Tony C. McKim, President and CEO, noted that “In light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, for the safety of all concerned, including our shareholders, and taking into account recent federal, state and local guidance that has been issued, we have determined that the 2020 Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only, via the Internet, with no physical in-person meeting.”

Only one shareholder per control number can access the meeting. If you are not a shareholder or do not have a control number, you may still access the meeting as a guest, but you will not be able to participate.

During the meeting, we will answer as many questions that are submitted online by shareholders (whether prior to or during the portion of the meeting when questions may be submitted) as time permits. However, we reserve the right to edit inappropriate language or to exclude questions that are not pertinent to meeting matters or that are otherwise inappropriate. If we receive substantially similar questions, we will group such questions together and provide a single response to avoid repetition.
