The Annual Meeting of Shareowners of OGE Energy Corp. will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday, May 20, at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City for the following purposes:
|
(1)
|
To elect three members of the Board of Directors
|
|
(2)
|
To amend the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws to provide for the annual election of directors
|
|
(3)
|
To ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our principal independent accountants
|
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR all three proposals.
Most company members are shareowners through benefit plans like the Retirement Savings Plan (401k) administered by Fidelity Investments and as shareowners 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:
|
●
|
Internet: www.proxyvote.com
|
|
●
|
Telephone: 1-800-690-6903
|
|
●
|
Mail: Return the Proxy Card in the postage paid envelope
|
When voting on the Internet or by telephone, shareowners 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 shareowner proxy voting will be announced during the Annual Meeting on May 20.
