Letter from the Board Chair

Joe Nelson Dear Shareholders, One of the most important responsibilities of being a Sealaska shareholder is to select qualified shareholders to serve, on your behalf, on the Sealaska board. Sealaska is governed by a 13-member board of directors, each of whom is elected to a three-year term. Four director seats are open this year. We are more powerful when you vote. Help us reach our voter turnout goal of 65 percent by encouraging your family and friends to vote. Voting online at MySealaska.com is the most convenient option. The voting incentive was recently increased to $50. Vote Online. You can vote online through MySealaska.com. Online voting is safe, secure and much more cost-effective overall. You must vote online by 5 p.m. Alaska Daylight Time on June 26, 2020. Vote by Paper Proxy. You can vote by signing and submitting the blue paper proxy in the mail or by fax. You can also deliver it in person at Sealaska headquarters or with the Inspectors of Election, although during these

unique times, we discourage the in-person delivery option. The Inspectors of Election must receive your paper proxy by 5 p.m. AKDT on Friday, June 26, 2020. No Voting in Person at the Annual Meeting. Generally, shareholders can also vote in person at the annual meeting, but this year we will be holding the annual meeting virtually so the online and paper proxy options are the only viable options to vote. For that reason, we have extended the usual online and paper proxy deadlines by one day to June 26, 2020, at 5 p.m. AKDT. I want to thank all the candidates for their time, efforts and willingness to serve the shareholders of the company. It is not an easy task to undertake. Sealaska is stronger when we all stand to be counted.
