The New America High Income Fund, Inc. Announces Postponement of 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Change to a Virtual ...
17 Abril 2020 - 3:45PM
The New America High Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) (NYSE: HYB)
announced today that, due to the impacts of the coronavirus
pandemic (“COVID-19”), the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the
“Annual Meeting”) of The New America High Income Fund, Inc. (the
“Fund”) originally scheduled to be held on April 23, 2020, will be
postponed to Thursday, April 30, 2020, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern
Time. The February 11, 2020 record date (the “Record Date”)
for determining Stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting
remains unchanged. Additionally, the Annual Meeting will be a
virtual meeting hosted via a web-based portal. These changes
have been made out of an abundance of caution and are intended to
support the health and well-being of Stockholders.
Stockholders who held shares of the Fund’s Common Stock as of
the Record Date (i.e., Fund shares registered in the Stockholder’s
name directly with the Fund), may participate in, and vote at, the
Annual Meeting by: (i) accessing
https://web.lumiagm.com/246807392; (ii) entering
the control number found on the proxy card or notice previously
received; and (iii) entering the password new2020
(the password is case sensitive).
Stockholders who held shares of the Fund’s Common Stock through
an intermediary (such as a broker-dealer) as of the Record Date,
may participate in, and vote their shares at, the Annual Meeting,
after first obtaining a legal proxy from the intermediary.
Contact the intermediary to request a legal proxy form. After
obtaining a valid legal proxy from the intermediary, the
Stockholder must submit proof of the legal proxy reflecting the
number of shares owned, along with the Stockholder’s name and email
address, to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC
(“AST”) to register to attend the Annual Meeting. Requests
for registration should be directed to
proxy@astfinancial.com and must be received by AST no later
than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 29, 2020. AST will then
send confirmation of the Stockholder’s registration and a control
number by email. To attend the Annual Meeting: (i) access
https://web.lumiagm.com/246807392; (ii) enter the
control number received from AST; and (iii) enter the password
new2020 (the password is case sensitive).
Stockholders may access
https://go.lumiglobal.com/faq for assistance with
any questions regarding accessing the Annual Meeting.
If a Stockholder requests to attend the Annual Meeting at a
physical location, the Fund has designated the offices of Goodwin
Procter LLP (“Goodwin”), 100 Northern Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts
02210, for such purpose; however, no members of the Fund’s Board of
Directors or management will be present at that location during the
Annual Meeting. The Fund and Goodwin are sensitive to the
health and travel concerns of the Fund’s Stockholders and the
evolving recommendations from public health officials. Due to
the difficulties arising from COVID-19, the location, means or
other details of attending the Annual Meeting may change. In
the event of such a change, and if a Stockholder of record has
requested to attend the Annual Meeting at Goodwin’s Boston offices,
then the Fund will issue a press release announcing the change and
file the announcement on the SEC’s EDGAR system, among other steps,
but may not deliver additional soliciting materials to Stockholders
or otherwise amend the proxy materials. The Fund plans to
announce these changes, if any, at
http://www.newamerica-hyb.com/sitemap.html#press_release, and
encourages Stockholders to check for new press releases prior to
the Annual Meeting.
Whether or not a Stockholder plans to participate in the Annual
Meeting, the Fund urges all Stockholders to complete, sign, date
and return the proxy card that was previously distributed, or to
vote shares via the Internet or by touch-tone telephone.
