Dear Collegue:
I would like to ask you to send your Proxy for the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders of Triple-S Management Corporation to be held on April 25. During
this meeting, we will consider and vote on very important matters for the
Corporation. These are:
- Resolution Number 1, which is directly related with the wish
expressed by several of our Shareholders, to allow a
Shareholder to transfer his or her shares to another
physician or dentist, provided no payment is involved and
that the 21 share limit requirement is complied with.
- Resolution Number 2, which is very important, will allow to
amend Triple-S Management's By-laws to adopt good corporate
governance principles that are required and recommended. This
would provide the flexibility to incorporate changes that
might occur in the area of corporate governance.
- Resolution Number 3, presented by Leslie H. Lopez Velez, DDS,
would amend the Articles of Incorporation to reduce from 3/4
to 2/3 the affirmative vote required to change the Six
Article of the Articles of Incorporation and Article 4-1 of
the By-laws.
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote in favor of the above
Resolutions.
- Resolution Number 4, presented by Guillermo J. Fernandez
Marti, MD, requests that Triple-C takes the necessary steps
to obtain the National Committee of Quality Assurance's
(NCQA) accreditation within a time frame of no more than six
(6) months. The Board of Directors is asking for a vote
against this resolution. The reasons to request a vote
against are explained in detail in the Proxy Statement.
I hope to see you in the Shareholders meeting. If for any reason, you can not
attend to the meeting, I would appreciate that you sign, date, and send the
Proxy to the Board of Directors. If you would like more information please
contact Rosa Gonzalez, who heads the Office of Shareholder Services and
Relations at telephone (787) 277-6621.
Cordially,
/s/ Arturo Cordova Lopez, MD
