Will influential proxy advisors vote against management at your next general meeting?

We live in a world of wireless and digital communication, global internet access, online banking systems, in essence a commoditized community where everything is within arm’s reach. Unfortunately the same scenario applies to a large fraction of foreign shareholders who (depending upon the entities within your shareholder structure) outsource their voting obligations to influential third parties such as ISS, Glasslewis, Nis, Egan Jones, Manifest, proxinvest or Ivox.

“In the spheres of influence chance favours only the prepared”

These very same Proxy Advisors may give a negative recommendation towards one or more of your agenda items, so it’s important they receive good data and information pertaining to your meeting. Amid the principal tasks carried out by ProxyCensus during this critical phase, is the highlighting of investors who are reliant upon proxy advisors for voting issues. Another important factor is that we ensure that the proxy advisors have done their utmost to make a informed decision and, where a verdict remains negative, create a pro-active dialogue with the proxy advisors and actual investors who may be unaware of the decision taken by their preferred outsourced provider.
