InnerWorkings Announces Date of 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

InnerWorkings, Inc. (NASDAQ: INWK), the leading global marketing execution firm, announced today that the Company has rescheduled the date for its 2018 annual meeting of stockholders (the "Annual Meeting”).

The Annual Meeting will be held on Thursday, September 6, 2018. The Company had originally scheduled the Annual Meeting to occur on May 31, 2018. As previously disclosed, the Annual Meeting was postponed because the Company is in the process of restating its historical financial statements (the "Restatement”) and requires additional time to complete that process.

The Company intends to file an amendment to its definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting with the Securities and Exchange Commission to reflect, among other things, the rescheduled meeting date for the Annual Meeting and the new record date for the Annual Meeting. The Company will mail a new notice of Annual Meeting and proxy card to all stockholders entitled to vote as of the record date for the Annual Meeting.

Completion of the Restatement and the filing of an amendment to the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K are now expected to occur during the month of July 2018, at which time the Company will notify stockholders of the new date and time of its first quarter 2018 earnings release and conference call. Based on the Company’s current assessment of Restatement impacts, which remain subject to additional analysis, the Company now estimates the aggregate impact of the corrections on income before income taxes as follows:

• For the year ended December 31, 2017, a decrease in income before income taxes of $4.5 - $5.5 million;
• For the year ended December 31, 2016, a decrease in income before income taxes of $1.0 - $1.5 million; and
• For the year ended December 31, 2015, no material impact on income before income taxes.
