49th Annual Shareholder Meeting

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 10/02/2023 UPDATE ELECTION OF NINE NEW YAK-TAT KWAAN, INCORPORATED DIRECTORS

Amanda Bremner and Jay Stevens have asked the superior court of Alaska, Third Judicial District at Anchorage, to confirm the results of the Yak-Tat Kwaan Incorporated Annual meeting of shareholders held on September 23, 2023. Certain law firms retained by the hold-over directors continue to recognize the holdover directors as the Corporation's governing body. None of those law firms sent a representative to Yakutat for the shareholder meeting.

Yak-Tat Kwaan Incorporated was ordered by the superior court to hold its Annual Shareholders Meeting on September 23, 2023, as a result of court action by plaintiff shareholders Amanda Bremner and Jay Stevens. On the date of the meeting, a quorum was established, and nine new directors were elected. A tenth candidate, Cameron James, graciously withdrew his candidacy to expedite the process of moving forward toward the future. Former Chair Verna Henniger was present for the voice vote confirming the election.

The newly elected directors are:

Amanda Bremner

JP Buller

Meda DeWitt

Rose Gildersleeve

Keith Howard

Marry Knutsen

Jennethan Kaufman

Violet Sensmeier

Jay Stevens

Pursuant to the Bylaws of Yak-Tat Kwaan Incorporated, the elected directors met to organize after the shareholder meeting. A resolution confirming the appointment of officers is attached. We eagerly await the hold-over directors and their law firms to join us in building a future for Yak-Tat Kwaan Incorporated, the shareholders, and the community of Yakutat.

Gunalchéesh!
