IMPORTANT ALERT
TO STOCKHOLDERS WHO HAVE NOT YET VOTED:
We have been trying to reach you with regard to the Special Meeting of Barnes &
Noble Education, Inc. Stockholders on June 5, 2024…now less than one week away!
Why is the Special Meeting so important?
Your Board seeks your support for certain proposals related to our recently announced
Rights Offering and the proposed transactions related to the Purchase Agreement, as
detailed in the proxy materials (the “Core Proposals”). If the Core Proposals are not
approved, we expect that we will likely need to file for bankruptcy protection.
For this reason, our Board seeks your vote “FOR’’ all items on the agenda.
Why is my vote so important?
Your vote FOR could impact the future value of your investment,
as it will help your company avoid the risk of bankruptcy.
We need your support—YOUR VOTE MATTERS!
Is voting easy?
YES--YOU CAN VOTE WITH ONE SIMPLE PHONE CALL!
You can vote just by calling Innisfree, our proxy solicitor, at:
1 (877) 800-5185 (toll-free from the U.S and Canada) or
+1 (412) 232-3651 (from other locations),
10:00 am-7:00 pm ET, Monday-Friday; 10:00am-2:00pm ET, Saturday.
Innisfree can record your vote directly by phone.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
