Dear Fellow WHLR Owner,
IF YOU WANT TO SUPPORT THE STILWELL GROUP, PLEASE VOTE ONLY ON OUR GREEN PROXY CARD. PLEASE DO NOT VOTE “AGAINST” WHEELER DIRECTORS ON THEIR WHITE PROXY CARD.
VOTING “AGAINST” WHEELER DIRECTORS ON THEIR WHITE PROXY CARD WILL CANCEL YOUR VOTE FOR THE STILWELL GROUP’S NOMINEES.
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY VOTED “AGAINST” WHEELER DIRECTORS ON THEIR WHITE PROXY CARD, YOU CAN CORRECT YOUR VOTE BY SUBMITTING THE ENCLOSED GREEN PROXY CARD “FOR” THE STILWELL GROUP’S NOMINEES.
ONLY YOUR LATEST DATED PROXY CARD WILL COUNT.
Sincerely,
Megan Parisi
