NOTICE OF CHANGE OF LOCATION
OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON TUESDAY, MAY 5, 2020
To Our Shareholders:
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the location of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (the “Company”) has been changed. As previously announced, the annual meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 5, 2020 at 10:00 a.m., local time. However, due to the public health concerns regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the restrictions on in-person gatherings and to support the health and well-being of our employees, directors and shareholders, the annual meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. You will not be able to attend the annual meeting physically.
As described in the proxy materials for the annual meeting previously distributed, you are entitled to participate in the annual meeting if you were a shareholder as of the close of business on March 10, 2020 or if you hold a legal proxy for the meeting provided by your bank, broker, or nominee as of that date. To be admitted to the Annual Meeting, you must go online to www.meetingcenter.io/269411530. To login to the virtual meeting you have two options: Join as a “Guest” or Join as a “Shareholder.” If you join as a “Shareholder” you will be required to enter the control number found on your proxy card and PGC2020 as the password. You may vote during the annual meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website during the meeting. If you do not have your control number, you may attend as a guest (non-shareholder) but will not have the option to vote your shares or ask questions at the annual meeting.
If you hold your shares through an intermediary, such as a bank or broker, you must register in advance to attend the Annual Meeting. To register you must submit proof of your legal proxy reflecting your Company holdings along with your name and e-mail address to Computershare, our transfer agent. Requests for registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 29, 2020. You will receive a confirmation e-mail from Computershare of your registration. Requests for registration should be directed to Computershare via e-mail or from your broker, or attach an image of your legal proxy, to legalproxy@computershare.com.
Whether or not you plan to attend the annual meeting, we urge you to vote as promptly as possible by one of the methods described in the proxy card you previously received for the annual meeting. That proxy card will not be updated to reflect the change in location and may continue to be used to vote your shares in connection with the annual meeting.
