LAS VEGAS, March 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE: BYD) announced that, due to public meeting restrictions and continued public health concerns related to the spread of COVID-19, the Company will change the format of its previously announced Annual Meeting of Stockholders, scheduled for April 9, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time, from an in-person meeting to an online only meeting.

More information about the online Annual Meeting is provided below.

Access to the Audio Webcast of the Annual Meeting. The live audio webcast of the Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 11:00 a.m. PT. Online access to the audio webcast will open 30 minutes prior to the start of the Annual Meeting to allow time for stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 28, 2020, the record date for the Annual Meeting, to log-in and test their equipment.

The Company is providing the live audio webcast access through two online platforms. All of the Company's stockholders are encouraged to carefully review and confirm the log-in information that follows to ensure they are accessing the appropriate designated platform. Also, the Company encourages stockholders to access the meeting in advance of the Annual Meeting's start time.

Beginning 30 minutes prior to, and during the Annual Meeting, the Company will have support available to assist stockholders with any technical difficulties they may have accessing or hearing the virtual meeting.
