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

Panelists: 

Benjamin Colton, Global Head of the Asset Stewardship Team at State Street Global Advisors (SSGA) 

David Freedman, Vice Chairman, Global Head of Shareholder Engagement and M&A Capital Markets, J.P. Morgan

Eduardo Gallardo, Partner, Global Co-Chair of Mergers & Acquisitions,  Paul Hastings
