- Proxy Statements
1. Management often encourages shareholders to vote by proxy so that ownership
interests are fully represented even if shareholders are unable to attend the
company's annual meetings in person.
2.
The proxy discloses important information about issues to be discussed at an
annual meeting, lists the qualifications of management and board members, serves
as a ballot for elections to the board of directors, lists the largest
shareholders of a company's stock and provides detailed
information about executive compensation.
