CALABASAS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 18, 2020 / Unico American Corporation (NASDAQ:UNAM) ('Unico,' or the 'Company'), announced today that, due to restrictions to the COVID-19 situation and in an effort to protect the health and safety of its stockholders, directors and employees, the Company's 2020 Annual Stockholders Meeting will be held by means of remote communication only. The Annual Meeting will continue to be held on Thursday, May 28, 2020 at 2:00 p.m., Pacific Time, as previously announced, but will now be held in a virtual meeting format, rather than in person.

Access to the website will begin at 1:45 p.m. Pacific Time on May 28, 2020. The Company encourages the stockholders to access the meeting prior to the meeting start time.

To be admitted to the Annual Meeting, the Company's stockholders of record on April 22, 2020 must obtain a 'control ID.'

Stockholders who have already voted do not need to vote again unless they wish to change their vote.
