In recognition of the absence of an election for nearly three years, a group of shareholders amounting to more than 6,000 shares have undertaken the legal process to call this meeting. On August 28, 2023, the Superior Court for the State of Alaska Third Judicial District at Anchorage granted the demand that Yak-Tat Kwaan, Incorporated hold its annual shareholder meeting on September 23, 2023.

At this shareholder meeting, shareholders will vote to fill the nine seats on the board of directors. The three nominees with the most votes will be elected to a term of 3 years, and the three nominees with the fourth, fifth, and sixth highest number of votes will be elected to a term of two years, and the three nominees with the seventh, eighth, and ninth highest number of votes will be elected to a term of one year.
