Dear
Fellow Employees:
As I’m
sure you are all aware, the special meeting to approve the merger with A.
Schulman is next week, on Wednesday April 28.
Your vote
is important. We strongly encourage you to vote
.
You
should have already received your proxy card(s) for voting. If you did
not, please let Ian Chin (
ichin@icopolymers.com
),
Dana Bain (
dbain@icopolymers.com
)
or me know, so that we can address the situation.
You may
vote by phone, mail, or internet. Please see the instructions for voting
on your proxy card(s).
If you
have registered shares, including restricted shares, or hold shares in a
brokerage account (NOBO’s only), ICO’s proxy solicitor Georgeson can take your
vote orally. You can reach Georgeson at:
From within the United
States: 800-868-1381
From
outside the U.S. (foreign): +1 212-806-6859 (only during 9:00 a.m. – 6:00
p.m. Eastern Time).
Note that
if you hold ICO shares in your 401k stock fund, you must follow the directions
on the proxy card to vote (Georgeson cannot take your vote by
phone).
As 2/3 of
the ICO shareholders must approve the transaction,
every vote counts
! So
again, we strongly encourage you to vote.
