Dear Shareholder,
You recently received proxy materials in connection with the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Park National Corporation to be held on Monday, April 18, 2011. Your PROXY VOTE for this Annual Meeting HAS NOT YET BEEN RECEIVED.
Park National Corporation is asking shareholders to vote on:
|
Proposal 1:
|
Election of Directors
|
|
Proposal 2:
|
Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation
|
|
|
Proposal 3:
|
Amendment to Article SIXTH of Park’s Articles of Incorporation
|
|
|
Proposal 4:
|
Ratification of Appointment of Crowe Horwath LLP
|
You should refer to the proxy materials previously mailed to you for additional information on these matters.
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR ALL” of the director nominees and a “FOR” vote on the other proposals referenced above. Also, because Proposal 3 -- to amend Article SIXTH of the Articles of Incorporation - requires an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding common shares eligible to vote, by not responding to this opportunity to vote your common shares, you are essentially casting your vote “AGAINST” this proposal.
Therefore, regardless of the number of common shares you own, it is important that your vote is represented at the Annual Meeting. Your vote matters to us and we need your support.
Please vote your common shares now so that your vote can be counted without delay. Voting is easy. You may use one of the options below to ensure that your vote is promptly recorded in time for the Annual Meeting:
