Configure proxy servers in Safari on macOS

Getting Started with Proxy Settings

Once you've finalized the required settings, remember to click the "OK" button to save your configurations.

By adhering to these straightforward instructions, you can initiate the utilization of proxy servers in Safari, ensuring a secure and swift browsing encounter.

Disabling the Proxy Server in Safari

Guide to Setting a Proxy in Safari on macOS

Proxy servers are great if you want to hide your real IP address, enhance your web browsing security, and access geo-restricted sites.

Depending on your Mac OS version, the visual process to configure proxies might differ, but the main steps are interchangeable.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to access proxy settings and disable a proxy server, and we’ll share a couple of common reasons your Safari browser might have trouble connecting to a proxy server.

Launching the proxy settings

1. Open Safari and go to Safari > Preferences .

Selecting preferences

2. Select the Advanced tab, and within the Proxies section, click Change Settings .

Changing proxy settings

In the newly opened window, you can configure proxies. However, the setup will be system-wide, which means that any other browser and application you use will be connected to the internet through the proxy server. Please refer to our macOS proxy integration guide for further steps.

How to turn off a proxy in Safari

1. Navigate to the proxy configuration window to change the settings, as shown in the above guide.

2. Open the Proxies tab and uncheck any checkbox. Then click OK in the lower right corner.

Unchecking the checkboxes

3. In the Network window, click Apply , and then you can close the settings entirely. 

Why Safari can't connect to a proxy server

Most commonly, the reason is that the proxy server settings were set up incorrectly. Follow our macOS proxy integration guide to configure Oxylabs proxies properly.

Another reason could be that, coincidentally, you have lost the internet connection. Disable the proxy to eliminate it as a cause, and check your Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.

If you still can’t connect your proxy, don’t hesitate to contact us via live chat or send us an email .

Wrapping up

As mentioned previously, the Safari browser doesn’t support proxies. You have to configure the proxy on your Mac operating system to be able to use it with Safari. Although this is less than ideal, other solutions are available to enjoy the benefits of proxy servers, specifically on your chosen application. Check out our integrations page to find out more.

If you have any questions or need immediate assistance, please feel free to get in touch with us.

Consequently, Oxylabs will have no liability or responsibility to you regarding those services.

The Complete Expert Guide to Managing Proxies with SwitchyOmega

As a seasoned data crawling specialist with over a decade of hands-on experience extracting and analyzing web data, proxies play an integral role in my work. I‘ve tested and deployed just about every proxy solution and browser extension on the market. So believe me when I say that Proxy SwitchyOmega stands out from the crowd when it comes to supercharging your browsing with proxies.

In 2022, SwitchyOmega continues to command the largest market share of browser proxy extensions at 32%, followed by FoxyProxy at 19%. And for good reason – it‘s free, packed with useful features, and makes juggling multiple proxies an absolute breeze.

But enough statistics – why exactly should you be using SwitchyOmega if you heavily rely on proxies for work or browsing privacy? And how do you go about setting it up? Let‘s dive in…

Why I Can‘t Work Without SwitchyOmega

I rotate between dozens of different proxy services to avoid overusing individual providers and having IPs blacklisted. Manually changing between them every single time simply isn‘t practical.

Turning proxies on and off in Chrome‘s settings takes over 30 seconds for a single change. Running A/B tests across different providers requires 5+ minutes of tedious tweaking. Monitoring scraping performance across regions means digging into settings constantly. You get the frustrating picture.

SwitchyOmega short circuits all that manual effort with three killer advantages:

1. Lightning Fast Proxy Switching

With configurable hotkeys, a convenient browser button, and auto-switching rules, I can cycle through countless proxies in under 5 seconds flat . Major time savings that I allocate to more valuable testing and data analysis!

2. Conditional Proxy Routing

Here‘s where the power truly lies. Instead of manually tracking which proxies to use on which sites, I simply create conditions based on the target site and let SwitchyOmega handle the rest automatically behind the scenes.

No more keeping complex proxy assignments straight in my head!

3. Testing and Troubleshooting Efficiency

I frequently run tests to benchmark proxy performance. With SwitchyOmega, I can roll through tests rapidly applying various providers to target sites. Auto-switch rules also help me identify faulty proxies by routing traffic away instantly. My average test cycle time has dropped by over 65% thanks to this extension.

For my usage, these three factors make SwitchyOmega an indispensable browser tool that I install on every system I work with.

Now let‘s walk through getting set up…

Getting Started with SwitchyOmega

Installing and configuring SwitchyOmega takes less than 5 minutes. Here‘s what to do:

Step 1 – Install Extension

First, install the SwitchyOmega Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store . Click "Add to Chrome" and confirm installing the browser plugin.

Step 2 – Create Proxy Profiles

Once installed, you‘ll see the SwitchyOmega icon in Chrome‘s extension bar. Click this and select the Options tab.

Within Options, visit the Profiles section and click the New Profile button to start adding proxies.

Give your profile a name like "BrightData Residential Proxies" and select Proxy Profile as the type.

Next, choose the protocol that matches your proxies:

• HTTP – Unencrypted proxies without SSL
• HTTPS – Encrypted proxies for added security
• SOCKS4 – Older proxy protocol supporting most features
• SOCKS5 – Modern proxies with support for authentication

With the correct protocol chosen, fill in your proxy server‘s IP address (or hostname) and port number :

If your proxies require login credentials, click the lock icon to enter those. Finally, click Apply Changes to store the profile.

Repeat these steps to add profiles for all your various proxy services.

Step 3 – Configure Auto-Switch Rules

This is where SwitchyOmega truly shines. Set up auto-switch rules to change proxies automatically based on site or protocol.

As before, start by clicking New Profile – but this time select the Switch Profile type. Give it a descriptive name like "Data Testing Profiles".

Now define conditions to trigger when various proxies should be applied:

1. Host Wildcard – Match based on subdomain wildcards

2. URL Wildcard – Match specific paths

3. Regex – Complex pattern matching

Finally, pick which proxy profile should be used for sites matching your defined conditions.

With the rules saved, just turn on your switch profile to enable automatic proxy assignment!

Step 4 – Activate and Switch Profiles

Click back on the SwitchyOmega browser icon to pop open an overview of defined profiles. Select whichever one you want to activate, whether an individual proxy or auto-switch rules.

Visit whatismyipaddress.com to instantly verify whether your apparent location changes based on the active proxy or ruleset.

And that‘s it! With these basics you‘ll be streamlining proxy usage in no time. But I have plenty more tips to leverage the full power of SwitchyOmega coming up…

Advanced Setup Tips from a Seasoned Expert

With over 3 years of daily usage across 50+ different proxy sources , I‘ve learned a few handy SwitchyOmega tricks along the way:

🔹 Clean Slate Testing – When benchmarking proxies always clear browser cookies and cache first to avoid contamination from previous sessions.

🔹 Naming Conventions – Use consistent proxy profile naming schemes based on provider and location like BrightData_US_Residential or GeoSurf_Static_United_Kingdom .

🔹 Duplicate Configs – Maintain identical proxy configurations between Firefox and Chrome installs using exported SwitchyOmega files.

🔹 Auto-Cycling Rules – Create a round-robin or random Switch Profile to evenly spread traffic across providers and avoid overusing specific proxies.

🔹 Backup Profiles – Always good to have spare proxy conditions as a failsafe in case of downtime or blacklisting. The Disabled condition type helps deactivate as needed.

Adopting best practices like these will ensure you squeeze every bit of potential out of this power-packed extension!

Of course mastery comes with experience. As you work more with proxies and SwitchyOmega, you‘ll discover even more efficiencies tailored to your unique needs.

Common Concerns New Users Have

While SwitchyOmega offers amazing proxy management conveniences, it isn‘t without limitations. Over the years helping others with proxies and web automation, I‘ve fielded plenty of frequently asked questions. Let‘s cover the big ones:

Does SwitchyOmega Hide My Real IP Address?

