FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE |
Lightbridge Corporation Reminds Stockholders to Vote at the Upcoming Annual Meeting
RESTON, Va., October 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Lightbridge Corporation (Nasdaq: LTBR), an advanced nuclear fuel technology company, reminds stockholders to vote their proxies in advance of the annual meeting, which will be held on Thursday, October 27, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. ET. The Lightbridge Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favor of all proposals.
Your Vote is Important – Please Vote Today
No Matter How Many or How Few Shares You Own
Seth Grae, President and CEO of Lightbridge, commented, “I appreciate the support from Lightbridge’s shareholders for participating in the proxy vote for our upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Today, all the proposals submitted for shareholder approval are winning at a large level of support. However, due to certain brokers eliminating the practice of issuing discretionary voting at shareholders' meetings, we are still a bit short of the stockholder vote participation threshold to achieve a majority vote of all issued and outstanding stock on the proposed amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, which has unanimous support from the three leading, independent proxy advisory firms - Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), Glass Lewis and Co, LLC, and Egan-Jones & Co. I urge all our shareholders to vote their proxy, no matter how many shares you own.”
For assistance with voting your shares, please contact Advantage Proxy, Inc. toll-free at 1-877-870-8565 or by e-mail at ksmith@advantageproxy.com.
The proxy materials for the Annual Meeting can be found online at https://materials.proxyvote.com/default.aspx?ticker=53224K.
