W. P. Carey Inc. (NYSE: WPC) announced today that its 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, originally scheduled to be held on Thursday, June 20, 2013, has been postponed and will now be held on Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 4:00 p.m. at The TimesCenter, 242 West 41st Street, New York, NY 10018. No changes have been made to the record date or the proposals to be brought before the Annual Meeting, which are presented in the Proxy Statement and related materials that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2013.
W. P. Carey decided to postpone the meeting after it was informed of a processing error made by Broadridge Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE: BR), the firm engaged to distribute W. P. Carey's proxy materials to its Stockholders. As a result of this error, some beneficial Stockholders did not receive all of the proxy materials. Accordingly, the Company decided to postpone the Annual Meeting in order to distribute the materials to the affected Stockholders and provide them with sufficient time to consider the proposals to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.
W. P. Carey will continue to solicit votes during the postponement. Stockholders who have already submitted a proxy or voting instructions and do not wish to change their vote need not take any further action; shares will be voted as originally directed. Stockholders who have not yet submitted a proxy or wish to change their vote may vote their shares by using the telephone or through the Internet. Instructions for using these services are set forth on the proxy card. Stockholders who attend the Annual Meeting may withdraw their previously submitted proxy and vote in person.
