Yield10 Bioscience Announces Change of 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to a Virtual Meeting
May 06 2020 - 8:30AM
Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. (Nasdaq:YTEN), an agricultural bioscience
company, announced today a change in the format of its Annual
Meeting of Shareholders ("Annual Meeting") from an in-person to a
virtual-only meeting, via webcast, due to the emerging public
health impact of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and to support
the health and well-being of the Company's shareholders, employees
and their families. As previously announced, the Annual Meeting
will be held on Tuesday, May 19, 2020, at 9:30 a.m.
EDT.
- At the time Yield 10 Bioscience filed its definitive proxy
materials on March 25, 2020, it had disclosed the possibility of
hosting a virtual annual meeting in lieu of its customary in-person
annual meeting as part of its precautions regarding the coronavirus
or COVID-19.
- The annual meeting will be accessible to stockholders via the
link: http://viewproxy.com/yield10bio/2020/vm. In order to attend
the virtual meeting, you must pre-register at
http://viewproxy.com/yield10bio/2020/. You will receive an event
passcode to attend the meeting, and a virtual control number to
vote if proper documentation is provided. If you wish to vote
your shares electronically at the Annual Meeting, you will be able
to do so by clicking on the link provided during the Annual Meeting
while the polls are open (you will need the virtual control number
assigned to you in your registration confirmation email).
Whether or not stockholders plan to attend the virtual meeting,
all stockholders are encouraged to vote their shares in advance
through www.proxyvote.com, toll-free phone number, or mail, as
communicated in the previously-distributed proxy materials for the
annual meeting. While voting in advance is not necessary, it will
ensure stockholder representation at the meeting. Stockholders may
still vote during the virtual meeting. Stockholders will not
receive a new proxy card reflecting the change to a virtual
meeting.
Technicians will be ready to assist you with any technical
difficulties you may have accessing the Annual Meeting live audio
webcast. Please be sure to check in by 9:00 am (EDT) on May 19,
2020, the day of the Annual Meeting, so we may address any

begins. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the Annual
Meeting live audio webcast during the check-in or meeting time,
