THE PLAN
No cost to you
With this Plan, there are no transaction charges or brokerage commissions associated with the purchase of Common Shares, thereby permitting the entire amount of your dividend to be invested.
Systematic investment
Purchase of Common Shares through a systematic long-term investment plan results in dollar cost averaging. That's what you have when Common Shares are bought at regular intervals as dividends are paid. Your money is promptly invested in Common Shares.
Fractional shares
Even if your dividend isn't big enough to buy a whole Common Share, you are creditied with a fractional share computed to three decimal places. Fractional Common Shares held by Registrar and Transfer Company start earning dividends with the next dividend payment, just the way full Common Shares do.
Record keeping
Common Shares purchased for you are held in safekeeping by Registrar and Transfer Company and you will receive a statement of all transactions relating to your Plan Account.
No permanent commitment
You can terminate your participation in the Plan at any time prior to the next dividend record date. However, Registrar and Transfer Company needs 48 hours notice before a dividend record date.
ENROLLMENT
You may join the Plan at any time by completing and returning the Authorization Card to Registrar and Transfer Company in the envelope provided.
Prior to doing so, however, please carefully read the Terms of Dividend Reinvestment Plan Agreement as set forth in this brochure.
If the Authorization Card is received on or before the record date for a dividend payment, reinvestment of dividends will begin with that dividend. Record dates for payment of dividends normally preceded dividend payment dates by approximately two weeks. Dividend payment dates are usually the last Friday of February, May, August and November. If the Authorization Card is received after the record date, reinvestment of dividends will begin with the next succeeding dividend.
If you elect to have the dividends on your Common Shares reinvested under the Plan, such dividends will be reinvested with respect to all of the Common Shares registered in your name.
In order to participate, Hooper Holmes, Inc. Common Shares must be held in your own name.
PURCHASE OF COMMON SHARES
Dividends, including dividends paid on any full or fractional shares of Common Shares acquired under the Plan, generally will be applied to the purchase of Common Shares on the open market within a 30 day period after the dividend payment date. The timing of such purchases will be at the sole discrection of Registrar and Transfer Company. Registrar and Transfer Company may delay any or all purchases beyond the 30 day period if necessary under Federal Securities laws. Registrar and Transfer Company will not pay interest on participant's funds.
The price at which the Common Shares shall be deemed to have been acquired will be the average price of all shares of Common Shares purchased.
Brokerage commissions and service charges for the purchases will be paid for by HHI.
RISK OF MARKET FLUCTUATION
Your investment in Common Shares held in the Plan is no different than your investment in directly held Common Shares in this regard. You bear the risk of loss and the benefits of gain from market price changes for all of your Common Shares. Neither HHI nor Registrar and Transfer Company can guarantee that Comon Shares purchased under the Plan will, at any particular time, be worth more or less than the purchase price.
