Every person who is entitled to vote shares may authorize another person or persons to act as a proxy in respect to those shares.
The proxy rules require the company to provide certain disclosures in a proxy statement to its shareholders, together with a proxy card in a specified format, when soliciting authority to vote the shareholders' shares.
Where a Member cannot attend the Meeting in person, he is entitled to appoint a Proxy to attend on his behalf. Every Notice calling a Meeting should state that any Member entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint another person as a Proxy Sub-section (1) of Section 105 of the Act.
Proxy statements describe matters up for shareholder vote, and include management and executive compensation information if the shareholders are voting for the election of directors.
A member may appoint one or more proxies to vote in respect of the different shares held by him or he may appoint one or more proxies in the alternative, so that if the first named proxy fails to vote, the second one may do so, and so on.
Proxy Statement Filing Date: Allow 1-3 business days between the definitive proxy statement SEC Filing date and mail date. Meeting Date: At least 40 calendar days is required between the mailing and meeting dates if you are sending the Notice only.
The Companies Act 2006 simply refers to a shareholder's right to appoint “another person”. Therefore, a shareholder can appoint any other person to serve as their proxy. There is no statutory requirement for a proxy to be a shareholder, director, or secretary of the company.
To validly appoint a proxy, the shareholder must send a 'proxy notice' to the director(s) at least 48 hours (two clear working days) before the relevant general meeting. This notice should contain the following information: Name and service address of the shareholder who is appointing the proxy.
Further, the section also says that the proxy shall not have any right to speak. As a rule, a proxy can demand a poll. No company, being an artificial entity can be present, vote and speak or demand a poll. Only a natural person/individual could do all the above.
A shareholder proxy is a person who is appointed to stand in for a shareholder at a general meeting of members. Essentially, the proxy acts as a representative or substitute for the shareholder in their absence by attending a general meeting and voting on their behalf.
