Frequently Asked Questions

A Shareholder Irrevocable Proxy is a legal document that allows a shareholder to designate another person to vote on their behalf at shareholder meetings. This proxy is irrevocable, meaning it cannot be revoked or terminated by the shareholder once granted.

Filling out the Shareholder Irrevocable Proxy involves providing your name, the name of the proxy holder, and any specific voting instructions. It's important to follow the included instructions and checklist to ensure compliance with state laws.

No, once the Shareholder Irrevocable Proxy is executed, it cannot be revoked or changed by the shareholder. This is a key feature of an irrevocable proxy, ensuring that the designated proxy has the authority to vote as specified.

Yes, the Shareholder Irrevocable Proxy is designed for use in all states, complying with various state laws regarding proxy voting and shareholder rights.

If your proxy holder is unable to attend the meeting, the proxy may become ineffective unless alternative arrangements are made. It's advisable to have a backup proxy or to communicate any changes well in advance of the meeting.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are unable to attend a shareholder meeting due to personal commitments or scheduling conflicts may utilize the Shareholder Irrevocable Proxy to ensure their voting rights are exercised. This document allows them to designate someone else to vote on their behalf, reflecting their preferences even in their absence.
  • Situations requiring a shareholder to delegate voting authority for an extended period can benefit from this irrevocable proxy. For example, a shareholder traveling abroad for business might not be able to participate in meetings, making it essential to appoint a trusted proxy to vote in alignment with their interests.
  • For those involved in a contentious corporate environment, using an irrevocable proxy can help secure votes against potential hostile takeovers or unfavorable decisions. By granting voting power to a reliable proxy, shareholders can safeguard their investments and influence corporate governance effectively.
  • Shareholders looking to streamline their voting process during annual meetings may find the Shareholder Irrevocable Proxy advantageous. By pre-designating a proxy with clear voting instructions, they can ensure their voice is heard without needing to attend every meeting in person.
  • In cases where a shareholder is incapacitated or otherwise unable to communicate their voting preferences, this proxy form provides a legal means to ensure their rights are protected. It allows for continuity in decision-making, even when the shareholder cannot participate directly.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate for shareholders who wish to retain the ability to change their voting decisions frequently. Since the proxy is irrevocable, it is unsuitable for those who may want to adjust their voting preferences as situations evolve.
  • – In cases where a shareholder is present at the meeting, using an irrevocable proxy is unnecessary. Shareholders should vote in person to ensure their direct participation in the decision-making process.
  • – If a shareholder is unsure about the voting instructions or the implications of granting someone else voting authority, it is advisable to seek legal counsel before using this form. Misunderstandings could lead to unintended consequences.
  • – For shareholders who have not thoroughly researched the proxy holder's intentions or qualifications, this form may not be suitable. Trust and alignment with the proxy's voting philosophy are critical for effective representation.
  • – In situations where the shareholder is under duress or coercion, using an irrevocable proxy would not be appropriate. It's essential that the decision to grant proxy authority is made freely and voluntarily.
