The physical portion of the meeting will be held as previously announced at the Company’s corporate office located at One Technology Park Drive, Westford, Massachusetts 01886. The addition of the virtual component will allow stockholders who cannot attend in person due to the coronavirus pandemic the opportunity to participate in the Annual Meeting.
Stockholders are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting if they were stockholders of record at the close of business on March 16, 2020, the record date, or beneficially held shares as of the record date and hold a legal proxy for the meeting provided by the stockholder’s bank, broker or nominee.
