(NASDAQ: DLHC) ("DLH" or the "Company"), a leading provider of innovative healthcare services and solutions to federal agencies, today announced the availability of supplemental information related to its upcoming annual meeting of shareholders, scheduled for February 8, 2018.

On February 1, 2018, the Company filed supplemental proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the impact of The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on the Company's proposal to amend its 2016 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, as set forth in Proposal 3 of the Company's definitive proxy statement dated December 29, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Among other things, The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act amended the Internal Revenue Code to provide that compensation payable to covered employees in excess of $1 million is no longer deductible. The supplemental proxy information amends Proposal 3 of the Company's proxy statement to provide that the Company would not be able take such deductions for performance-based compensation under the new tax law and to clarify that due to the change in tax law, Proposal 3 only seeks shareholder approval to increase the number of shares reserved under the 2016 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan.
