This year's Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be in an online format. We believe a virtual Annual Meeting enables increased stockholder participation from locations around the world, and maintains a lower cost to our stockholders and our company, as compared to an in-person meeting.
The virtual meeting has been designed to provide the same rights to participate as you would have at an in-person meeting. Holders of our Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock may attend the virtual Annual Meeting. During the virtual meeting, holders of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock may ask questions and will have the opportunity to vote to the same extent as they would at an in-person meeting of stockholders. Holders of our Class C Common Stock may participate in the virtual Annual Meeting in a view-only format and will not be able to submit questions during the meeting or vote on any matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting. However, in advance of the meeting, holders of our Class C Common Stock may submit questions by contacting Investor Relations here. We will respond to as many inquiries at the Annual Meeting as time allows.
The Annual Meeting of Stockholders will begin promptly at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. Online check-in will begin at 11:45 AM Eastern Time, and you should allow ample time for the online check-in procedures.
If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number included in your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompany your proxy materials. If you are a holder of Class C Common Stock, you may attend the Annual Meeting without a 16-digit control number by accessing the meeting as a guest.
If any difficulties are encountered while accessing the virtual meeting, contact the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual meeting log-in page. Technical support will be available beginning at the check-in time and will remain available until the meeting has ended.
