Just a thought, could the company be delaying the Proxy and guidance about the annual meeting in an attempt to know what the Federal Govt. intends to do after the initial 14 days of limiting physical contact. Clearly, long term guidance hasn't been established.

There is no doubt in my mind that a virtual meeting could be done, and then regardless of the guidelines at the time, what they're doing should work, but it's equally clear that some shareholders would rather attend a meeting where they can speak personally with key people from the company. With the proper venue, all in attendance could be 6 feet or more apart and a live meeting conducted, but even that may not be legal by the time of the meeting.

Of course what's to be voted at the meeting probably won't change regardless of how the meeting is to be conducted, but another possibility is the Govt. essentially saying such meeting should be delayed, no matter how they're to be conducted. The idea of maximizing separation may make even the act of voting a proxy on line one which requires more people to work, and that's not what the Govt. wants. As to clinicians gathering trial data, that too might be something the Govt. would rather wait on if it can't be done from home.

I would not be surprised to see something shortly, but it's something that might be cancelled or modified based on Govt. actions.
