PEMBROKE, Bermuda--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arch Capital Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:ACGL) announced today that due to the public health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and to support the health and well-being of its shareholders, employees and directors, as well as their families and communities, it will move the originally planned in-person 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) at the Company’s principal executive office, to a virtual meeting via a live webcast.
The Annual Meeting will now be held on May 8, 2020 at 12 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, instead of on May 7, 2020 at 8:45 a.m. Atlantic Daylight Time as originally announced. Individuals will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person. Shareholders as of the close of business on March 9, 2020, the record date for the Annual Meeting, with a control number, will have the opportunity to participate in the vote during the virtual meeting. However, shareholders are encouraged to vote in advance of the Annual Meeting either through the internet, by telephone, on their mobile device or, if paper copies of proxy materials were requested, by returning the completed proxy card. Due to the change in format, only the formal business of the Annual Meeting will be conducted. Any questions for the Annual Meeting must be submitted in advance at shareholderinfo@archcapgroup.com by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on May 5, 2020.
The Annual Meeting can be accessed directly at https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ACGL2020. To log in to the Annual Meeting as a shareholder, a control number will be required. For registered shareholders, the control number can be found on the proxy card, voting instruction form or notice shareholders previously received. None of the proxy card, voting instruction form or notice shareholders previously received will be updated to reflect the change in location, date and time of the Annual Meeting, and may continue to be used.
An archive of the Annual Meeting will be available on https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/.
