On July 7, 2000, NMT Medical, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release
announcing that the 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the
"Meeting") will be held on Friday, August 18, 2000, commencing at 9:00 a.m.,
local time, at the Company's offices at 27 Wormwood Street, Boston,
Massachusetts 02210. Stockholders of record at the close of business on June
23, 2000 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment
thereof.
Pursuant to Rule 14a-5(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, because the Meeting date has been delayed by more than 30 calendar days
from the date of the Company's 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was
held on June 3, 1999, the Company is informing its stockholders of the Meeting
date in addition to the following new deadlines for submitting stockholder
proposals for the Meeting:
. Stockholder proposals intended to be presented at the Meeting and considered
for inclusion in the proxy statement for the Meeting must be received by the
Company at its principal offices, 27 Wormwood Street, Boston, Massachusetts
02210 by July 11, 2000.
. A stockholder of the Company who wishes to present a proposal before the
Meeting but does not wish the proposal to be considered for inclusion in the
Company's proxy statement and proxy card, must give written notice to the
Secretary of the Company at the address noted above by July 11, 2000. If a
stockholder fails to provide timely notice of such a proposal, the proxies
designated by the Board of Directors of the Company will have discretionary
authority to vote on the proposal.
The Company expects to mail its Annual Report to Stockholders for the year
ended December 31, 1999, along with the Notice and Proxy Statement of the 2000
Annual Meeting on or about July 14, 2000. The full text of the Company's press
release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is
incorporated herein by reference.
