Green Dot Urges Stockholders to Vote on the WHITE Proxy Card “FOR” its Highly-Qualified and Experienced Directors

May 23rd Annual Meeting Fast Approaching

PASADENA, Calif. - May 20, 2016 - Green Dot Corporation (NYSE: GDOT) (the “Company”) today urged stockholders to vote on the WHITE proxy card today “FOR” the reelection of Green Dot’s highly-qualified and experienced director nominees: Steven W. Streit, Timothy R. Greenleaf and Michael J. Moritz. The Board has also committed to appoint Mr. George W. Gresham to an expanded Board if stockholders do not elect him at the meeting. Time is running out - the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held on Monday, May 23, 2016.
Now is a pivotal moment for Green Dot. The Company is in the midst of creating significant stockholder value and is delivering on its Six-Step Plan to achieve at least $1.75 in Non-GAAP EPS by 2017. By voting “FOR” Green Dot’s highly-qualified and experienced director nominees, stockholders will ensure Green Dot continues its positive momentum and progress.
Green Dot is confident that it has the right leadership in place, and specifically the right CEO, Steve Streit, to continue managing the successful execution of its Six-Step Plan, which has already set Green Dot on a path to sustained growth and value creation. Green Dot’s Board is committed to representing the interests of all Green Dot stockholders. Further, the Board is committed to holding Green Dot’s management team accountable for delivering the performance improvements outlined in the Six-Step Plan.
As previously announced, in the event George W. Gresham, is not elected to the Board, the Board has committed to appoint Mr. Gresham, subject to his acceptance, to an expanded Board promptly after the 2016 Annual Meeting.
