NOTICE OF CHANGE OF LOCATION
OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON MAY 12, 2020
Due to health and safety concerns related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, recommendations, and orders from various federal, state, and local governmental authorities, and out of an abundance of caution to support the health and well-being of our stockholders, employees, and community, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the location of the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (“Forum,” “we” or “our”) has changed.
New Location: https://web.lumiagm.com/229563824
As previously announced, the Annual Meeting will be held at 8:00 a.m., Central Daylight Time, on May 12, 2020. However, the Annual Meeting will now be held in a virtual meeting format only. There will be no physical meeting, and you will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person.
As described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting previously distributed to stockholders, you are entitled to participate in and vote at the Annual Meeting if you were a stockholder of record as of the close of business on March 18, 2020, the record date for the Annual Meeting, or hold a legal proxy for the Annual Meeting provided by your bank, broker, or nominee.
The Annual Meeting will be held at https://web.lumiagm.com/229563824. To be admitted to the Annual Meeting, you must enter the 16-digit control number found on your proxy card/voting instruction form. We intend to offer the same participation opportunities as would be provided at an in-person meeting. You may vote and submit questions during the Annual Meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website.
You may begin to log into the online platform for the Annual Meeting beginning at 7:00 a.m., Central Daylight Time, on May 12, 2020. A support line will be available on the meeting website to answer questions on how to participate in the Annual Meeting.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote and submit your proxy in advance of the Annual Meeting by one of the methods described in the proxy materials previously distributed for the Annual Meeting. The proxy card included with the proxy materials previously distributed will not be updated to reflect the change in location of the Annual Meeting and may continue to be used to vote your shares in connection with the Annual Meeting.
If you have already voted, no additional action is required. The proxy materials contain important information regarding the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting, and we encourage you to read them. Your vote is very important to us.
