Signature Bank Announces Internet Availability Of Annual Shareholders’ Meeting Proxy Materials For Fiscal Year 2012

Signature Bank (Nasdaq:SBNY), a New York-based full-service commercial bank, announced today that the Bank’s proxy materials for its 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders are now available via the Internet under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Notice and Access Rule.

Under the Notice and Access rule, companies may furnish proxy materials to shareholders via the Internet as an alternative to the traditional mail delivery of printed materials. Shareholders as of the February 26, 2013 record date for the Annual Meeting will be mailed a "Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials." This notice will provide the Internet web site address where the proxy materials can be viewed and shares can be voted. It will also include instructions for requesting a paper copy of the proxy materials via telephone, Internet web site or email. By implementing the Notice and Access Rule, Signature Bank was able to considerably reduce the number of printed copies of its annual report and proxy materials that it would produce, thereby lowering production and delivery costs as well as minimizing the impact on the environment from its Annual Meeting.

Signature Bank’s 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held on Wednesday, April 24, 2013 at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) at The Roosevelt Hotel, 45 East 45th Street, New York, NY 10017, [phone].
