Shee Atiká Incorporated Board of Directors

Shee Atiká Incorporated's Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors shall consist of nine (9) members, three (3) of whom are normally elected in any one year. The three candidates receiving the highest total votes shall serve terms which expire after serving a three year term. Each Class A Common Stockholder may "cumulate" his or her votes in the election of Directors. The right to cumulate votes means that you, the shareholder may, at your discretion (i) vote all your votes in favor of one candidate or (ii) divide your votes in any manner among any candidates that are up for nomination in that current year.

Your total number of votes for the election of Directors is three (3) times the number of shares that you own. The number of shares that you own on the Record Date is printed on a shareholder's proxy. For example, if a shareholder owns 100 shares of voting stock, 300 votes are available to apply in any manner in the election of Directors. All 300 votes could be voted for any one candidate, or, the votes could be divided among any number of candidates. Shareholders' right to cumulate their votes in the election of Directors may be exercised either at the Annual Meeting or by proxy.
When an individual is elected as a Director of Shee Atiká, Incorporated such persons automatically become a Trustee of the Shee Atiká Fund Endowment and of the Shee Atiká Benefits Trust.
