Accel to Hold Virtual Annual Meeting of Shareholders
CHICAGO APRIL 29, 2020 Accel Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: ACEL) today announced it will host its 2020 annual meeting of shareholders in a virtual format only due to the public health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and to prioritize the health and well-being of participants. The virtual meeting will be at the same date and time as previously disclosed in Accels proxy materials.
Virtual meeting date: | May 6, 2020 | |
Virtual meeting time: | 5:00 p.m. CT | |
Virtual meeting link: | www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ACEL2020 |
Shareholders of record at the close of business on March 17, 2020 are invited to vote their shares and register for the meeting at proxyvote.com using the instructions provided with their proxy materials that were issued beginning March 27, 2020. Shareholders may submit questions in advance when they register for the meeting, and they also will have the opportunity to submit questions during the virtual event using the directions on the meeting website that day. All shareholders will need their control number to vote or ask questions; that number can be found on the proxy cards, voting instruction forms or other notices they received previously. Those without a control number may attend as guests of the meeting, but they will not have the option to vote their shares or ask questions during the virtual event.
Technical assistance will be available for those attending the meeting.
Whether or not shareholders plan to attend the virtual-only annual meeting, Accel urges shareholders to vote and submit their proxies in advance of the meeting by one of the methods described in the proxy materials.
