About Election Connection

Our most precious responsibility

At Sealaska, we believe that the benefits of being a shareholder also come with a precious responsibility. Your stock also comes with the right – and, we believe, the obligation – to vote in Sealaska’s annual board elections each spring.

Voting is open now, and proxies can be voted online here, or sent by mail, fax or delivered in person to the Inspector of Elections, all by the deadline of 5 p.m. Alaska time on June 27, 2024. A ballot can also be voted in person at the annual meeting of shareholders in Sitka on June 29. 2024. For more information and instructions on voting your proxy, please find the proxy statement here.

This is #YourSealaskaElection. Engage with your corporation and make sure your voice is heard by voting! We appreciate your support and participation.

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT THE 51st ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF SEALASKA CORPORATION WILL BE HELD IN SITKA, ALASKA AT THE HARRIGAN CENTENNIAL HALL, 330 HARBOR DRIVE, AND STREAMED VIRTUALLY, ON SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 2024, AT 1 P.M. ALASKA TIME.

The purposes of this meeting are to:
  • Hear a report on Sealaska’s business operations and activities for the year ended December 31, 2023.
  • Elect five (5) Directors whose terms will expire at the annual meeting in 2027.
  • Vote on a Sealaska resolution to amend the Articles of Incorporation.
  • Vote on a Sealaska shareholder advisory resolution.
  • Carry out any other business that may properly be brought before the meeting.
Although we do not know of any other business to be considered at the 2024 annual meeting, if any other business is presented at the annual meeting, your signed proxy card gives authority to Sealaska Proxyholders Morgan Howard, Richard Rinehart and Jodi Mitchell to vote on such matters according to their best judgment.

Holders of the voting stock of record at 5 p.m. Alaska time, on the record date April 22, 2024, are entitled to vote at the 2024 annual meeting. On that date, Sealaska had 3,038,586 outstanding shares of stock, and 2,574,533 of those were entitled to vote.

Please submit your proxy as soon as possible to ensure that your shares will be voted on. Voting instructions are on pages 6–7 of this proxy statement and online at MySealaska.com. If you have any questions or want to confirm that your proxy has been received, you may call the Inspectors of Election and Voting at 907.789.3178 or toll-free 1.800.478.3178.

Each shareholder who returns a valid proxy before the deadline, whether online, in the mail, delivered in person, by fax, or by voting in person at the meeting, will receive a one-time payment of $50. If you qualify for this incentive, you can choose to contribute it directly to Sealaska Heritage Institute (SHI) Native Language Programs. Just mark the appropriate box on your proxy. You may also make this contribution in the memory of someone by writing their name(s) in the blank space.

All proxies must be received by the Independent Inspectors of Election and Voting in Juneau before 5 p.m. Alaska time on June 27, 2024. Proxies received after that date and time will not be voted at the annual meeting and will not be eligible for the $50 incentive. You may vote in person at the annual meeting in Sitka, Alaska on Saturday, June 29, 2024 and still be eligible for the $50 incentive.

Shareholders, please join us in Sitka, at the Harrigan Centennial Hall, or online for the Annual Meeting on Saturday, June 29, 2024. We greatly appreciate your participation in the Sealaska election and annual meeting.

Sincerely,

Catrina Mitchell
Corporate Secretary
