Can a stockholder be represented by proxy at the Annual General Meeting and issue proxy authorizations and voting instructions in advance of the meeting?
Stockholders unable to attend the Annual General Meeting in person can issue proxy authorizations and voting instructions. By issuing proxy authorizations and voting instructions in advance, a stockholder can authorize proxies nominated by the Company to vote in accordance with his or her instructions. The proxy authorization and the instructions to the Company-nominated proxies can be issued in writing or electronically via the internet. In addition, the proxy authorization can be issued to a bank or stockholders’ association. The proxy authorization and the instructions must be sent directly to these bodies. However, stockholders should first make sure that the bank or stockholders’ association has agreed to represent their voting rights.
