Could emerging developments regarding coronavirus affect the Companys ability
to hold an in-person meeting?
We are monitoring the coronavirus situation. If we determine that holding an in-person meeting is inadvisable or in conflict with Federal, state or local executive orders, the Company may decide to instead hold a Virtual Annual Meeting. If we decide to use this format, we will make a public
announcement as soon as practicable prior to the meeting. In such event, to attend and participate in the Virtual Annual Meeting, stockholders will need to access the live audio webcast of the meeting. To do so, stockholders of record will need to
visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TDG2021 and use their 16-digit control number provided with this proxy statement to login and beneficial owners will need to follow the instructions provided by the
broker, bank or other nominee that holds their shares. Further instructions on how to attend, participate in and vote at the Virtual Annual Meeting will be available at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TDG2021. Please note you will only be able
to participate in the meeting using this website if the Company decides to use a virtual annual meeting instead of holding an in-person meeting in Cleveland, Ohio.
Who can attend the meeting?
Only
stockholders as of the record date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the meeting. If you hold your shares in street name (that is, through a broker or other nominee), your name does not appear in the Companys records, so
you will need to bring a copy of your brokerage statement reflecting your ownership of shares of common stock as of the record date.
Who is entitled to vote?
Only
stockholders of record at the close of business on the record date, January 27, 2021, are entitled to receive notice of the meeting and to vote the shares of common stock that they held on the record
