Rick,
And you're making the assumption that the proxy so assigned is actually admitted into the meeting!
I have my doubts personally, so if peple sign all their shares over to a person that cannot gain admittance, all those votes will be lost!
This is why I say somebody needs to refer to company law BEFORE the AGM, as afterwards, like last year, it will be too late.
You're expecting them to bowl balls at a line and length, I'm expecting at least one googlie!
Do you remember the boasts last year the week before?
The fact that the AGM is being held on company premises in small board room should be an area of concern IMO, with regards to how many shareholders, if any, will be admitted.
You need legal advise NOW!
