Cardtronics Issues Shareholder Vote and Meeting Reminder


HOUSTON, May 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cardtronics plc (Nasdaq: CATM) (“Cardtronics” or the “Company”) reminds shareholders that on Friday, May 7, 2021, the Company will, in accordance with U.K. law, hold two separate meetings related to the proposed acquisition of the Company by NCR Corporation (NYSE:NCR) (“NCR”). First, the Court Meeting at which shareholders will vote to approve the scheme of arrangement, followed by the General Meeting at which shareholders will vote to (i) give effect to the scheme of arrangement; and (ii) approve, on an advisory basis, executive compensation which may be paid in connection with the transaction.

Shareholders of Record should have received two proxy cards — one proxy card labeled “Court Meeting Proxy Card” for use to approve the scheme of arrangement at the Court Meeting and one proxy card labeled “General Meeting Proxy Card” for use to give effect to the scheme of arrangement and vote in connection with the executive compensation matters at the General Meeting.

In order to effect the scheme under U.K. law, holders of at least 75% of shares voted must approve the scheme of arrangement proposal at each of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting. In order to ensure that all votes are counted, shareholders should ensure votes are cast by Thursday May 6, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. EDT.

The Cardtronics Board recommends that Cardtronics shareholders vote "FOR" the approval of all proposals to be considered at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting.
