Dear Fellow Employees:

As I’m sure you are all aware, the special meeting to approve the merger with A. Schulman is next week, on Wednesday April 28. 

Your vote is important. We strongly encourage you to vote .  

You should have already received your proxy card(s) for voting.  If you did not, please let Ian Chin ( [e-mail] ), Dana Bain ( [e-mail] ) or me know, so that we can address the situation.

You may vote by phone, mail, or internet.  Please see the instructions for voting on your proxy card(s).

If you have registered shares, including restricted shares, or hold shares in a brokerage account (NOBO’s only), ICO’s proxy solicitor Georgeson can take your vote orally.  You can reach Georgeson at:

 

       From within the United States:  800-868-1381

                     From outside the U.S. (foreign):  [phone] (only during 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time).

Note that if you hold ICO shares in your 401k stock fund, you must follow the directions on the proxy card to vote (Georgeson cannot take your vote by phone).

As 2/3 of the ICO shareholders must approve the transaction, every vote counts !  So again, we strongly encourage you to vote.
