OMAHA, Neb., April 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- To protect the
health and safety of its shareholders, employees and other
stakeholders during the coronavirus pandemic, Union Pacific
Corporation (NYSE: UNP) today announced that its 2020 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") will be conducted
through a live audio meeting only, and will no longer include an
in-person event. The previously announced date and time of
the Annual Meeting (May 14, 2020, at
8:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time), and
the business items to be considered at the Annual Meeting, remain
the same. However, shareholders will not be able to attend
the meeting in person. Union Pacific's decision to host an
audio annual meeting relates only to its 2020 Annual Meeting.
As described in the proxy materials previously distributed for
the Annual Meeting, all Union Pacific shareholders as of the close
of business on March 20, 2020, the
record date for the Annual Meeting, are invited to access and
participate in the live audio meeting. Any eligible
shareholder who wishes to join the meeting, vote or submit
questions for the meeting can do so by visiting
www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/UNP2020; entering the eligible
shareholder's 16-digit control number found on the proxy card,
voting instruction form, notice of internet availability of proxy
materials or email, as applicable, previously sent or made
available to shareholders; and following the available
instructions.
Online check-in will be available approximately 15 minutes
before the Annual Meeting starts. Any shareholder who encounters
difficulties accessing or participating in the Annual Meeting
should call the support team at the numbers listed on the log-in
screen.
In the event a technical malfunction or other situation delays
the start of the Annual Meeting by more than thirty minutes, the
chair or secretary of the Annual Meeting will convene the meeting
at 9:00 am CDT on May 14, 2020 and at 1400 Douglas Street,
Omaha, Nebraska solely for the
purpose of adjourning the meeting to a date, time and location
announced at such time by the meeting chair or secretary. In such
circumstances, Union Pacific will post information regarding the
chairman's announcement on its website at
https://www.up.com/investors.
All shareholders are encouraged to vote and submit their proxies
in advance of the meeting by one of the methods described in the
proxy materials. The proxy card, voting instruction form or notice
of internet availability that were previously distributed will not
be updated to reflect this change in meeting format and may be used
to vote shares in connection with the Annual Meeting. Shareholders
who previously sent in proxies, or voted by telephone or by
internet, do not need to take any further action.
