LOS ANGELES, April 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercury General Corporation (NYSE: MCY) today announced a change in location for its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for Wednesday, May 13, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time from The Wilshire Country Club, 301 North Rossmore Avenue, Los Angeles, California, to its headquarters at 4484 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California.

As a result, to ensure that your vote is counted at the Annual Meeting, the Company strongly urges shareholders to submit their proxies or votes in advance of the Annual Meeting using one of the available methods described in the Proxy Statement and form of proxy card.

A replay of the teleconference will be available beginning at 1:30 P.M. Pacific Time and running through May 20, 2020.
