Important Shareholder Meeting Information from Horizon Investments and Horizon Funds
August 25, 2021
Horizon Investments recently announced a strategic investment from Altamont Capital Partners that is designed to further our position as a leader in goals-based investment solutions. In connection with this corporate transaction, the Horizon Funds are required to seek shareholder approval, and we’re writing to let you know that this proxy voting process is underway.
Here’s a link to the press release, if you missed it.
For Fund Shareholders
Proxy materials will be sent on or around August 25, 2021. Shareholders will receive a hard copy proxy mailing, including a proxy statement, ballot(s), and business reply envelope, unless they have opted for e-delivery of proxy materials via email from their brokerage firm.
As part of this effort, our proxy solicitation firm, AST, is making phone calls to shareholders of Horizon Funds. We’re aware that these types of calls may raise concern in this age of cybersecurity. Please be assured that these calls are friendly reminders to vote - and we will not be asking for any sensitive personal information.
Voting Instructions
To vote, please follow the instructions on the proxy card communication. The e-delivery email or proxy card will be required to cast a vote, as each of these documents has a “control number” specified for each shareholder.
Note that we will send a follow-up communication to shareholders who have not yet cast their vote as the meeting approaches.
If shareholders have any questions about the special meeting agenda, or about how to cast his or her proxy vote, please call our proxy solicitation firm at 1-877-361-7968. Representatives will be available to assist Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern time.
For Financial Advisors
We want you to know that your clients who hold Horizon Funds may receive phone calls from our proxy solicitation firm, AST, to gather feedback and achieve a voting quorum. We would appreciate your help in encouraging your clients to cast their votes in a timely manner. Once a shareholder has voted, they will be removed from future call and mail lists.
