In light of public health concerns, the Special Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only, via live webcast. You will not be able to attend the Special Meeting in person. However, this change in location does not impact the ability of TGE Shareholders to vote in advance of the Special Meeting by one of the methods described in the Proxy Statement.

The Special Meeting will be held on Thursday, April 16, 2020 at 9:00 a.m., Central Time, as previously announced.

As described in the Notice of Special Meeting and Proxy Statement of TGE (the “Proxy Statement”), dated March 12, 2020, furnished to the TGE Shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting, you are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting if you were a TGE Shareholder of record as of the close of business on March 12, 2020, the record date for the Special Meeting.