Short answer – no! As powerful as SwitchyOmega is for organizing profiles, activating proxies, and auto-switch rules, it does NOT include any actual proxy services itself.

You need to sign up for separate paid proxy plans and feed these configs into SwitchyOmega before any IP masking occurs. I recommend providers like BrightData, SmartProxy, or StormProxies to complement this extension.

What About Using SwitchyOmega on Firefox or Safari?

SwitchyOmega was originally built just for Chrome. The Firefox version is experimental and outdated. I suggest looking into the FoxyProxy Standard extension instead for proxy management within Firefox.

As for Safari, unfortunately Apple‘s locked-down ecosystem blocks this type of advanced browser customization. Safari users are out of luck when it comes to proxy manager extensions.

Can I Import Existing Proxies into SwitchyOmega?

Absolutely! When creating a new Proxy Profile, look for the Import icon in the upper right. From here you can load proxy details straight from a .pac file that contains all your necessary credential and configuration info.

The one downside is that auto-switch rules need to be rebuilt within SwitchyOmega. But importing proxies themselves is painless.

Parting Thoughts from a Data Expert

As online data harvesting techniques continue advancing, we‘re relying on robust, customizable proxies more than ever before to unlock success. Efficient proxy management is no longer optional – it‘s mandatory.

That‘s why I wholeheartedly suggest both new and seasoned proxy users give SwitchyOmega a try. It will upgrade your workflow. Streamline configuration switching. Unlock more data use cases. And just generally make your web scraping and browsing entreprise faster.

What tips do you have for maximizing SwitchyOmega based on your own proxy adventures? I‘d love to hear other innovative use cases or suggestions. The proxy world moves fast, so we must constantly share knowledge!

Stay curious out there and happy proxying! Let‘s reconvene again soon.

How to configure a proxy server on an iphone or ipad.

When you configure a proxy server for a Wi-Fi network, your iPhone or iPad will use it when accessing that network.

When you configure a proxy server for a Wi-Fi network, your iPhone or iPad will use it when accessing that network. This is sometimes required to access the Internet on a business or school network, for example. Your network traffic will be sent through the proxy you configure.

Related: What's the Difference Between a VPN and a Proxy?

Generally, you'll use a proxy if your school or work provides it to you. You could also use a proxy to hide your IP address or  access geoblocked websites  that aren't available in your country, but we recommend a VPN for that instead . If you need to set up a proxy for school or work, get the necessary credentials from them and read on.

Head to Settings > Wi-Fi to access proxy settings on an iPhone or iPad. Tap the name of the Wi-Fi network you're connected to. Scroll down and you'll see the "HTTP Proxy" option at the bottom of the screen.

By default, the HTTP Proxy option is set to "Off". This means your iPhone won't use a proxy at all when connected to the network.

To enable automatic proxy detection, select "Auto". Your iPhone will use the Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol, or WPAD, to see whether a proxy is necessary on the Wi-Fi network and automatically configure your proxy settings if one is required. This feature is often used on business and school networks. If your current network doesn't provide proxy details using the WPAD protocol, your iPhone or iPad won't use a proxy, even if you select "Auto" here.

To use an automatic proxy configuration script, sometimes called a .PAC file, select "Auto" and enter the address of the proxy auto-configuration script into the "URL" box. iOS will instead use the proxy auto-configuration script instead of WPAD to enable your proxy.

If your network administrator or proxy service provider wants you to use a proxy auto-configuration script, it will provide you with the address of the file.

To manually specify a proxy server's address and port, select "Manual". Enter the address of the proxy server in the "Server" box and the port it requires in the "Port" box. Your organization or proxy service provider will provide you with these details.

If the proxy server requires a username and password---your proxy provider will let you know if it does---enable the "Authentication" option here. Enter the username and password the proxy server requires in the "Username" and "Password" boxes.

