Letter from the President

Sep 10, 2024

Dear Unangax̂ Family,

As termination dust starts creeping down the mountains, we start preparations for the annual meeting.

Mark your calendars for the 52nd Annual Meeting on Saturday, October 12, 2024, at the Downtown Marriott Hotel in Anchorage, AK. Our theme for this year, We Persist, celebrates the culmination of our efforts—not just the milestones we’ve reached in recent years, but also the strategic foundation we are setting for the future. You can RSVP to the annual meeting here.

Proxy season is upon us. Proxy packets with Aleut’s annual reports are arriving in homes, but don’t forget – you can always access the annual report online at www.aleutvote.com. Check your email inbox or click through to our website here for instructions on how to access.

The audit was a time of evaluation and reflection: Aleut has accomplished a lot over the last few years. We achieved our highest revenue earnings in our Corporation’s history and paid our highest combined dividend in over 10 years. These notable achievements, as well as the financial state of the Corporation, are detailed in the annual report. Now as we continue to chart our course forward, we need your help in shaping the future for next generation of Unangax̂.

On this year’s ballot, we are asking shareholders to vote on establishing an ANCSA Settlement Trust and removing the debt ceiling. These measures are essential for the development and progress of Aleut. Your Board and Aleut leadership unanimously support a YES vote on both ballot measures. You can find more details about both ballot measures and their impact in the Proxy Statement and on our website here.

Because your participation in voting this year is vital to our Corporation’s success, we have doubled the number of proxy prizes this year. With over 60 proxy prizes, we are providing more chances to win than ever before!

Vote Now. Vote Yes.

We are also excited to announce our new shareholder portal. This upgrade aims to provide a more robust and user-friendly experience, improving accessibility and efficiency for all shareholder interactions. Stay tuned for more details on how these improvements will benefit you.

I want to express my sincere gratitude for your participation and thoughtful questions during our in-region community meetings this summer and education sessions. Your involvement is invaluable as we continue to navigate our path forward.

I look forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming Annual Meeting and celebrating our collective achievements.

Qaĝaasakung,

Skoey Aachax̂ Vergen
Aleut President & CEO
