Dear Stockholder:
As previously disclosed, our 2021 Annual General Meeting of Stockholders (Annual Meeting) will be held virtually on Wednesday, May 19, 2021, at www.proxydocs.com/KRA, beginning at 1:00 p.m., central time. Although it will be a virtual-only meeting, you will be afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate as you would at an in-person meeting. Therefore, we want to give you additional information to facilitate your participation.
WILL THERE BE A QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION?
Yes, our stockholders will be able to meaningfully communicate with management as part of our virtual Annual Meeting. We will allow stockholders the opportunity to ask questions in a similar manner to an in-person meeting.
You may post a question during the registration process in advance of the virtual Annual Meeting. Additionally, once you have entered the virtual Annual Meeting platform, you will be able to type and submit your questions by using the applicable field provided in the web portal before the polls close. You or your proxy holder may participate, vote and ask questions at the virtual Annual Meeting subject to our Annual Meeting rules and procedures. We will post the Rules of Conduct to the virtual Annual Meeting platform. Only stockholders as of the record date or their proxy holders will be permitted to ask questions.
To make our virtual Annual Meeting more efficient, questions may be summarized and/or grouped topically for response and may also be omitted if inappropriate, not germane to the meeting agenda or in violation of any other rules and procedures. Any questions that comply with the Annual Meeting rules and procedures and are not addressed during the meeting will be published and answered as soon as practicable following the meeting on our Investor Relations website at www.kraton.com and will remain available until one week after posting.
