There will be two resolutions coming before shareholders for a vote for the 2009 Annual Meeting. Be sure to check Yes or No on each resolution.
The Elders Resolution
Shall Sealaska Corporation amend its Articles of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of 100 shares of “Class E” nonvoting life estate stock (other than Settlement Common Stock), to each original shareholder who: (a) was alive on December 18, 1971; (b) is living on June 27, 2009; (c) is 65 years of age or older, or who subsequently reaches the age of 65 years; and (d) is not currently enrolled in any other ANCSA Regional Corporation (except by gift or inheritance), or the Metlakatla Indian Community, pursuant to Section 7(g)(2) of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act?
The Elders’ Class E life estate stock would be in addition to any shares of original Settlement Common Stock already owned by the shareholder, and would entitle the holder to additional dividends, but not additional voting rights nor additional Section 7(j) distributions, and would be canceled without compensation upon the death of the shareholder.
The Board of Directors recommends a “Yes” vote.
