| Dear Fellow Stockholders: | June 26, 2024 |
|---|
We look forward to the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“2024 Annual Meeting”) of U-Haul Holding Company (the “Company”) and are pleased to once again offer our meeting materials over the internet and to webcast this annual meeting. We believe that using the internet to distribute our materials and to host the meeting will allow more stockholders to participate in the meeting. We also expect that this approach will lower costs associated with the meeting and is consistent with our environmental sustainability initiatives.
During the meeting, three (3) proposals will be presented for consideration and approval:
| Proposal 1: | The election of the following directors ("Directors"), each to hold office and serve as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders: Edward J. Shoen, James E. Acridge, John P. Brogan, James J. Grogan, Richard J. Herrera, Karl A. Schmidt, Roberta R. Shank and Samuel J. Shoen. |
|---|---|
| Proposal 2: | The ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. |
| Proposal 3: | A proposal received from Company stockholder proponents to ratify and affirm the decisions and actions taken by the Board and executive officers of the Company with respect to U-Haul Holding Company, its subsidiaries, and its various constituencies, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. |
I encourage you to read the proxy statement for more information on each of these proposals, and to vote on each proposal.
Holders of the Company's voting common stock at the close of business on the record date of June 18, 2024 are entitled to vote at either the Annual Meeting or by proxy. In addition, holders of voting common stock may also vote on any other business as may properly come before the 2024 Annual Meeting or any continuation, postponement or adjournment thereof. On such other business, to the maximum extent allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s proxy rules, New York Stock Exchange rules and any other applicable law, any proxy holders will vote as they determine in their discretion.
I encourage stockholders to participate in the 2024 Annual Meeting via the webcast in order to reduce the carbon footprint resulting from the meeting. I also encourage holders of voting common stock to vote, whether or not you attend or participate in the meeting. The Board has fixed the close of business on June 18, 2024, as the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting or any continuation, adjournment or postponement thereof. If you vote over the internet or by telephone, your vote must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on August 14, 2024, for shares held directly, and by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on August 12, 2024, for shares held in a Plan to be counted. Mail-in ballots should be mailed by August 1, 2024.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Edward J. Shoen
