Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. recently announced a change in the location of its 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Stockholders will not be able to physically attend the annual meeting.
The annual meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 6, at 1:00 p.m. EST, as previously scheduled. Holders of Allison Transmission common stock at the close of business on March 9, 2020, the record date, are entitled to participate in the annual meeting. In order to attend the annual meeting, stockholders will be required to register in advance at http://viewproxy.com/allisontransmission/2020/. Beneficial owners whose shares are held through a bank, broker or other nominee must provide a copy of a legal proxy that they have obtained from their bank, broker or other nominee when they register.
