How Our Annual Meeting Services Can Help

meeting-proxy-min

We provide shareholder meeting and proxy services in a bundled package with Notice and Access, secure voting, and mailing solutions to both public and private companies. This service has proven to be very effective in reducing unnecessary mailing fees typically charged by larger broker processing institutions.

For registered shareholders, we manage the complete process — from broker search to final tabulations. Shareholders receive a control number to securely access proposals online and vote their shares via web or phone. All proxy statement preparation services for public companies, tabulation, and detailed reporting are included. Our annual meeting services include:

Beneficial Shareholder Services

For non-voting meetings and mailings, we send materials directly to NOBOs and registered shareholders. Depending on the issuer’s bylaws and the type of communication, we may implement Notice and Access for additional cost savings — a hallmark of our cost-effective shareholder meeting management solutions.

Notice and Access Services

Since January 1, 2009, the SEC has required issuers to post proxy materials on a public website and send a notice to shareholders about availability. Issuers may choose to send either the full proxy package or just the notice, allowing shareholders to request materials by mail or email at no cost. You can view the complete SEC rule here.
