Dear Fellow Cedar Fair Unitholders:
Our Board of Directors has recognized that unitholders want the right to nominate directors for election to the Board. They have proposed two amendments that would allow unitholders to have this right. Although we do not see eye-to-eye with the Board on many issues, we do support what the Board has proposed here, and we do give credit where credit is due.
Additionally, ISS, the world's leading independent proxy advisory firm, has recommended its clients vote FOR each of the two proposals because it is in the best interest of unitholders and is in accordance with best corporate governance practices.
It is critically important that all unitholders (i) check the FOR box, (ii) sign and (iii) date their proxy cards. Because of the extremely high threshold set by the Board, consistent with the Regulations, each unitholder must vote its Units, as simply not voting will count as a vote against both Board Proposals.
Q Investments urges unitholders to vote FOR each of the two director nomination resolutions. If you have misplaced the proxy card from the Company, another identical card is enclosed for your convenience. You can also vote by calling (800) 454-8683 or do so online at www.proxyvote.com. Make sure to have your proxy card available when voting by telephone or online.
Sincerely yours,
Q Funding III & Q4 Funding
