COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT NOTICE AND ACCESS | ||||
Why am I receiving a Notice of Internet Availability instead of a proxy card and proxy statement?
CatchMark has elected to utilize a distribution model authorized by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in 2007. This model, known as Notice and Access, allows public companies to send you a notice instead of a full set of printed proxy materials. As a stockholder, you can select the means by which you access these proxy materials. You can view the materials electronically via the Internet, or request a full set of printed materials for this stockholder meeting and all future stockholder meetings, or you can make that choice on a case-by-case basis.
How do I access the materials, record my vote, and/or set my preference for future stockholder meeting materials?
On the front side of this notice are easy-to-follow instructions on how to access proxy materials electronically via the Internet or request a full set of printed materials by telephone or email. You can also use these methods to record your preference for how you wish to receive materials for future stockholder meetings.
When you are ready to vote, electronic voting is available via the Internet or touch-tone phone by using the 14-Digit Control Number and 8-Digit Security Code on the front of this notice. (Please note that the telephone number for ordering materials is different from the telephone number for voting your shares, which is displayed on the proxy card). If you want to vote by mail, you will need to use a proxy card, which you can receive by requesting a paper copy of the proxy materials.
If I request printed proxy materials, how long will it take for me to receive them?
The SEC rule requires that the proxy materials be sent to you via first-class mail within three business days of receipt of your request.
