Events.
Stratus
Properties Inc. (“Stratus”) has tentatively scheduled its 2010 annual meeting of
stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on Tuesday, August 10, 2010, subject to
approval by the Board of Directors. The official notice of the Annual Meeting is
expected to be sent on or about June 30, 2010.
The
Annual Meeting is being held more than 30 days before the anniversary of
Stratus’ 2009 annual meeting of stockholders held on November 5, 2009.
Accordingly, certain notice deadlines provided in Stratus’ 2009 proxy statement,
dated September 28, 2009, under the heading “Stockholder Proposals” and
“Consideration of Director Nominees” have changed.
If a
stockholder would like for Stratus to consider including a proposal in Stratus’
2010 proxy statement, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, it must be delivered in writing to: Secretary,
Stratus Properties Inc., 98 San Jacinto Boulevard, Suite 220, Austin, Texas
78701 by March 2, 2010. Such proposal must also meet the other
specific procedural requirements of the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission relating to stockholder proposals.
In
addition, Stratus’ by-laws permit stockholders to (i) propose business to be
presented at Stratus’ annual stockholder meeting and (ii) nominate candidates
directly for consideration at Stratus’ annual stockholder meeting. If
the date of the annual stockholder meeting is moved to a date more than 90 days
after or 30 days before the anniversary of the previous year’s annual
stockholder meeting, any proposal of business to be conducted at the annual
stockholder meeting and any nomination must be received no later than 90 days
prior to the date of the annual stockholder meeting or 10 days following the
public announcement of the date of the annual stockholder meeting, whichever is
later. Accordingly, if a stockholder would like to present a
stockholder proposal at the Annual Meeting but does not wish to have it included
in Stratus’ 2010 proxy statement, or if a stockholder would like to nominate a
candidate directly for consideration at Stratus’ Annual Meeting, the stockholder
must submit such business or nomination in writing to Stratus’ secretary, at the
above address, by May 12, 2010, in accordance with the specific
procedural requirements in Stratus’ by-laws.
