JASPER, Indiana, May 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- German American Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: GABC) announced today that, in light of lingering health and safety concerns relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will offer shareholders the ability to participate in its 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders via webcast. While the Company will hold the Annual Meeting as presented in the Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement first mailed to shareholders on or about April 5, 2021, it is encouraging shareholders that have health and safety concerns to participate in the meeting via the webcast or by teleconference, rather than attending the meeting in person.

Time: 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time
