NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Telaria, Inc. (NYSE: TLRA) today announced that, due to the emerging public health concerns relating to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and to protect the health and well-being of its stockholders and employees, Telaria’s stockholders will now be able to attend the special meeting of stockholders to be held on March 30, 2020 virtually. The special meeting’s virtual attendance option provides stockholders the ability to participate and ask questions during the meeting. However, Telaria stockholders will not be deemed to be “present” if they solely access the special meeting through the virtual option and stockholders will not be able to vote their shares at the special meeting, or revoke or change a previously submitted vote, through the virtual platform. In light of the foregoing, Telaria urges stockholders to submit their proxies in advance of the meeting using one of the available methods described in the proxy materials previously mailed to Telaria stockholders.
As stated in the definitive proxy statement of Telaria, dated February 13, 2020, Telaria will still host the special meeting in person at the offices of Cooley LLP, 55 Hudson Yards, New York, NY 10001 on March 30, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. local time. Telaria urges stockholders to carefully consider the personal and community health risks associated with attending in person in light of COVID-19 and related public health concerns.
To be virtually admitted to the Special Meeting, go to http://web.lumiagm.com/187574976. In order to gain access you must click on “I have a login,” enter the control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice you previously received and enter the password “tel2020” (the password is case sensitive). If your shares are held in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, to be virtually admitted to the Special Meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of record and submit proof of your legal proxy reflecting the number of shares of Telaria common stock you held as of the record date, along with your name and email address, and a request for registration to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC: (1) by email to proxy@astfinancial.com; (2) by facsimile to 718-765-8730 or (3) by mail to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, Attn: Proxy Tabulation Department, 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219. Requests for registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and be received by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on March, 23, 2020.
As described in the proxy materials for the special meeting previously distributed, Telaria’s stockholders are entitled to participate in the special meeting if they were a stockholder of record as of the close of business on February 11, 2020, which is the record date for the special meeting, or hold an appropriate legal proxy for the meeting provided by their broker, bank or other nominee. Whether or not a stockholder plans to attend the special meeting in person or virtually, Telaria urges its stockholders to vote and submit their proxy in advance of the special meeting by one of the methods described in the proxy materials for the special meeting. The proxy card included with the proxy materials previously distributed will not be updated to reflect the information provided above and may continue to be used to vote each stockholder’s shares in connection with the special meeting. A proxy supplement will be filed today with additional information concerning the virtual option, which we urge stockholders to read in its entirety.
