REMINDER: Members are encouraged to vote their OGE shares
Clarification on Voting Recommendation on Proposal #5
A Special Notice was posted April 22 to announce that the Annual Meeting of Shareowners of OGE Energy Corp. will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday, May 22, at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City for the following purposes:
|
(1) |
To elect three members of the Board of Directors |
|
(2) |
To ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our principal independent accountants |
|
(3) |
To approve the OGE Energy Corp. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan |
|
(4) |
To approve the OGE Energy Corp. 2008 Annual Incentive Compensation Plan |
|
(5) |
To consider a shareowner proposal to eliminate the classification of the terms of the directors |
Some company members have reported confusion about the voting recommendations. The OGE Energy Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR PROPOSALS No. 1, 2, 3, and 4. However, the recommendation on Proposal No. 5 is different.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “AGAINST” PROPOSAL No. 5. The Board of Directors does not believe that this proposal is in the best interest of OGE Energy shareowners. A shareowner who wishes to vote as the Board recommends on all items would vote AGAINST Proposal No. 5.
Most company members are shareowners through benefit plans like the Retirement Savings Plan (401k) administered by Fidelity Investments and, as shareowners, are entitled to vote. The company emphasizes the importance of everyone voting their shares, especially this year, because of the numerous items to be considered. Active members who own OGE shares through the Retirement Savings Plan should have received a Proxy card with instructions for voting by one of three methods:

Members requiring more information should notify Don Kilby via e-mail at kilbydl@oge.com. Results of the shareowner proxy voting will be announced during the Annual Meeting on May 22.
