Item 8.01 Other Events
As previously announced, Leucadia National Corporation (the “Company”) will hold its 2013 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on July 25, 2013. The Company’s shareholders of record at the close of business on June 5, 2013 will be entitled to notice of the Annual Meeting and to vote upon matters to be considered at the meeting.
Because the date of Annual Meeting will be more than 30 days after the anniversary of the 2012 Annual Meeting, the Company has set a new deadline for its receipt of shareholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In order for a shareholder to submit any such proposal for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, the proposal must be received by the Secretary of the Company at the address set forth below by the close of business on April 26, 2013. Any such proposal(s) must comply with the requirements of the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to shareholders’ proposals.
Timely notice of other shareholder proposals or nominations for election to the board of directors (other than for inclusion in our proxy statement) must be received by the Secretary of the Company at the address set forth below by the close of business on April 26, 2013. Any such notice is required to contain specified information and the shareholder must comply with other requirements set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws.
The address of the Company’s Corporate Secretary is:
Leucadia National Corporation
315 Park Avenue South
