The record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be July 2, 2010. Because the date of the Annual Meeting will be more than 30 days after the anniversary date of the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company is informing its stockholders, pursuant to Rule 14a-5(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), of the following deadlines for stockholder proposals:
In order for a stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Companys Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act (Rule 14a-8), the proposal must be received by the Corporate Secretary at the Companys principal executive offices no later than July 8, 2010, which the Company considers to be a reasonable time before it begins to print and send its proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. In order to be considered, proposals must be sent to the attention of Corporate Secretary, GeoVax Labs, Inc., 1900 Lake Park Drive, Suite 380, Smyrna, Georgia 30080 and must also comply with all applicable requirements for stockholder proposals made pursuant to Rule 14a-8.
In order for a stockholder proposal regarding the nomination of a director or other business to be brought at the Annual Meeting outside of Rule 14a-8, notice of the proposal must be received by the Corporate Secretary at the Companys principal executive offices no later than July 8, 2010, which the Company considers to be a reasonable time before it begins the printing and mailing of its proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act, the persons named in the proxies solicited on behalf of the Company for use at the Annual Meeting will have the right to exercise discretionary voting authority with respect to proposals submitted after that date.
