What information must you provide to shareholders in this process? Generally, the majority of company shareholders do not show up to the shareholders meetings. Instead, they assign their votes to individuals to vote on their behalf. This process is known as a corporate proxy.
A proxy vote is a ballot cast by one person or firm for a company's shareholder who can't attend a meeting, or who doesn't want to vote on an issue. Prior to a company's annual meeting, eligible shareholders may receive voting and proxy information before a shareholder vote.
A Proxy Vote is a delegation of voting authority to a representative on behalf of the original vote-holder. The party who receives the authority to vote is known as the Proxy and the original vote-holder is known as the Principal. The concept is important in financial markets and particularly with public companies.
In the absence of his principal from the annual meeting of a business corporation, the proxy has the right to vote in all instances, but he has not the right to debate or otherwise participate in the proceedings unless he is a stockholder in that same corporation.
Rather than physically attending the shareholder meeting, investors may elect someone else, such as a member of the company's management team, to vote in their place. This person is designated as a proxy and will cast a proxy vote in line with the shareholder's directions as written on their proxy card.
One of your key rights as a shareholder is the right to vote your shares in corporate elections. Shareholder voting rights give you the power to elect directors at annual or special meetings and make your views known to company management and directors on significant issues that may affect the value of your shares.
The Act, in section 58(1)(a), provides that any shareholder of a company has the right to appoint another person as his or her (or its) proxy to attend and to speak and vote at a shareholders' meeting of the company.
Shareholders can vote their proxies via mail, internet, phone, or by attending the annual meeting in person. Voting instructions are provided on the proxy and votes can be changed as long as they meet the stated deadlines (usually 24 hours before the meeting for U.S. companies).
About once every year, for most companies, you will have the right to vote your shares on a variety of topics related to the companies you own in your portfolio. These are called proxy votes. Regular individual shareholders generally receive one vote per share owned.
Shareholders send in a card (called a proxy card) on which they mark their vote. The card authorizes a proxy agent to vote the shareholder's stock as directed on the card. The proxy card may specify how shares are to be voted or may simply give the proxy agent discretion to decide how the shares are to be voted.
