Shareholder Proxy Update
Monday, May 12, 2025
Shareholders, an error occurred when printing proxy cards regarding the number of shares you own and votes you have in the top right corner of your proxy card. This error does not affect the validity of your paper proxy, nor does it affect voting on MySealaska.com through the Election Connection portal.
The error regarding the number of shares you own and votes you have does not affect the acceptance of your proxy by the Independent Inspector of Elections (IOE).
If you have already voted your paper proxy, the Independent IOE can apportion the actual number of votes to reflect your intent. If you have questions or concerns, you can reach out to the Independent IOE at 907.789.3178 or elections@erakcpa.com.
If you have not yet voted, you may do so electronically on MySealaska.com through the Election Connection portal, which is unaffected by the error. If you plan to vote using your paper proxy, please wait until you receive the second proxy, sent every election season, which will reflect your accurate number of shares and votes.
You may also contact Sealaska Corporation directly if they have questions or would like to verify your voting information, toll free at 1.800.848.5921 or at 907.586.1512. You may also email questions to Sealaska at records@sealaska.com.
The integrity of our voting system is of the utmost importance. We take this seriously and have verified the integrity of this election. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Shareholder Proxy Update FAQ
I received my 2025 proxy statement, and the number of shares and votes I have, in the top right corner of the proxy card, appears to be wrong. Is my proxy still valid?
An error occurred when printing proxy cards regarding the number of shares you own and votes you have. This error does not affect the validity of your proxy.
I already voted my paper proxy and mailed it to the Independent Inspector of Elections. What should I do ?
Nothing. The error regarding the number of shares you own and votes you have does not affect the acceptance of your proxy by the Independent Inspector of Elections (IOE). Pursuant to Alaska law and proxy verification rules, a proxy will be accepted by the Independent IOE even if it does not state the correct number of shares or votes. A proxy will never be accorded more votes than the shareholder is entitled to based on the shareholder list as of the record date. If a shareholder has attempted to vote more or fewer shares than they are actually entitled to, the Independent IOE will attempt to contact the shareholder regarding the error. If the Independent IOE is unable to contact the shareholder, the Independent IOE will apportion the actual number of votes to reflect the intent of the shareholder.
Shareholders may also contact Sealaska Corporation directly if they have questions or would like to verify their voting information.
I elected GoGreen, I receive my proxy statement electronically and vote via MySealaska.com and the Election Connection portal. What should I do?
Nothing. The error on paper proxies regarding the number of shares you own and votes you have does not affect voting via MySealaska.com and the Election Connection portal.
How are my votes calculated?
Four (4) candidates will be elected at the 2025 annual meeting. Shareholder votes are calculated by the number of voting shares held multiplied by four (4) — the number of candidates that will be elected at the 2025 annual meeting.
Does any of this affect my proxy incentive?
No. All shareholders who submit a valid proxy will receive the $50 voting incentive.
Who is the Independent Inspector of Election and what do they do?
The Independent Inspector of Election (sometime referred to as the Independent IOE or IOE) is an accounting firm, independent of Sealaska Corporation and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, and subsidiaries, that count shareholder votes in compliance with Alaska law and Sealaska Bylaws and Election Rules and Procedures.
I have not received my annual report, proxy statement, and proxy card. What should I do?
Your annual report, proxy statement, and proxy card were shipped on Friday, May 2, 2025, via U.S. Postal Service, First Class Mail. If you have not received your annual report, proxy statement, and proxy card by May 12, and you have not registered on MySealaska.com for GoGreen document delivery, please call Sealaska toll free at 1.800.848.5921 or at 907.586.1512.