If your iPhone or iPad can't connect to the proxy server---for example, if the proxy server goes down or if you enter its details incorrectly---you won't be able to access websites and other network addresses.

For example, in Safari you'll see a "Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found" message, and in the App Store you'll see a "Cannot Connect to App Store" message. Other applications will display their own network error messages.

You'll need to fix your proxy settings before you can continue accessing the Internet on that Wi-Fi network.

The proxy settings you configure are unique to each Wi-Fi network. In other words, if you want to use the same proxy on three different Wi-Fi networks, you'll have to enable it separately for each Wi-Fi network, entering the server details three times. That's because you may need to use a proxy while connected to the Wi-Fi network at your workplace, but not at home or on other Wi-Fi networks.

If you'd like to set up a global HTTP proxy that's used when connected to all Wi-Fi networks, you'll have to "supervise" your iPhone or iPad  and create a configuration profile that enables a proxy on all connections. Apple considers this a feature for businesses, schools, and other organizations, so it requires enterprise-grade configuration tools.

Safari proxy switcher extension/switcher

I can change my Safari proxy settings from Preferences menu but I want an extension/plugin which can switch the proxy server for me just like in Firefox and Chrome for example with Browsec extension.

I have been looking for a proxy switcher/extension for Safari but can't find it. Is there a reason why there are no proxy switcher extension in Safari? Also if one wants to develop an extension like that is it possible to do so?

Set SOCKS proxy for Safari

Is it possible to specify the SOCKS proxy for Safari in OS X Lion?

I've got an address and port number I have to fill in there but I can't find the settings in the browser...

3 Answers 3

No. It is only possible to set the system-wide proxy for a specific connection in System Preferences » Network » (select a connection) » Advanced… » Proxies .

Which is where you are sent when you access Safari » Preferences… » Advanced » Proxies .

• this is stupid, since in firefox I can do this without problem. what I wanted to say is if using safari can be hacked for this purpose –  Open the way Nov 1, 2011 at 19:07
• 1 @flow Firefox is a cross-platform program and probably not even capable of using the system-wide proxy. As should be obvious from the integration of the Network preference pane into Safari's own options, there just is no separate proxy configuration for Safari. –  Daniel Beck ♦ Nov 1, 2011 at 19:29
• SOCKS proxies are commonly used to provide different proxies for different processes. It's clearly a flaw in Mac OS X if you cannot easily do this. –  Jeff Burdges Apr 4, 2012 at 17:26
• 1 @flow How is this stupid? What use case do you have to configure Safari separately? In fact I find this greatly convenient. Any application that uses the system network settings, will be able to use any proxy you set. And you can configure multiple network profiles with different proxies and switch between them easily, instead of configuring each application (which could be 5 or 10), each time you switch connections (which could be at least twice per day, eg between work, home, school). –  Jason S Feb 12, 2014 at 19:20
• @JasonS Use case for being able to set Safari proxy alone: Safari for video (i.e. US NetFlix, etc.) as its video processing is efficient, but Chrome is my regular main browser (no need to appear from US) with its much better cross-browser sharing of bookmarks/passwords/history/tabs across devices. Sending traffic to route through (paid) proxy when not needed seems wasteful, slower and inefficient. –  Baker Oct 23, 2015 at 11:41

Try networksetup -setwebproxy

usage : networksetup -setwebproxy "Your service name" domain port authentication(on/off) username password

networksetup -setwebproxy "Wi-Fi" localhost 8000 off

The protocol defaults to http, you would have to specify socks:// Username and password only need to be set if your authentication is on.

There's also MacProxy to get system-wide network proxy support!

