[Subject Line] Upcoming Annual Meeting

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

With our December 15th annual meeting of shareholders fast approaching, we are entering a period of heightened activity related to our ongoing proxy contest. During these final days of our outreach, proxy advisory firms, which provide information to shareholders about how to vote, are issuing their recommendations.

 

This morning, we issued a press release highlighting that the two most prominent advisory firms, ISS and Glass Lewis, recommend shareholders vote “FOR” our nominees. Members of our Board of Directors and management team had an opportunity to meet with ISS and Glass Lewis to share why we believe our nominees are best positioned to oversee Argo, and it is clear our story resonated.

 

While these recommendations do not determine the outcome of the contest, we are very proud and encouraged by the result. You all deserve a tremendous amount of credit for supporting our efforts and executing our strategy.

 

If you are currently an Argo shareholder, and have not yet voted, The Board recommends you vote “FOR” all seven of Argo’s director nominees on the BLUE proxy card. Every vote is important – regardless of how many shares you own.

 

Thank you for your continued hard work and dedication.

 

Sincerely,

Tom
