May 06 2020 - 4:05PM
Exponent, Inc. (Nasdaq:EXPO) today announced that due to current
shelter in place orders in the San Francisco Bay Area and public
health concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and the welfare of
our stockholders, employees, and other stakeholders, Exponent has
decided to forego for this year the physical location of the 2020
Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2020 Annual Meeting”) to be
held at 149 Commonwealth Drive, Menlo Park, California in favor of
a virtual meeting format only, consistent with the proxy statement
that we previously filed in respect of the 2020 Annual Meeting. The
2020 Annual Meeting will still be held at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time on
May 28, 2020.
As there will not be a physical location, stockholders will not
be able to vote their shares in person at the 2020 Annual Meeting.
The only way for stockholders to vote their shares is to submit a
proxy in advance of the meeting using one of the methods described
in the proxy materials for the 2020 Annual Meeting or to attend the
meeting virtually per the instructions below.
We are committed to ensuring, to the extent possible, that
stockholders will be afforded the ability to participate at the
virtual meeting like they would at an in-person meeting. If you
were a stockholder of record as of the close of business on April
1, 2020, the record date, or hold a legal proxy for the meeting
provided by your bank, broker or nominee, you are entitled to
participate in the 2020 Annual Meeting, vote electronically and
submit questions during the live webcast of the meeting by visiting
www.meetingcenter.io/222060672 and entering your control number and
the password, EXPO2020.
To be admitted to the 2020 Annual Meeting as a “stockholder”
(with the option to vote your shares, examine the stockholder list
and submit questions during the meeting), you must follow specific
instructions, including, for stockholders of record, entering the
control number you previously received and, for beneficial owners,
obtaining a legal proxy and registering in advance for the virtual
meeting.
If you are a beneficial owner and hold your shares through an
intermediary, such as a bank, broker or nominee, you must register
in advance to participate in the 2020 Annual Meeting, vote
electronically and submit questions during the live webcast of the
meeting. To register in advance, you must obtain a legal proxy from
the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your shares giving you
the right to vote the shares. You must forward a copy of the legal
proxy along with your email address to Computershare Trust Company,
N.A. (“Computershare”). Requests for registration should be
directed to Computershare by email at legalproxy@computershare.com
no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on Monday, May 25, 2020. You
will receive a confirmation of your registration and instructions
on how to attend the meeting by email after Computershare receives
your registration materials.
Beneficial owners that are unable to register in advance may
still attend the 2020 Annual Meeting by visiting
www.meetingcenter.io/222060672 as a “guest” but will not have the
option to vote shares electronically or submit questions during the
live webcast of the meeting. Stockholders may also submit questions
in advance of the 2020 Annual Meeting by emailing your question,
along with proof of ownership, to investor-relations@exponent.com.
We will, subject to time constraints, answer all questions that are
pertinent to the business of the 2020 Annual Meeting.
If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting
during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical
support number that will be posted on the login page for the 2020
Annual Meeting.
Your vote is important to us. Whether or not
you plan to participate in the live webcast of the 2020 Annual
Meeting, we urge you to vote and submit your proxy in advance of
the meeting by one of the methods described in the proxy materials
for the 2020 Annual Meeting. The proxy card included with the proxy
materials previously distributed will not be updated to reflect the
virtual meeting format and may continue to be used to vote your
shares in connection with the 2020 Annual Meeting. If you have
already submitted your proxy, there is no need to submit another
proxy or vote at the 2020 Annual Meeting unless you wish to change
or revoke your vote.
As the normal business hours of our headquarters located at 149
Commonwealth Drive, Menlo Park, California 90425, have been
affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will make available,
through electronic means, a list of stockholders of record as of
the record date for inspection by stockholders for any purpose
related to the meeting from May 27, 2020 through May 28, 2020. To
access the electronic list during this time, please send your
request, along with proof of ownership, by email to
investor-relations@exponent.com. You will receive confirmation of
your request and instructions on how to view the electronic list.
The list will also be available to stockholders at
www.meetingcenter.io/222060672 during the live webcast of the 2020
Annual Meeting.
We look forward to your participation at our virtual 2020 Annual
Meeting.
