Stockholder Proposals for the 2019 Annual Meeting
In order for any stockholder proposal submitted pursuant to Rule
14a-8
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to
be included in our Proxy Statement to be issued in connection with our 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, such proposal must be received by us no later than February 5, 2019 and otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule
14a-8.
Any notice of a proposal submitted outside the processes of Rule
14a-8
which a
stockholder intends to bring forth at our 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must comply with the provisions of our
by-laws.
Any such notice will be untimely for purposes of our
by-laws
if it is received by us after February 5, 2019. See the heading The Board of Directors and Committees of the Board and the subheading Corporate Governance Committee for
information regarding submission of a director nomination for consideration by the Corporate Governance Committee.
All such communications regarding the 2019
Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be provided in writing and be directed to the attention of the Companys Secretary, Constellation Brands, Inc., 207 High Point Drive, Building 100, Victor, New York 14564.
If we receive a notice after February 5, 2019, then the notice is untimely, and we will not have an obligation to present the proposal at the 2019 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders. If the Company chooses to present a proposal that a stockholder submits other than pursuant to Rule
14a-8
at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, then the person(s) appointed by the Board
and named in the proxies for the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders may exercise discretionary voting power with respect to that proposal.
Householding of Proxy Materials
We and some brokers household the Annual Report and proxy materials, delivering a single copy of each to
multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or us that your materials will be househeld to your address, householding will
continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If at any time you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate copy of the proxy materials, including the Annual Report, or if you
are receiving multiple copies of the proxy materials and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker, if your shares are held in a brokerage account, or us, if you hold registered shares, at which time we will promptly deliver separate
copies of the materials to each of the affected stockholders or discontinue the practice, according to your wishes. You can notify us by sending a written request to Constellation Brands, Inc., Attn: Investor Relations, 207 High Point Drive,
Building 100, Victor, New York 14564 or by telephone at
888-922-2150.