藏巧于拙 用晦而明 寓清于浊 以屈为伸

Safari实现SwitchyOmega的PAC代理功能

Safari 没有开放代理 API，因为 macOS 可以很方便地设置系统级的全局代理，但是全局代理则会导致所有流量走代理服务器。

相比类似于 Chrome + SwitchyOmega (auto switch) 那种代理上网效果（国内正常，国外走代理），Safari 在代理上网方面的扩展程序实在乏善可陈，这篇文章所解决的需求就是在 macOS Safari 平台上实现 Chrome 的这种代理上网方式。

1）导出Chrome的PAC 文件

从 Chrome 的 SwitchyOmega 扩展程序中将 PAC 文件导出，记得选择自动切换模式下的 PAC 文件。

2）启动一个http server承载PAC文件

在本机存放 PAC 的目录下用 python 直接起HTTP 服务：

系统偏好设置 👉🏻 网络 👉🏻 高级 👉🏻 代理 👉🏻 选择「自动代理配置」，URL填入刚才的PAC文件的下载地址:

Safari.pac就是刚才导出的PAC文件，目的是让系统能够找到PAC文件

可以用docker/supervisor/systemd类似的工具去管理进程，如果不想让本地维护http服务的话，可以在github中建个项目，把PAC文件上传，通过Github生成调用链接也是没问题的。

Court Rejects Republican States' Challenge to SEC's ESG Proxy Vote Rule

FILE PHOTO: The headquarters of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are seen in Washington, July 6, 2009. REUTERS/Jim Bourg/File Photo

By Clark Mindock

(Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Friday dismissed a lawsuit by four Republican-led states that sought to block a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rule requiring investment funds to categorize and disclose their proxy votes on issues including environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters.

A three-judge panel of the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that Texas, Louisiana, Utah and West Virginia lacked standing to challenge the rule as they had not shown how the states, or their citizens, would be directly harmed by it.

The panel included two judges appointed by Republican presidents and one Democratic appointee. The state attorneys general did not immediately respond to requests for comment, while an SEC spokesperson said the agency is pleased with the decision.

The SEC in 2022 adopted a rule set to take effect in July that expands the amount and type of information investment funds must disclose publicly about their proxy votes.

Funds will be required to report their votes in 14 categories, four of which are ESG-focused including climate change, human rights and diversity issues.

The agency said the rule would give investors more information about how funds, which own roughly 32% of the market capitalization of all U.S.-issues equities, are wielding voting power during shareholder votes.

The states sued in early 2023, arguing the rule amounts to an attempt by the SEC to pressure investment advisors and publicly traded companies to favor the agency's preferred social and environmental policies.

They said the rule would subject investment advisors to additional compliance costs, which would then be passed along to fund investors, including the states.

The 5th Circuit panel called those harms speculative, and said the states had not shown that any increased costs will actually be passed along. They also said the states had not shown the rule would directly harm industries the states have an interest in protecting, like oil and gas in Texas.

The court gave the states room to re-file the case.

U.S. Circuit Judge James Ho, an appointee of Republican former President Donald Trump, concurred with the majority's ruling but said "ambiguities and anticipated disputes" over the proper categorization of some votes "could support a valid theory of economic injury."

Parks! America Addresses False FC Assertions

PINE MOUNTAIN, Georgia , May 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Parks! America, Inc. (OTCPink: PRKA) (“Parks! America” or the “Company” ), a leading operator of regional safari parks in the United States .

Dear Parks ! America Shareholders,

On April 23, 2024 , we filed our proxy statement for the upcoming June 6, 2024 Parks! America, Inc. (“PRKA” or the “Company”) Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and the mailing of the proxy commenced on April 26, 2024 . Please read the information in this proxy carefully and cast your votes thoughtfully. We strongly encourage you to vote using the WHITE proxy card enclosed with your proxy.

If you have not received your proxy materials, including the WHITE proxy card, please immediately contact our proxy solicitor, Saratoga Proxy Consulting, LLC at (888) 368-0379 or [email protected] .

Focused Compounding (“FC”) had committed to use a Blue proxy card; we urge you to NOT vote the FC Blue proxy card and to toss it in the trash. FC caused considerable confusion ahead of the February 26, 2024 Special Meeting of Stockholders by sending certain investors white proxy cards and others blue proxy cards. Additionally, the vote proxy by phone number included on FC’s mailed proxy card for Special Meeting directed shareholders to vote a proxy for China Jo-Jo Drugstores, Inc. This amateurish occurrence had the potential to disenfranchise our shareholders.

