Steve Madden Announces Change to Virtual-Only Format for 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; Meeting Date Changed to June 5
May 04 2020 - 6:59AM
Steven Madden, Ltd. (NASDAQ: SHOO), a leading designer and marketer
of fashion-forward footwear, accessories and apparel for women, men
and children, today announced that, due to the extraordinary
circumstances of the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19)
pandemic and resulting restrictions on public gatherings, the
Company will change its 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the
“Annual Meeting”) to a virtual-only format in order to help protect
the health and well-being of its stockholders, employees, other
usual meeting attendees and the community. Due to scheduling
availability, the Company is also changing the date and time of its
2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to Friday, June 5, 2020 at 2:00
p.m. Eastern Time. There is no change to the items of
business to be addressed at the Annual Meeting, which are described
in the Company’s proxy materials as previously distributed.
Steve Madden plans to return to an in-person Annual Meeting next
year.
Stockholders will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in
person, but stockholders of record as of the close of business on
March 30, 2020, the record date for the Annual Meeting, will be
able to attend the meeting by visiting
www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SHOO2020 and by entering the
16-digit control number provided on their proxy card. This
website will contain instructions on how to participate in the
Annual Meeting in advance of the meeting. The Company has
designed the format of the Annual Meeting to ensure that
stockholders are afforded the same rights and opportunities to
participate as they would at an in-person meeting, using online
tools to ensure stockholder access and participation.
Whether or not they plan to attend the Annual Meeting, the
Company encourages all stockholders to vote in advance of the
meeting. Stockholders may continue to vote
at www.proxyvote.com, by phone and by mail until 11:59 p.m.
Eastern Time on June 4, 2020, in accordance with the instructions
provided in the proxy materials that were previously distributed.
Stockholders will be required to enter the control number
found on their proxy card, voting instruction form or Notice of
Electronic Availability that they previously received. However,
stockholders who attend the virtual Annual Meeting will have an
opportunity to vote as well as to submit questions electronically
during the meeting.
The proxy materials for the Annual Meeting are available at
www.proxyvote.com. The proxy card and voting instruction form
included with the previously distributed proxy materials will not
be updated to reflect the change in meeting location, date and
time, but they may continue to be used to vote on the proposals to
be presented at the virtual Annual Meeting. Stockholders who
have previously sent in proxies, or voted by telephone or Internet,
do not need to take any further action.
Further information is set forth in materials the Company filed
today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
