HOW TO VOTE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING |
OF UNION BANKSHARES COMPANY |
|
The proxy card mailed out to shareholders by Management does not allow you to vote for either of the shareholder nominees and omits entirely two of the shareholder proposals. See "The State of Shareholder Democracy at Union Bankshares" for further details. We think this is unfair, and we therefore are distributing anAlternate Form of Proxy that allows shareholders to vote however they want. |
|
If you received a set of proxy materials from FAIC in the mail, you can follow the instructions that are included with that package. The materials from FAIC include a WHITE proxy card and, for example, name Michael V. Jennings and Andrew J. Pease, Jr. as nominees. (The materials from the Company include a BLUE proxy card that doesnot name Mr. Jennings or Mr. Pease on the card). |
|
If you have not yet received a set of proxy materials from FAIC in the mail (or if you discarded them or prefer to use these website materials instead), here is how you can make sure your vote is counted on ALL matters presented at the meeting: |
|
1. Go to the page that contains theAlternate Form of Proxy(click here) and print that page from your computer. |
|
2. Go through the first six matters listed on the card, andMARK YOUR VOTEScarefully. |
|
| (If you want to vote for any of the Board-endorsed director candidates you can write their names on the blank lines shown in first matter. If you vote for any Board-endorsed candidates, make sure to mark the order in which you want your votes to be cast. If you don't specify an order, we will divide your total number of votes evenly among all the directors listed, other than any you have crossed out.) |
|
3. Add theDATE of your signature. Remember that if you submit more than one proxy card, it is thelater dated card that is counted. Therefore, even if you already submitted a blue proxy card, you can change your vote by submitting a new card on the form included here. |
|
4. SIGN your name to the card. If you and your spouse hold these shares jointly, it is permissible foreither orboth to sign. One signature will suffice if that person's name appears on the stock certificate or brokerage account. If it is convenient to get both signatures, then it can't hurt to do so. |
|
5. PleasePRINT your name(s)CLEARLY at the bottom of the card, so that we will know whose shares are being voted.We strongly recommend that you also give us a phone number or email address at which we can contact you if there are any questions. (For example, if your name does not appear on the Company's shareholder list, we will want to contact you with further instructions on how to make sure your vote is counted.) |
|
6. MAIL the signed card to the address stated on the card,orFAX the signed card to the fax number stated on the card. |

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO VOTE. It has been difficult (and expensive!) to raise these shareholder initiatives, but we strongly believe that doing so will help protect the value of the shareholders' investments in Union Bankshares stock over the years. |