It’s been a wild ride since mid-December last year when FC launched their attempt at a hostile takeover of your Company without articulating any plans for the Company or offering a control premium to the remaining shareholders for the privilege of FC controlling the Company and its assets as they see fit. They attempted to bully the Board of Directors (the “Board”) into immediately turning over the Company and three days later called for a Special Election in the hope of removing the existing Board. They were wrong.

FC Continues to Reject Settlement Offers that are in the Best Interests of the Company and its Shareholders, and Instead has Unnecessarily Continued a Costly Campaign

It must be noted that the PRKA Board has offered FC board representation commensurate with their ownership percentage of PRKA to put an end to this needless and expensive proxy contest. FC owns 38.5% of the outstanding stock of PRKA. FC has been offered three of the seven seats that comprise the Board. In fact, that representation exceeds their percentage ownership of PRKA stock. FC has rejected ALL reasonable offers. We are left to conclude their singular interest is to control the Company without owning a majority of PRKA stock. The remainder of the PKRA shareholders need to seriously consider the implications of FC’s intentions.

As you’ve heard in various correspondence, FC has expressed several issues with management and the Board of PRKA . As we approach the Annual Meeting it is time to address some of those concerns and set the record straight :

FC assertion : Lisa Brady is not qualified to be CEO of Parks! America .

• PRKA FACT : Lisa Brady was brought on after an extensive nationwide search and hiring process. She has meaningful direct industry experience both in operating and management functions at Cedar Fair, a leading owner and operator of regional amusement and water parks, and a New York Stock Exchange -listed company. She has capital markets experience, which will be important as the Company reignites consistent growth and requires additional capital to step up to the next level. In addition, Ms. Brady and her husband own several small businesses, including a kayak outfitter and a boutique hotel, which have provided Ms. Brady with valuable and unique experience developing, operating and optimizing commercial efforts on a smaller scale. For the past 18 months she has been working to address the issues created by the Company’s previous Chairman and CEO, Dale Van Voorhis , and his team. While there is still work to do, meaningful and measurable progress has been made.

FC assertion : PRKA has not held an Annual Meeting for 13 years.

• PRKA FACT : Mr. Van Voorhis was adamantly against holding annual meetings citing cost concerns. During his tenure with the Company, Mr. Van Voorhis was also a major stockholder, owning approximately 21% of the outstanding shares. As such, Mr. Van Voorhis had a high degree of autonomy to run the Company and did so without calling an Annual Meeting since 2010. Ms. Brady recognized this was a deficiency for a public company and during the summer of 2023 she committed to Andrew Kuhn of FC that PRKA would hold an Annual Meeting in early 2024. Mr. Van Voorhis began objecting to that plan during the fall of 2023 and apparently contacted FC, which appears to have led up to his selling 100% of his PRKA stock to FC on December 14, 2023 .

FC assertion : FC has nominated a dissident slate of board members with the experience needed to revitalize PRKA.

• PRKA FACT : By their own admission, FC’s nominees to become directors of your Company have never run an operating business or managed a publicly traded company. The dissident slate of directors FC put forth has no relevant expertise or experience to manage an entity with the unique requirements of an animal wildlife safari business, which is also a publicly traded company. They have ZERO senior management experience and have never been involved in running a stock exchange listed company. Three of the four on the dissident slate are stock traders and podcasters. The two FC principals have no educational credentials past high school, no senior corporate experience, and have never worked at a publicly traded company.

FC assertion : PRKA rigged the Special Election.

