This excerpt taken from the GIS DEF 14A filed Aug 10, 2009. DELIVERY AND
VIEWING OF PROXY MATERIALS
Electronic Delivery of Proxy
Materials. Simply follow the instructions on
your proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy
Materials to vote via the Internet, or go directly to
www.icsdelivery.com/gis, to register your consent to
receive our annual report and this proxy statement in a fast and
efficient manner via the Internet. This reduces the amount of
paper delivered to a stockholder’s address and eliminates
the cost of sending these documents by mail. You may elect to
view all future annual reports and proxy statements on the
Internet instead of receiving them by mail. Your election to
view proxy materials online is perpetual unless you revoke it
later. Future proxy cards mailed to you will contain the
Internet website address and instructions to view the materials.
You will continue to have the option to vote your shares by
mail, telephone or the Internet. Certain employee stockholders
who have valid work
e-mail
addresses will not receive a proxy card in the mail but may vote
by telephone or via the Internet.
Delivery of Proxy Materials to
Households. SEC rules allow us to deliver a
single copy of an annual report and proxy statement to any
household at which two or more stockholders reside. This rule
benefits everyone. We believe it eliminates duplicate mailings
that stockholders living at the same address receive, and it
reduces our printing and mailing costs. This rule applies to any
annual reports, proxy statements, proxy statements combined with
a prospectus and information statements.
If your household would like to receive single rather than
duplicate mailings in the future, please write to Broadridge
Investor Communications Solutions, Householding Department, 51
Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717, or call
800-542-1061.
Each stockholder will continue to receive a separate proxy card
or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. If a
broker or other nominee holds your shares, you may continue to
receive some duplicate mailings. Certain brokers will eliminate
duplicate account mailings by allowing stockholders to consent
to such elimination, or through implied consent if a stockholder
does not request continuation of duplicate mailings. Since not
all brokers and nominees offer stockholders the opportunity to
eliminate duplicate mailings, you may need to contact your
broker or nominee directly to discontinue duplicate mailings
from your broker to your household.
Your household may have received a single copy of the Notice of
Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or a single set of
proxy materials this year. If you would like to receive another
copy of this year’s Notice or proxy materials, please write
to Broadridge Investor Communications Solutions, Householding
Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717, or call
800-542-1061.
This excerpt taken from the GIS DEF 14A filed Aug 12, 2008. DELIVERY AND
VIEWING OF PROXY MATERIALS
Electronic Delivery of Proxy
Materials. We are able to distribute our
annual report and this proxy statement to our stockholders in a
fast and efficient manner via the Internet. This reduces the
amount of paper delivered to a stockholder’s address and
eliminates the cost of sending these documents by mail.
Stockholders may elect to view all future annual reports and
proxy statements on the Internet instead of receiving them by
mail. You may make this election when voting your proxy this
year. Simply follow the instructions on your proxy card to vote
via the Internet or go directly to www.icsdelivery.com/gis
to register your consent. Your election to view proxy
materials online is perpetual unless you revoke it later. Future
proxy cards will contain the Internet website address and
instructions to view the materials. You will continue to have
the option to vote your shares by mail, telephone or the
Internet. Certain employee stockholders who have valid work
e-mail
addresses will not receive a proxy card in the mail but may vote
by telephone or via the Internet.
Delivery of Proxy Materials to
Households. SEC rules allow us to deliver a
single copy of an annual report and proxy statement to any
household at which two or more stockholders reside, if we
believe the stockholders are members of the same family. This
rule benefits both you and us. We believe it eliminates
duplicate mailings that stockholders living at the same address
receive, and it reduces our printing and mailing costs. This
rule applies to any annual reports, proxy statements, proxy
statements combined with a prospectus and information statements.
