We hope this email finds you well. We appreciated your team taking the time to meet with us over the last year, and the feedback you provided was shared with our full Board and management team. As we approach our Annual Meeting on May 23rd, we are reaching out to let you know we filed our proxy statement and to see if you are available for a meeting with our team, including our Non-Executive Chair, Lamar McKay.
Topics we would like to discuss include:
| An update on our executive compensation, including the reduction of our CEOs long-term incentive pay to reflect market levels, and other responsive actions we have taken to address investor feedback following our Say-on-Pay vote result in 2022 |
| Our Board composition, including the addition of Lt. Gen. Charles Hooper and Dave Stover to the Board, and the refreshment of our Board chair and Compensation Committee chair roles |
| An update on our financial and operational accomplishments, and our go-forward strategy |
| Any other information we can provide that would help inform your voting decisions |
Our team is available for a call in May prior to our May 23, 2023, annual meeting. Please let us know if there is another time that fits your schedules better. We greatly appreciate your time and look forward to the call.
