GERMANTOWN, Tenn., May 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Mid-America Apartment
Communities, Inc. (NYSE: MAA) announced today that in response
to the public health concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic,
the company will host its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or
Annual Meeting, in a virtual-only format. Shareholders will not be
able to attend the Annual Meeting physically. The previously
announced date and time of the meeting, May
19, 2020 at 12:30 p.m. Central
Daylight Time, is unchanged.
Eric Bolton, CEO and Chairman of
the Board of Directors, said "Given the likely inability of some of
our shareholders to attend a physical meeting and our priority to
support the health and wellbeing of our shareholders, associates
and their families, we believe holding our annual meeting online is
the right thing to do."
As described in the previously distributed proxy materials,
individuals are entitled to attend the Annual Meeting if they hold
a legal proxy for the meeting or were a shareholder of record at
the close of business on March 13,
2020, the record date for the meeting. Using any internet
accessible device, eligible participants can register for the
virtual-only meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MAA2020
starting at 12:20 p.m. Central Daylight
Time on May 19, 2020. To
register, shareholders (or their proxies) must enter the unique
16-digit control number included on the shareholder's proxy card,
voter instruction form or notice of internet availability of proxy
materials. Shareholders who hold their shares through a brokerage,
bank or other institutional account who have questions on how to
obtain a control number to participate should contact the financial
institution where their shares are held.
While shareholders (or their proxies) will be able to ask
questions and vote during the virtual-only meeting by following the
instructions available on the meeting website, the company
encourages all shareholders to use their previously distributed
proxy card, voter instruction form, or any of the methods outlined
in the proxy materials to vote their shares and submit their
proxies in advance of the Annual Meeting, whether or not they plan
to attend. The proxy card included with the previously-distributed
proxy materials will not be updated to reflect the change from a
physical meeting to a virtual-only meeting but may continue to be
used to vote shares in connection with the Annual Meeting.
