Dear Stockholder,

 

You recently received proxy materials in connection with a Special Meeting of Stockholders of Advance America, Cash Advance Centers, Inc. to be held on Friday, April 20, 2012, to approve the merger of our Company with a subsidiary of Grupo Elektra S.A. de C.V.  According to our records, your PROXY VOTE for this Special Meeting HAS NOT YET BEEN RECEIVED .

 

Advance America is asking stockholders to vote on:

 

Proposal 1.                                    Adoption and Approval of the Agreement and Plan of Merger

Proposal 2.                                    Approval of Executive Compensation Payable in Connection with the Merger.

Proposal 3.                                    Approval of an Adjournment or Postponement of the Special Meeting.

 

You should refer to the proxy materials previously mailed to you for additional information on this matter.

 

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a “FOR” vote on the proposals referenced above.  Also, because Proposal 1 – to approve the Merger Agreement – requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares eligible to vote, by not responding to this solicitation you are essentially casting your vote “Against” this proposal .
