Stockholders and other interested parties may leave messages for Pioneer’s Board, including the Lead Director of the Board or the non-management or independent members of the Board as a group, through the following means:
All such communications will be received and processed by the Pioneer Corporate Secretary’s Office. Depending upon the subject matter, the Corporate Secretary’s Office will:
- Forward the communication to the Lead Director or other member(s) of the Board, as appropriate
- Handle the inquiry where director input is not necessary, such as a request for information about Pioneer, employment, charitable giving, vendor relations or other topics unrelated to the Board's duties
- Not forward the communication if it clearly relates to an unrequested commercial solicitation or an irrelevant or inappropriate topic
- Provide regular reports of all material communications to the Board or its designated committee(s)
