Dear Fellow Shareholder:
We are writing to encourage you to vote your shares at our Annual Shareholders Meeting.
The meeting, originally scheduled for June 23, 2020, was convened and then adjourned, without conducting any business, until Friday, July 17, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time, in order to facilitate solicitation of additional proxies with respect to approval of Proposal 2, authorizing the board of directors to carry out a reverse split of our common stock.
While a substantial majority of the shares voted in favor of Proposal 2, the favorable votes were less than a majority of all outstanding shares which is required for approval of such proposal.
Houston American Energy’s continued listing on the NYSE American exchange is contingent upon approval of the reverse stock split called for in Proposal 2. We strongly believe that our exchange listing greatly enhancing our liquidity and access to capital, among other benefits.
Our records indicate that, as of May 6, 2020, the “Record Date” for the Annual Shareholders Meeting, you held shares of our common stock and, therefore, you are entitled to vote on the matters described in our Proxy Statement previously mailed to you.
Our records indicate that we have not yet received your vote. Remember, your vote is important, no matter how large or small your holdings may be. Please take a moment to vote your shares!
Our Board of Directors, including our Independent Directors, recommends that you vote your shares in favor of each of the Proposals described in the Proxy Statement.
Voting promptly may help reduce costs that we may incur soliciting votes. If we do not receive your proxy, you may receive a call from a proxy solicitation firm reminding you to exercise your right to vote.
Thank you in advance for your participation and your consideration in this extremely important matter.
