Survey Results: Voting Options for Registered Shareholders
| It is our understanding that the SEC has asked
transfer agents (and others that deal with registered shareholders) to
ensure that - if their phone and Internet voting applications have a
"vote with management" button - they must also have a "vote against
management" button. As Broc has
blogged, Broadridge will eliminate the "vote with..." button,
encourage beneficial holders to vote on individual items, and indicate
that if the holder clicks on "submit" without selecting any items
individually, proxies and vote instructions will be cast in accordance
with board recommendations. |
