No changes have been made to the record date, the location of the meeting or the proposals to be brought before the Annual Meeting, which are presented in the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2019 (the “Proxy Statement”).
We decided to postpone the Annual Meeting to provide the Company more time to achieve a quorum and the requisite approval for certain of the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting.
You can vote your shares of common stock at the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or further postponements thereof if the Company’s records show that you were a stockholder of record as of the close of business on March 27, 2019, the record date for the Annual Meeting.
To express our appreciation for your participation, the Company will make a charitable donation to the Navy SEAL Foundation on behalf of every stockholder that votes.
Stockholders, whether or not they expect to be present at the Annual Meeting, are requested to authorize a proxy to vote their shares electronically via the Internet, by telephone or by completing and returning the proxy card. Voting instructions are printed on your proxy card and included in the Proxy Statement previously mailed to you. Any person giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time prior to the meeting and stockholders who are present at the meeting may withdraw their proxies and vote in person.
If you have already submitted a proxy and do not wish to change your vote, you do not need to take any further action and your shares will be voted as originally directed by you. If you have already submitted your proxy and wish to change your vote, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the meeting by following the instructions provided in the proxy card and Proxy Statement previously mailed to you.
