Description

-National Campaigns Unit provides shareholder communications for public companies on behalf of internal clients (i.e. Computershare and Georgeson)

-This project is to support their Fall Proxy - proxy season plays a central role in helping companies manage their annual meetings and voting processes

-This typically involves helping companies communicate with shareholders about key issues that require a vote (i.e., electing board members, approve executive compensation, other other governance matters). They distribute proxy materials, collect votes (online, by mail, or phone) and record the votes securely.

-They also handle the printing and mailing of proxy statements, annual reports, and voting instructions. They deliver these mailings by digital delivery or physical mail and once the shareholder receives the communication, this can prompt them to call in to provide a vote.

-Each project that is handled has an upcoming Board of Directors meeting scheduled, where they are trying to gather a certain # of votes to adjourn the items they need to vote on. These meetings can be in person, virtual or hybrid, and Computershare helps organize and run the event by assisting with registration, vote tabulation, and post-meeting reporting.

-Shareholder communications includes inbound, outbound, and email response

-Agents are held to closing votes (AM shift primarily receives inbound calls and PM shift primarily places outbound calls) with shareholders. A lot of the questions that come are those seeking clarity or assistance with voting.

-Calls typically involve: (1) understanding how to vote online, phone or mail, (2) want to know specific items on the ballot mean -- board elections, mergers, executive compensation, (3) ask for paper copies of proxy statements, (4) update their vote

-What are companies trying to get votes on? (1) Board of Directors elections - this is to elect or re-elect board members who oversee company strategy, (2) Executive compensation - express approval or disapproval of how top executives are paid, (3) Mergers and Acquisitions - major corporate changes often require shareholder approval, (4) Proposals - include topics like environmental policies, diversity initiatives, or governance reforms, (5) Auditor Ratification - vote to approve company's choice of external auditor
