Pursuant to the SEC “Notice and Access” proxy rules, companies are permitted to send the enclosed "Notice" instead of a full printed set of proxy materials.
The Notice gives you instructions on how to view your company’s proxy materials and vote online, or how to receive a full set of printed materials by mail.
There are several advantages to your company sending a Notice instead of a full set of materials including lowering your company's costs, and reducing the
environmental impact from printing and mailing full sets of proxy materials.