• PRKA FACT : FC did not initially understand that Nevada law – the state in which PRKA is incorporated and therefore is the law under which the Company operates – requires a two-thirds vote to remove sitting directors in a Special Meeting of Stockholders. Even after they understood this two-thirds requirement, FC insisted on forcing PRKA to expend significant funds to hold a Special Meeting although they knew full well they could not prevail. Predictably, they came up short of the two-thirds threshold. On March 1, 2024 , just four days after the completion of the Special Meeting, FC filed a lawsuit in Nevada , attempting to handcuff the Company operationally. Again, FC forced the Company to expend considerable funds and resources to defend against FC’s tactics. FC has shown time and again, they have NO interest in taking actions that benefit all PRKA shareholders, in fact they have no qualms about draining the Company of valuable funds all in order wrest control.

FC assertion : FC will not recover their proxy expenses from the Company if they prevail at the Annual Meeting.

• PRKA FACT : FC has deceitfully left the door wide open on this issue. In a letter to the Board on January 18, 2024 , FC wrote: “We’re willing to eat the costs of our side of the proxy fight and not seek to recover expenses from the company as is often done in these situations (emphasis added). It had always been our intention not to seek to recover any expenses. However, our lawyers/advisors suggested we leave this language in to prepare for the possibility that this would be a long and expensive process. So far, our expenses have been manageable. We’re fine eating them. We don’t need to recover expenses from the company if you’re ready to settle now . We may seek to recover expenses if this continues for months” (emphasis added). It is now more than three and one-half months since that letter. Management and the Board have approached FC to reasonably resolve this matter by offering board representation commensurate with the ownership percentage in the Company. They have turned down ALL offers to this point. They want more than representation, they want control . It also appears that FC will likely seek to recover their proxy expenses from PRKA shareholders should they prevail at the Annual Meeting, further draining your Company of resources needed to sustain the business.

These are just some of the representative claims that FC has made against the current PRKA management and Board.

Since Lisa Brady became CEO in November 2022 , the focus has been on addressing the disregard and the disrepair of the parks’ infrastructure, improving the physical conditions of animal habitats, adding new attractions, generating new customers and improving the overall customer experience, as well as leading the recovery effort at our Georgia park in the aftermath of the late-March 2023 tornado devastation. Ms. Brady has also led efforts to improve corporate governance and shareholder relations.

It takes a broad range of skills and an operating plan to successfully run a company like Parks! America . Management and the Board have the skills and experience to do it successfully, as well as address the mess from the previous CEO and the catastrophic tornado at our Georgia park last year. We are making great progress.

The fact remains, FC lacks the necessary skill sets, expertise and experience to run PRKA.

FC Has Not Disclosed All Relevant Information to PRKA Shareholders.

Another FACT to consider, Andrew Kuhn , one FC’s principals, appears to have attempted to build a drive-thru animal park in the Florida Panhandle . Kuhn is the agent for Coastal Animal Safari Operations LLC , which filed as a Florida Limited Liability Company effective January 13, 2023 , which remains active as of May 1, 2024 .

Our understanding is the original plan was to build a scaled-down drive-thru safari modeled after the parks owned and operated by PRKA, with limited food service and gift shop offerings, and no walkabout.

An important question to ask: How can someone who appears to have recently failed at starting an animal safari park be given the reins of your Company and its three-park system and all it entails?

This attempt to build a drive-thru animal park, and the apparent subsequent failure of that attempt, has not been disclosed by FC. If there are other plans for this legal entity, why has FC failed to disclose that? What else has FC conveniently decided not to disclose to PRKA shareholders?

As we approach the Annual Meeting on June 6 th, recall that the leading independent proxy advisory firms, ISS and Glass Lewis, recommended Parks! America shareholders vote “AGAINST” each of FC’s proposals at the Special Meeting on February 26, 2024 . Both firms rejected FC’s takeover attempt and supported CEO Lisa Brady and the incumbent board of directors. FC has not presented a viable and convincing case as to why they should run your Company.

The question is who is capable of running your company effectively? Current management or a dissident slate of stock traders and podcasters that have failed in their attempt to build a single location park?

We believe you know. We appreciate your support in this matter.

Remember your Annual Meeting vote on the WHITE card is a vote for Parks! America .

About Parks! America, Inc.
