“2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders: 5 Things to Know – Vote the WHITE Proxy Card”
1. Arconic’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is scheduled for May 16, 2017. Arconic shareholders will be asked to vote on several proposals, including nominees for election to the Board of Directors.
2. Arconic has recommended five highly qualified and experienced nominees and urges shareholders to review the detailed information regarding these candidates in Arconic’s proxy materials.
3. Arconic will soon be sending shareholders a detailed proxy statement and WHITE proxy card in connection with the Annual Meeting. You may be receiving proxy materials from affiliates of Elliott Management Corporation, a shareholder that has nominated its own slate of four director candidates in opposition to your Board’s director nominees. Your Board recommends that you refrain from making any voting decision until you have had a chance to carefully review the Arconic proxy materials. The Board urges you to Vote the WHITE proxy card and to discard any BLUE proxy card you might receive from Elliott Management.
4. Arconic’s Board is independent, engaged and focused on increasing shareholder value, and Arconic’s Director nominees provide fresh perspectives and relevant skill and expertise that are critical to Arconic’s success. The Board’s nominees have critical industry and commercial insights into global aerospace and transportation markets. Learn more.
