proxy n. A person (not necessarily a company member) appointed by a company member to attend and vote instead of him at a company meeting (Companies Act 2006 s 324). Directors often offer themselves as proxies by sending out proxy forms with the notice of the meeting. When this is done at company expense, forms must be sent to all company members alike. In the case of a listed company, the form must enable members to direct the proxy whether to vote for or against the resolution; in other cases, it may specify that the proxy is to use his discretion. The articles of association may confer more extensive rights on members or proxies than are conferred by section 331 of the Act. |
