IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Michaels Companies, Inc.

The annual meeting will be held on June 10, 2020 at 8 a.m. local time, as previously announced, but stockholders will not be able to attend in person. The virtual meeting will provide stockholders with the ability to participate, vote their shares, and ask questions.
As described in the proxy materials previously made available to stockholders, stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 15, 2020, the record date for the annual meeting, are entitled to attend and vote at the meeting. To gain access to the meeting, stockholders must go to the meeting website at www.meetingcenter.io/294466693 and enter the control number provided in the grey ribbon on their notice of internet availability of proxy materials or proxy card. The meeting password is “MIK2020”. The virtual meeting website will contain participation instructions. Stockholders who held shares as of the record date through a bank, broker or other nominee must register in advance to attend the annual meeting.
