NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Brookdale
Senior Living Inc. (NYSE: BKD) announced today that the Company
will hold its 2020 annual meeting of stockholders on Tuesday, June 30, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. CDT. The meeting is expected to be
held at the Company's headquarters located at 111 Westwood Place in
Brentwood, Tennessee. As part of
its precautions relating to COVID-19, Brookdale is evaluating the
possibility of instead holding the annual meeting in a virtual
meeting format on the same time and date. Further information
regarding this decision will be provided to stockholders in proxy
materials to be made available in connection with the 2020 annual
meeting.
Guy P. Sansone, Non-Executive
Chairman of Brookdale's Board of Directors, said, "The Board is
pleased to announce the acceleration of the annual stockholder
meeting to return to a more typical timeframe for calendar year-end
companies. This also aligns with stockholder feedback we received
last year."
Important Additional Information
Because the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders will be held
more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the Company's 2019
annual meeting of stockholders, the deadlines set forth in the
Company's definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on September 18, 2019 for stockholder proposals and
director nominations for consideration at the 2020 annual meeting
no longer apply.
The new deadline is the close of business on May 1, 2020 (which the Company has determined to
be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and
distribute its proxy materials prior to the 2020 annual meeting of
stockholders) for proposals and director nominations of
stockholders intended to be included in the Company's proxy
statement and form of proxy for the 2020 annual meeting pursuant to
Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
or the proxy access provisions of the Company's Amended and
Restated Bylaws, and proposals and director nominations of
stockholders intended to be considered at the 2020 annual meeting
other than by means of inclusion in the Company's proxy statement
and form of proxy card. Stockholders submitting proposals or
nominations using the foregoing procedures should deliver or mail
the proposal or nomination, and all supporting information required
by Rule 14a-8 or the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws, as
applicable, to Brookdale Senior Living Inc., 111 Westwood Place,
Suite 400, Brentwood, Tennessee
37027, Attention: Secretary. In addition to complying with this
deadline, stockholder proposals and nominations must comply with
all applicable SEC rules, including Rule 14a-8, and the
requirements set forth in the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws
and applicable law.
