Dear Stockholders:

 

On or about April 6, 2020, Landstar System, Inc.

This notice should be read in conjunction with the proxy statement. At the annual meeting, stockholders will be asked to elect two Class III Directors whose terms will expire at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2020, extend the term of the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan and hold an advisory vote on executive compensation.

 

As previously announced, the Annual Meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 19, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time for stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 24, 2020. The Company’s board of directors has approved a change in the location of the Annual Meeting to a virtual-only meeting format to align with public health guidelines. Participants will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person, and the Company expects its use of a virtual-only meeting format to be a one-time occurrence, effective only for 2020 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

 

The platform for the virtual Annual Meeting includes functionality that provides validated stockholders the same meeting participation rights and opportunities they would have at an in-person meeting. Instructions to access and log-in to the virtual Annual Meeting are provided below. Once admitted, stockholders may view reference materials, submit questions and vote their shares by following the instructions that will be available on the meeting website.

 

For admission to the Annual Meeting, stockholders may go to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LSTR2020 and enter the 16-digit control number you received with your proxy materials. Online access to the Annual Meeting will open at 8:45 a.m., Eastern Time on the morning of the meeting to allow time for shareholders to log-in prior to the start of the live audio webcast of the Annual Meeting at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Persons who do not have a control number may attend as guests and will be able to hear the audio webcast but will not be able to utilize the question, voting or other functionality noted above. A recording of the webcast will be available at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LSTR2020, beginning 24 hours after the conclusion of the meeting.

 

 
 

 

 

 

The Company encourages stockholders to vote in advance of the Annual Meeting by using one of the methods set forth below, whether or not stockholders plan to access the Annual Meeting. The proxy/voting instruction card included with the proxy materials previously distributed will not be updated to reflect the change in location and may continue to be used to vote shares in connection with the Annual Meeting.
