GABC German American Bancorp Inc

German American Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: GABC) announced today that, in light of lingering health and safety concerns relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will offer shareholders the ability to participate in its 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders via webcast. While the Company will hold the Annual Meeting as presented in the Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement first mailed to shareholders on or about April 5, 2021, it is encouraging shareholders that have health and safety concerns to participate in the meeting via the webcast or by teleconference, rather than attending the meeting in person.

Webcast Details. The Annual Meeting webcast details are below:

Date: Thursday, May 20, 2021

Time: 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time

Webcast link: https://ir.germanamerican.com/news-events/event-calendar/default.aspx.

Important Note Regarding Voting

As discussed above, shareholders will not be able to vote or revoke a proxy via the webcast or teleconference. Therefore, to ensure that their votes are counted at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company strongly encourages its shareholders to complete and return their proxy cards or direct their brokers, banks or nominees to vote their shares (if applicable), or to otherwise vote by Internet or telephone by following the instructions in the proxy materials. Shareholders of record may still attend the meeting and revoke their proxy at any time before it is voted.
