Proxy Access and Blank Voting

Posted on May 20, 2009 by Francis Pileggi

James McRitchie, Publisher of  CorpGov.net, has a post  here  that discusses the SEC’s vote of May 20, 2009 on proxy access, and includes commentary regarding "blank votes" which he describes as: "when retail shareowners vote but leave items on their proxy blank, those items are routinely voted by their bank or broker as the subject company’s soliciting committee recommends."
