NOTICE OF CHANGE OF LOCATION OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON JUNE 26, 2020

June 3, 2020

To Shareholders of American Shared Hospital Services:

        Due to the continued public health impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and the issuance by authorities of orders limiting the right of persons to gather outside of their homes within the State of California, and to mitigate risks to the health and safety of our communities, shareholders, and other stakeholders, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the location of the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of American Shared Hospital Services (the “Company”) has been changed. As previously announced, the Annual Meeting will be held on Friday, June 26, 2020 at 9:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time. In light of the aforementioned public health concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only.

        While you will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting physically, the Annual Meeting has been designed to provide shareholders with the same opportunities to participate in the virtual meeting as they would have had at an in-person meeting.

        The live audio webcast of the Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 9:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time. Online access to the audio webcast will open one hour prior to the start of the Annual Meeting to allow time for you to log-in and test your device’s audio system. We encourage you to access the meeting in advance of the designated start time.

As described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting previously distributed, if you were a holder of record of our common stock at the close of business on April 28, 2020, the record date for the Annual Meeting, or hold a “legal proxy” for the meeting provided by our bank, broker or other nominee, you are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. Using your 11-digit control number, you may vote during the Annual Meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website during the meeting.
