NOTICE OF POSTPONEMENT OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
FROM MAY 12, 1999 TO SEPTEMBER 8, 1999
Notice is hereby given to all shareholders of record as of March
26, 1999, that the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Eskimo Pie Corporation (the
"Company") originally scheduled to be held on May 12, 1999, at 10:00 a.m., in
Richmond, Virginia, has been postponed and rescheduled to be held on Wednesday,
September 8, 1999, at a time and place to be determined. The Company will notify
shareholders when the Board of Directors establishes a new record date for the
determination of shareholders having the right to notice of, and to vote at, the
September 8, 1999 meeting and any adjournment thereof.
A copy of the Company's April 16, 1999 first quarter earnings
release is attached to this Notice which provides additional explanation for the
postponement.
You may have already received the Company's Notice of Annual
Meeting and Proxy Statement dated March 31, 1999 and the proxy card included
with those materials. You may disregard the Proxy Statement and proxy card
furnished to you for the May 12, 1999 meeting and any of those proxy cards which
were signed and returned to the Company are invalid. The Company will be mailing
revised proxy materials to you relating to the business to be conducted at the
September 8, 1999 meeting later in the summer. The Company is not requesting
your proxy in connection with the rescheduled meeting at this time.
As the April 16, 1999 release indicates, the Company has begun to
implement its recently announced growth and restructuring plan. We are
continuing to devote our best efforts toward maximizing long term shareholder
value and look forward to reporting our progress to you in September.
