Eversource Energy ES today announced that the location of its Annual Meeting has been changed for 2020 to a virtual-only format. This action was taken in response to the public health and safety concerns related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the recommendations made and limitations imposed by governmental authorities.

As previously announced, the Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 6, 2020 at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time. Online access to the meeting will begin at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Shareholders will not be able to attend the meeting in person.

Attending the Virtual Meeting as a Shareholder of Record

Shareholders of record as of March 11, 2020 (i.e., those who held shares in their own names as reflected in the records of our transfer agent, Computershare) may attend the Annual Meeting by accessing http://www.meetingcenter.io/243957122 and entering the 15-digit control number on the Proxy Card or Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials they previously received, and the Annual Meeting password ES2020.

Registering to Attend the Annual Meeting as a Beneficial Owner

Beneficial owners of record as of March 11, 2020 (those who held shares in an account at a bank, broker or other nominee) will need to obtain a Legal Proxy from their bank, broker or other nominee. Once beneficial owners have received a Legal Proxy from their bank, broker or other nominee, they should email that Legal Proxy to our transfer agent, Computershare, at legalproxy@computershare.com and should label it "Legal Proxy" in the subject line. Those beneficial owners should include their names and an image of their Legal Proxy in the email. Requests for registration must be received by Computershare no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on May 1, 2020. Beneficial owners will then receive a confirmation of their registration, with a control number, by email from Computershare.
