ZEELAND, Mich., May 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gentex Corporation (NASDAQ: GNTX), the Zeeland, Michigan-based supplier of digital vision, connected car, dimmable glass, and fire protection technologies, announced today that due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and in the interest of the health and well-being of its shareholders, team members, and communities, its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders now will be held in a virtual-only meeting format.

As a result, shareholders will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person. The previously announced date and time of the Annual Meeting (Thursday, May 21, 2020, at 4:30 p.m. E.T.) has not changed.
