[GOLDEN OVAL EGGS LETTERHEAD]
March 26, 2004
Dear Golden Oval Eggs Shareholder:
The purpose of this letter is to clarify an apparent misunderstanding for the date of the 10th Annual Meeting. It willnot be held in March as it was in previous years.
In early February the Board of Directors and Management submitted disclosure materials and a registration statement to the SEC for the proposed conversion to a Limited Liability Company (LLC). The SEC has provided comments on the initial filing and an amendment to that filing is being prepared to respond to those comments. Once the registration statement is deemed effective by the SEC, we will distribute the disclosure materials to GOE's shareholders.
We will also schedule informational meetings to be held as soon as practical after the registration becomes effective. Our goal is to hold these meetings during the month of April, but informational meetings and our Annual Meeting can only be scheduled after the SEC registration process has been completed.
Again, our goal is to hold meetings during April. If this timeline is met, we hope to be able to present our members with the opportunity to vote on the proposed plan by the end of April.
During this period of registration with the SEC, we are restricted as to the amount of information we can provide to shareholders and the methods by which we can communicate with our shareholders. We look forward to the upcoming shareholder meetings and Annual Meeting where we will be able to provide up-to-date, detailed information regarding our financial performance.Meeting notices will be mailed when the dates and times have been scheduled. Thank you for your patience during this period.
Sincerely,
| /s/ Dana Persson | /s/ Marvin Breitkreutz | |
