OTHER EVENTS

 

Captaris’ 2004 annual meeting of shareholders will be held on May 4, 2004. Shareholders that intend to present a proposal at Captaris’ 2004 annual meeting must give notice of the proposal to Captaris no later than December 20, 2003 to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the 2004 Annual Meeting. Shareholders that intend to present a proposal at the annual meeting that will not be included in the proxy statement and form of proxy must give notice of the proposal to Captaris no fewer than 60 nor more than 90 days prior to the date of the 2004 annual meeting. Receipt by Captaris of any such proposal from a qualified shareholder in a timely manner will not guarantee its inclusion in Captaris’ proxy materials or its presentation at the 2004 annual meeting, as such proposals are subject to certain requirements and restrictions set forth in the proxy rules and Captaris’ bylaws. For proposals that are not timely filed, the proxies designated by Captaris for the 2004 annual meeting will have discretionary authority to vote with respect to any such proposals.
