Regular Proxy Prizes
The deadline for voting by ballot at the Annual Meeting is October 17, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Alaska Time. Ballot votes are not included in the Proxy Prize drawing at the Annual Meeting.
Candidate Speech Format: At the Aleut Picnic
To ensure more shareholders have access to candidate information before voting, board candidate speeches will now be delivered at the Aleut Picnic.
Why this change?
Since the vast majority of votes are cast before the annual meeting, allowing candidate speeches at the picnic and sharing speeches earlier gives shareholders the opportunity to hear directly from candidates before submitting their ballots.
Q&A Format
To support a more inclusive and informative experience, questions at the meeting will be submitted via online form rather than through an open microphone. Click the button below to submit a question or view questions submitted for discussion at the Annual Meeting Shareholder Q&A Panel.
Why this change?
The Aleut Board, Management, and staff have received overwhelming feedback indicating that shareholders prefer the option to submit questions in writing rather than speaking at a microphone. This approach is more inclusive to all our shareholders and allows Aleut to provide more detailed and accurate responses, ensuring every question receives thoughtful attention.
New Way to Connect with the Aleut board
To make it easier for shareholders to share ideas, proposals, or concerns, Aleut has introduced a dedicated email in place of the inflexible Shareholder Resolution process.
