Dear Fellow Stockholders,
YOUR VOTES ARE NEEDED!
We have received the affirmative vote of approximately 77 percent of the
combined voting power of the Sealed Air stock voting FOR repeal of the
supermajority provisions in the Company's Charter (as discussed in our proxy
statement). However, 80 percent of the outstanding voting power is required for
passage so MORE TOTAL VOTES ARE STILL NEEDED.
Over 98 percent of the voting by your fellow Stockholders who have already sent
in their proxies has been in favor of repeal of the supermajority provisions,
but because shares representing over 20 percent of the voting power have not yet
been voted on these issues, we have not reached our goal. We urge you to vote
now. Don't let the lack of participation influence the Company's future -- cast
your ballot!
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE!
Voting FOR repeal of these provisions gives Stockholders greater ability to take
action. If you were a Stockholder of Record on March 24, 1999 then YOU ARE
ENTITLED TO VOTE, even if you no longer own the shares. In fact, absent special
circumstances you would be the only one who could vote those shares. We
encourage you to vote as it is a boost for Stockholders' rights. Regardless of
the number of shares you hold, you may make the difference in this very close
vote.
If you are the recipient of this mailing your vote has not yet been tallied per
our most recent review, so we encourage you to SEND IN YOUR PROXY TODAY, or vote
by telephone or via the Internet. For your convenience, you can also telefax
your signed proxy to our corporate headquarters at 201- 703-4113.
TAKE ACTION!
We encourage you to vote FOR items 3, 4 and 5 on your proxy card or voting
instruction form. Recapture your rights as a Stockholder to influence the
Company's future! Voting should be completed as soon as possible. The Annual
Meeting reconvenes promptly at 10:00 a.m. on July 16, 1999.
On behalf of your board of directors, we thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
/s/ T.J. Dermot Dunphy
T.J. Dermot Dunphy
Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer
PLEASE VOTE YOUR PROXY TODAY
YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT!
