PHOENIX, April 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Republic
Services, Inc. (NYSE: RSG) announced today that due to the public
health and travel concerns related to the coronavirus (COVID-19)
outbreak, it will hold an audio virtual meeting instead of an
in-person meeting for its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
("Annual Meeting"). Shareholders will not be able to attend the
Annual Meeting in person.
The Annual Meeting will begin at 10:30
a.m. Pacific Time on May 8,
2020, as originally scheduled, but will be hosted in an
audio virtual format instead of in person. As described in the
proxy materials, shareholders of record as of the close of business
on March 11, 2020, the record date,
and shareholders holding a legal proxy for the meeting provided by
their bank, broker or nominee, are eligible to vote at the
meeting.
The Annual Meeting will be accessible at
www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RSG2020. To vote or participate
in the Annual Meeting, shareholders must enter the 16-digit control
number found on their proxy card, voting instruction form or notice
that was previously distributed. Shareholders without a control
number will be admitted to the Annual Meeting as guests, but will
not have the ability to vote or submit questions.
The Company urges all shareholders to vote and submit their
proxies in advance of the Annual Meeting by one of the methods
described in the proxy materials. The proxy card included with the
proxy materials will not be updated to reflect the change in
location and may continue to be used to vote shares in connection
with the Annual Meeting.
Proxy materials and additional information regarding the
Company's Annual Meeting are posted on the 2020 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders section of the Republic Services Investor Relations
website located at

COVID-19 subside.
