A. Proxy Form
The Ministry updated the mandatory proxy on May 10, 2018. This
new form will need to be used going forward.
The new form is a little 'cleaner', and easier to
follow. That said, we expect that this form will still present
difficulties for many owners in completing properly.
The main substantive change is that the instructions and choices
now make it clear that, if the proxy is appointed to vote on all
matters, and no specific voting instructions are
inserted in the applicable sections, the proxy may nominate and
vote on all matters as if present. (That is, the proxy should
receive a ballot to vote for directors or other matters as the case
may be, again, subject to any specific instructions completed on
the proxy.) This was a subject of dispute with the previous form of
proxy.
