The Board of Directors (the Board) of Earthstone Energy, Inc. (the Company) has established December 21, 2017 as the date of the Companys 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the 2017 Annual Meeting) and established the close of business on November 21, 2017 as the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the 2017 Annual Meeting.
Since the date of the 2017 Annual Meeting is more than 30 calendar days from the anniversary date of the Companys 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company is informing its stockholders of this change and the updated deadline for submitting any qualified stockholder proposal in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and the Amended and Restated Bylaws (the Bylaws) of the Company.
If a stockholder intends to nominate a candidate for election to the Board or to propose other business for consideration at the 2017 Annual Meeting to be included in the Companys proxy statement relating to the 2017 Annual Meeting, such notice must be received by the Company at its principal executive offices no later than the close of business on November 20, 2017, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to distribute its proxy materials prior to the 2017 Annual Meeting. Any such proposal must also meet the requirements set forth in the Bylaws and the rules and regulations of the SEC in order to be eligible for inclusion in the Companys proxy materials for the 2017 Annual Meeting.
