B nominees may solicit votes in advance of the Annual Meeting; however, such activities are considered a proxy solicitation under the
Securities Exchange Act and need to be conducted in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules governing those solicitations.
Additionally, no written solicitation materials can be mailed or distributed prior to the time we have
mailed the Companys definitive proxy statement to our shareholders
. We expect this mailing to occur in late March.
If you have any questions
about the nomination or election process or the Annual Meeting, please feel free to call Meg Wright at (312)
930-3305.
