Dear «Name»,
Recently you received an annual
report, proxy statement and proxy card regarding your shareholdings in LaCrosse Footwear,
Inc. and the 2004 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 4, 2004. Unfortunately,
we (Transfer Online) inadvertently sent you an incomplete version of the proxy card, which
did not include the opportunity to vote on all matters that will be considered at the
Annual Meeting as set forth in the proxy statement. LaCrosse Footwear, Inc. has requested
that you have the opportunity to vote on all the proposals. Please see below for the
options available to you:
IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY
VOTED FOR THE 2004 ANNUAL MEETING:
| |
Please
revote on all matters by completing and executing the enclosed proxy card and
mailing it to Transfer Online, Inc. by using the enclosed business reply envelope. |
| |
If
you have previously submitted a proxy and you do not complete, execute and mail the
enclosed proxy card, then your previously submitted proxy will be voted in
accordance with the instructions contained therein. The shares represented by your
previously submitted proxy will not be voted with respect to the proposed
amendments to the LaCrosse Footwear, Inc. 2001 Non-Employee Director Stock Option
Plan (Proposal No. 2) and, therefore, will have no impact on the vote on that proposal. |
| |
If
you complete, execute and mail the enclosed proxy card, then it will revoke your
previously submitted proxy on all matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting
and it will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained therein. |
| |
Shares
represented by executed but unmarked proxies will be voted “FOR” the three
persons nominated for election as directors, “FOR” the proposed
amendments to the LaCrosse Footwear, Inc. 2001 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan and
on such other business or matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting
in accordance with the best judgment of the persons named as proxies therein. |
IF YOU HAVE NOT YET
VOTED:
| |
Enclosed
is the updated proxy card. You may use this to vote and return to Transfer Online, Inc.
by using the enclosed business reply envelope. |
We apologize for any
inconvenience this may cause you.
Thank you,
Tracy Dennison
