Business Wire
Keweenaw Land Association, Limited (KEWL) announces that
Chairman, David Ayer, has issued a letter to shareholders, dated
April 12, 2011, which is available in full on KLA’s website,
www.keweenaw.com.
This letter is in response to the unprecedented move by Mr.
Gutstein to include Mr. Ayer on his proxy card without Mr. Ayer’s
expressed knowledge or permission.
In his letter David Ayer stated, “This time Mr. Gutstein has
gone too far; he is implying that I am running ‘on his slate’. This
was done without my knowledge or permission.
- THIS IS A
BLATANT ATTEMPT TO MISLEAD THE SHAREHOLDERS INTO THINKING THAT I
SUPPORT HIM. I DO NOT SUPPORT RON GUTSTEIN.
- I have argued and will continue to
argue that Ron Gutstein is not a qualified candidate and would be
detrimental to the long-term interests of the KLA shareholders. He
and his associates have cost the company over $300,000 and provided
not one iota of value.
- By his own admission he is again trying
to block a quorum by asking you to vote on his card. Two years ago,
he did not even vote the shares that were voted in good faith thus
disenfranchising all who cast their vote for him. He is trying to
deprive you from having an annual meeting, which you are clearly
entitled to.”
Please vote on our Green
proxy card or voting instruction form. If you have any questions or
need assistance voting your shares, please contact our proxy
solicitor, Georgeson, at 800-314-4549.
KLA will publish a selective response to Mr. Gutstein ON ITS
WEBSITE shortly.
