What vote will be required to approve each proposal?
Proposal 1 provides that the nine nominees with the most votes will be elected as directors of the
Company.
Proposals 2 and 3 require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shareholders present in
person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting.
Who will count the votes?
Representatives from Zion’s First National Bank, the Company’s transfer agent, or other
individuals designated by the Board, will count the votes and serve as inspectors of election. The
inspectors of election will be present at the Meeting.
Who will pay the cost of this proxy solicitation?
The Company will pay the costs of soliciting proxies. Upon request, the Company will reimburse
brokers, dealers, banks and trustees, or their nominees, for reasonable expenses incurred by them in
forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of shares of the Common Stock.
Is this Proxy Statement the only way proxies are being solicited for use at the Meeting?
Yes. The Company has not employed any other methods of solicitation.
How are proxy materials being delivered?
The Company is pleased to take advantage of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules that
allow companies to furnish their proxy materials over the Internet. As a result, the Company is mailing
to most of its shareholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the ‘‘Notice’’) instead
of a paper copy of this proxy statement and the Company’s 2008 Annual Report to Shareholders. The
Notice contains instructions on how to access those documents over the Internet. The Notice also
contains instructions on how to request a paper copy of the Company’s proxy materials, including the
accompanying Proxy Statement, 2008 Annual Report to Shareholders and a form of proxy card or
voting instruction card. All shareholders who do not receive a Notice will receive a paper copy of the
proxy materials by mail. The Company believes this new process will allow it to provide its shareholders
with the information they need in a more efficient manner, while reducing the environmental impact
and lowering the costs of printing and distributing these proxy materials.
