The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of OGE Energy Corp. will be held at 10 a.m., Thursday, May 17, 2012 at the Skirvin Hilton Hotel in Oklahoma City for the following purposes:
(1) | To elect seven members of the Board of Directors |
(2) | To ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's principal independent accountants for 2012 |
(3) | To hold an advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation |
(4) | To consider a shareholder proposal regarding simple majority voting |
The Board of Directors recommends a vote to elect seven members of the Board of Directors in proposal (1) and FOR proposals (2) and (3). The Board of Directors recommends you vote AGAINST proposal (4).
Most company members are shareholders through benefit plans like the Retirement Savings Plan (401(k)) administered by Fidelity Investments and as shareholders are entitled to vote. The company would like to emphasize the importance of everyone voting their shares. Active members who own OGE shares through the Retirement Savings Plan will receive a proxy card with instructions for voting by one of three methods:
Ÿ | Internet: | www.proxyvote.com | |
Ÿ | Telephone: | 1-800-690-6903 | |
Ÿ | Mail: | Return the Proxy Card in the postage paid envelope | |
When voting on the Internet or by telephone, shareholders will need their control number which is printed on the proxy card.
Electronic voting and Web site posting of financial reports and proxy information help the company save thousands of dollars in printing, mailing and handling costs. Every member who participates in the electronic voting process, by Internet or telephone, contributes to the savings.
Members requiring more information should notify Todd Tidwell via e-mail at tidweltj@oge.com.
Results of the shareholder proxy voting will be announced during the Annual Meeting on May 17.
