Universal Proxy Card: What Boards Need to Know
WHEN: Wednesday, March 1, 2023
TIME: 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. ET
As of September 2022, for all US publicly traded company shareholder meetings, new rules require the use of a universal proxy card, listing all candidates properly nominated by the company or a shareholder. What does this mean for boards who can no longer use the "our card vs their card" approach and for activists who can now place their candidates on a single card for voting?
Join our expert panel for this interactive session, sponsored by JPMorgan Chase & Co, to get your questions answered about these new proxies and the impact it will have on board elections.
Host: Esther Aguilera, President & CEO, LCDA
Moderator: Rebecca Thornton, Managing Director and Head, Director Advisory Services at J.P. Morgan
