EASTON, Md., April 7,
2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Shore Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: SHBI)
(the "Company") previously distributed to its shareholders of
record as of February 4, 2020, a
Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Notice") under the
Securities and Exchange Commission's Notice and Access rules,
announcing that its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the
"Annual Meeting") was scheduled for Wednesday, April 22, 2020 at 11:00 a.m., local time, at The Tidewater
House, 202 East Dover Street, Easton,
Maryland 21601.
As a result of the current national pandemic, the previous
meeting location is no longer available. In order to severely limit
public exposure and in light of the recent executive order from the
Governor of the State of Maryland
limiting the number of persons that may gather at public events,
the Company has determined to hold the meeting at the Company's
headquarters located at 28969 Information Lane, Easton, Maryland 21601, on Wednesday, April 22, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. The meeting will be conducted by those
officers who are already working at the Company on a daily basis.
The Company provided notice of a change to the location of the
Annual Meeting of Shareholders via the filing of additional proxy
materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC").
The Company recommends that all shareholders follow the instructions provided in the distribution of the Notice to vote in advance of the
Annual
Meeting to ensure that your voice is heard on the matters before the
shareholders. Call-in details
to join a live audio presentation of the Annual
Meeting are available on the Company's corporate website
at www.shorebancshares.com. Routine legal requirements of the Annual
Meeting will be carried out by a very limited
number of officers from the Company, and the designated proxy
representatives
will cast ballots as your proxy
votes indicate.
If the Company is unable to hold the Annual Meeting on April
22, 2020 as scheduled, the Company will notify shareholders of any
changes to the date, time, and/or location of the Annual Meeting,
including whether attendance will be allowed by remote
communication, through the issuance of a press release and
the filing of additional proxy materials with the
SEC, both of which will be available on
our corporate website
at www.shorebancshares.com under the "Investor
Relations" link and then under the "Governance Documents"
link. For up-to-date information on the Annual Meeting,
