How does the voting service work?

As part of the service, after ConnectOne files its proxy statement, your shares will be voted according to the Board of Directors' recommendations. You can change your vote on any proposal related to any meeting by following the voting instructions included with your proxy materials.

Who can participate in this free service?

All shareholders, including beneficial owners, registered shareholders, and participants in company-sponsored equity or retirement plans. The service doesn't limit your voting choices—you can always vote differently on any proposal. If you opt in but later vote directly on a specific proposal, your vote will override the Board recommendation. As always, you'll receive proxy materials before each meeting, outlining all the proposals and the Board's recommendations.

What can I expect after enrolling?

Once you enroll, your shares will be voted according to the Board's recommendations—no further action is needed on your part. However, you can change your vote on any proposal at any time by voting directly; your most recent vote will always take precedence. You will continue to receive proxy materials before each meeting, which will outline all proposals and the Board’s recommendations.

Can I opt out of the service later?

You can opt out of the service at any time and at no cost, which will stop your votes from being cast. If you decide to opt out after ConnectOne has filed a definitive proxy statement for an upcoming meeting, then your opt-out will apply to all future meetings after that one. For the current meeting, you can still change your vote by following the instructions in your proxy materials.
