What vote will be required to approve each proposal?
Proposal 1 provides that the ten director-nominees who receive a majority of the votes cast with respect to his or
her election will be elected as directors of the Company. This means that the number of shares voted “for” the election of
a director must exceed the number of shares voted “against” the election of that director.
Proposals 2 and 3 will be approved if the number of votes cast, in person or by proxy, in favor of a particular
proposal exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the proposal. Proposal 2 is an advisory vote only, and has no
binding effect on the Board or the Company.
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 does not intend to employ 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 2015 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 this Proxy Statement, the 2015 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 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.
