You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting physically and should plan to participate in our Annual Meeting via live webcast.
How to Participate in the Virtual Annual Meeting
To access the virtual meeting, please go to http://www.meetingcenter.io/207086348. To log into the Annual Meeting you will have the option to join as a “Guest” or join as a “Shareholder”. If you join as a “Shareholder,” you will be able to vote your shares and ask questions during the Annual Meeting. In order to join as a “Shareholder,” you are required to have the password and your control number. The password for the meeting is GTRE2020.
Attending the Annual Meeting as a Stockholder of Record: If you were a stockholder of record as of the close of business on March 10, 2020, you may join as a “Shareholder” by following the instructions available on the meeting website during the meeting. Your control number can be found on your proxy card or notice, or in the email you previously received.
