NEWS RELEASE
ZUMIEZ INC. UPDATE REGARDING ITS ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
LYNNWOOD, Wash., May 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Zumiez Inc. (NASDAQ: ZUMZ) today announced an update regarding its Annual Meeting of Shareholders originally scheduled to take place on Wednesday, June 3, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) at its Distribution Center located in Corona, California. Given the COVID-19 pandemic and the presence of various stay-at-home orders and travel restrictions, and to support the health and safety of shareholders and employees, the location of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders will change to the Company’s Home Office located at 4001 204th Street SW, Lynnwood, Washington 98036 on the same date and time as originally scheduled. While the Company had hoped to hold the meeting this year at its Distribution Center, under the circumstances, the meeting will be moved back to its Home Office, which is traditionally where it has been held each year. The meeting will be conducted with appropriate physical distancing and other health and safety protocols in place. The Company believes this one-time change will have a limited impact in part given the historically low attendance at the annual meeting (usually only one to three outside shareholders) and that shareholders may vote via the internet, by telephone or by proxy card as outlined in the Company’s previously distributed Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement.
