April 09 2020 - 5:47PM
Business Wire
The Eastern Company (NASDAQ:EML) (the “Company”) today announced
that its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”)
will be held in a virtual meeting format only. Shareholders will
not have the option to attend the Annual Meeting in-person, but
will have the same opportunities to participate in the virtual
meeting format as they would at an in-person meeting. This change
was instituted in accordance with Executive Order No. 7I issued by
the Governor of the State of Connecticut, which temporarily
suspends the statutory requirement for in-person shareholder
meetings for Connecticut corporations in light of the COVID-19
pandemic, and to support the health and well-being of the Company’s
employees, shareholders, and the community. As previously
announced, the Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 29,
2020 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
As described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting
previously distributed, shareholders of record as of the close of
business on March 2, 2020, the record date, are entitled to
participate in the Annual Meeting. To be admitted to the Annual
Meeting at www.issuerdirect.com/virtual-event/EML, shareholders
must enter the first 13 digits of the control number found on their
proxy card, voting instruction form or notice that they previously
received. For additional information regarding how shareholders may
access, vote and participate in the virtual Annual Meeting, please
refer to the Company’s supplemental proxy materials filed today
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Annual Meeting on April 29, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern
Daylight Time will be available at
