Subject: Important Message to Employee Shareholders - VOTE YOUR RYDER SHARES!
Ryder Colleague:
By now, you should have received proxy materials for our 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Friday, May 6. At this meeting, our shareholders - including many of you - will vote on important company business.
Ryder’s Board of Directors recommends you vote FOR all proposals in the proxy. Not only is every vote important, it also demonstrates your confidence in our Company and our Board. Thank you for your continued support.
Note about accessing proxy materials: By now, you should have received a Notice by e-mail or by mail with instructions explaining how to access the proxy materials electronically and vote your shares. Many employee shareholders were sent an e-mail Notice on March 23, 2016 to your Ryder e-mail account or personal e-mail account. If you elected to receive your account materials or proxy materials by mail, then you should have received a Notice by mail. Depending on how/where you own your shares, your Notice would have come from one or more of the following entities:
| |
• | NATIONAL FINANCIAL SERVICES LLC (FIDELITY) or |
If you own shares through multiple accounts, you should receive a separate Notice with a separate control number to vote your shares in each account. Although Ryder’s e-mail system is set up to ensure that the e-mail Notice is delivered to your inbox and not your junk folder, if the Notice was sent to your personal e-mail account, please make sure to check your junk folder if you do not find it in your inbox. You will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials unless you specifically request one.
Thank you for your support.
Regards,
Robert Sanchez
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
