Four Seasons Hotels Inc. announces revised date for its annual
meeting of shareholders TORONTO, May 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Four Seasons Hotels Inc. (TSX Symbol "FSH.SV"; NYSE Symbol "FS")
announced that its annual meeting of shareholders which was to be
held on May 18, 2005, will be adjourned to Wednesday, May 25, 2005
at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time). Four Seasons was informed by
its registrar and transfer agent earlier this week that, although
its annual meeting materials had been distributed by the transfer
agent on March 31, 2005, proxy and mailing list cards were not
received by the agent for certain US intermediaries due to
difficulties in the transfer agent's mailing house. The registrar
and transfer agent has confirmed that all meeting materials have
now been forwarded to those US intermediaries by their agent. The
meeting materials have been posted on the Company's website at
http://www.fourseasons.com/ and have been available as part of the
Company's regulatory filings on http://www.sedar.com/ since the end
of March. Four Seasons believes it is important that all
shareholders receive meeting materials on a timely basis to permit
shareholders to exercise their right to vote in an informed manner,
even where, as is the case this year, there is no special business
to be considered at the meeting. Accordingly, Four Seasons will
convene its annual meeting of shareholders on May 18, 2005 solely
to adjourn the meeting to Wednesday, May 25, 2005 at 10:00 a.m.
(Eastern Daylight Time). The Company will mail a notice of
adjournment to those persons to whom the original notice of meeting
was sent. Dedicated to continuous innovation and the highest
