CALABASAS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 18, 2020 / Unico American Corporation (NASDAQ:UNAM) ("Unico," or the "Company"), announced today that, due to restrictions to the COVID-19 situation and in an effort to protect the health and safety of its stockholders, directors and employees, the Company's 2020 Annual Stockholders Meeting will be held by means of remote communication only. The Annual Meeting will continue to be held on Thursday, May 28, 2020 at 2:00 p.m., Pacific Time, as previously announced, but will now be held in a virtual meeting format, rather than in person.
