Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. (NYSE: WDR) today provided
notice of a change in location for the Company’s 2020 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders via the filing of additional proxy
materials with the SEC.
Due to the emerging public health impact of the coronavirus
outbreak, and to support the health and well-being of the Company’s
directors, employees and stockholders, the Company will hold the
Annual Meeting in a virtual meeting format only, via audio webcast,
on April 29, 2020 at 10 a.m., Central time. Stockholders of record
as of the close of business on March 2, 2020 can attend the virtual
Annual Meeting at www.meetingcenter.io/255648983 by using the
control number included on the proxy card or notice that you
previously received. The password for the meeting is WDR2020.
If you hold your shares through an intermediary, such as a bank
or broker, you must register in advance to attend the Annual
Meeting as a stockholder. To register, you must submit proof of
your proxy power (legal proxy) reflecting your holdings in the
Company along with your name and email address to Computershare.
Requests for registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and be
received no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on April 24, 2020.
You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email after
Computershare receives your registration materials. Requests for

Stockholders will be afforded the same rights and opportunities
to participate as they would at an in-person meeting, including the
ability to ask questions and to vote during the Annual Meeting by
following the instructions available on the meeting website. If you
do not have your control number, you may listen to the Annual
Meeting as a guest, but you will not have the opportunity to vote
or ask questions. A replay of the Annual Meeting will be available
until May 29, 2020 on our Investor Relations website at
ir.waddell.com.
The Company urges stockholders to vote and submit proxies in
advance of the Annual Meeting by one of the methods described in
the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. The proxy card or
voting instruction form included with the proxy materials
previously distributed will not be updated to reflect the change in
location and may continue to be used to vote your shares in
connection with the Annual Meeting.
