This excerpt taken from the GCO DEF 14A filed May 18, 2007. PROXY STATEMENT
FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 2007
The board of directors of Genesco Inc. (“Genesco” or
the “Company”) is requesting proxies to be voted at
the annual meeting of shareholders. The meeting will be held at
the Company’s executive offices at
10:00 a.m. Central Time, on Wednesday, June 27,
2007. The Company’s executive offices are located at
Genesco Park, 1415 Murfreesboro Road, Nashville, Tennessee
37217. The notice that accompanies this statement describes the
items on the meeting agenda.
The Company will pay the cost of the proxy solicitation. In
addition to this request, officers, directors and regular
employees of the Company may solicit proxies personally and by
mail, facsimile or telephone. They will receive no extra
compensation for any solicitation activities. The Company has
retained Georgeson Shareholder Communications, Inc. to assist in
the proxy solicitation. It will pay Georgeson a fee of $50,000,
plus $5.00 per completed telephone call to shareholders in
the event that active solicitation is required, and reimburse
its expenses. The Company will request brokers, nominees,
fiduciaries and other custodians to forward soliciting material
to the beneficial owners of shares and will reimburse the
expenses they incur in doing so.
All valid proxies will be voted as the board of directors
recommends, unless the proxy card specifies otherwise. A
shareholder may revoke a proxy before the proxy is voted at the
annual meeting by giving written notice of revocation to the
secretary of the Company, by executing and delivering a
later-dated proxy or by attending the annual meeting and voting
in person the shares the proxy represents.
The board of directors does not know of any matter that will be
considered at the annual meeting other than those the
accompanying notice describes. If any other matter properly
comes before the meeting, persons named as proxies will use
their best judgment to decide how to vote on it.
This proxy material was first mailed to shareholders on or about
May 18, 2007.
