Tanger Announces Adjournment of Annual Shareholders Meeting to May 30, 2007
GREENSBORO, N.C., May 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. (NYSE: SKT) announced today that the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, reconvened today from the meeting originally held on May 18, 2007, was adjourned to May 30, 2007 at 4:00 p.m. to continue the consideration of Proposal #4 to amend the Company's articles of incorporation, which in effect would create four new classes of preferred shares, each class having four million shares with a par value of $.01 per share. The reconvened meeting will be held on May 30, 2007 at 4:00 p.m. at the Company's offices, 3200 Northline Avenue, Suite 360, Greensboro, NC.
With respect to Proposal #4, management believes it will provide the Company with greater flexibility in connection with future transactions such as acquisitions or corporate capital raising purposes. The Company intends to use the additional classes of preferred shares for capital formation purposes rather than anti-takeover purposes so that any class of the newly authorized shares will not have voting power that exceeds the shares' economic interest in the Company in violation of New York Stock Exchange rule 313 for listed companies, and expects such issuances will be consistent with past issuances by the Company of preferred shares. Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) has recommended that the Company's shareholders vote FOR this proposal.
Shareholders as of the close of business on March 29, 2007 are entitled to vote by proxy, or in person at the meeting. Questions regarding the voting of shares may be directed towards the Company's proxy solicitor, Georgeson Inc. at (212) 440-9800.
Shareholders are advised to read the definitive proxy materials delivered in connection with the solicitation of proxies from shareholders of the Company. Copies of the proxy materials filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission may be obtained, free of charge, from the SEC's Web site, www.sec.gov, or the Company's Web site, www.tangeroutlet.com. These proxy materials may also be obtained free of charge by contacting the Company's proxy solicitor at the number provided above.
