Dear Stockholders:
It is our pleasure to deliver to you the enclosed check reflecting your annual cash dividend for the 2015 fiscal year based on the number of shares of common stock you owned as of the dividend record date. On May 29, 2015, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per share of common stock payable on or about July 22, 2015 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 29, 2015. Should you have any questions on the payment of the dividend, please do not hesitate to contact our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, at 1-800-509-5586.
We are committed to enhancing and returning stockholder value while maintaining our status as a trusted company developing, designing, manufacturing and marketing solid-state semiconductor components and related devices primarily for the military and aerospace markets. This regular annual cash dividend payment is our second cash dividend since emerging from bankruptcy in 1993 and reflects an increase of $0.20 per share of common stock over the cash dividend of $0.05 per share paid last year on or about June 24, 2014. The declaration of future annual cash dividends will continue to be subject to approval by your Board of Directors and to meeting the requirements of all applicable laws.
Our 2015 annual stockholders' meeting is rapidly approaching and will be held on Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Your vote is especially important at this year's annual stockholders' meeting due to the proxy fight that has been launched against us. We believe our two director nominees, Sidney H. Kopperl and Douglas Reif, have the breadth of relevant and diverse qualifications, experience, integrity and commitment to serve on YOUR Board of Directors. Additionally, we would like to highlight that Mr. Reif has been a substantial STOCKHOLDER of Solitron since 2012 and was suggested to us by two STOCKHOLDERS with significant holdings.
We hope that we can count on you to vote the enclosed WHITE proxy card NOW in accordance with our recommendations and return your WHITE proxy card (in the enclosed envelope) or by following the provided instructions to vote online or over the telephone.
We look forward to seeing you at the 2015 annual stockholders' meeting. If you have any questions or require any assistance with voting your shares, please contact our proxy solicitor: Regan & Associates, Inc., toll free at 1-800-737-3426. Once again, we thank you for your past and continued support.
Sincerely,
Solitron Devices, Inc.
