Completing the Form
· Receipt of acceptable proxy forms will be notified to the member using the email address in the Members’ Database. No other form of acknowledgement will be made.
· The Chair or your nominated representative will act as your proxy to carry out your instructions at the voting stages.
· The proxy will act on your behalf at the AGM, voting on each resolution according to your wishes or using their judgement if no instructions are provided on the form as appropriate.
· You may optionally give instructions to the proxy as to your wishes regarding the resolutions. This must be indicated by selecting where appropriate on the form. For each resolution, these instructions may be
to vote FOR or AGAINST the resolution, or
to actively WITHHOLD YOUR VOTE, or
to allow the proxy to use their DISCRETION as to the vote
· The “Vote Withheld” option is provided to enable you to instruct your proxy to abstain and not to vote on a particular resolution. However, it should be noted that a vote withheld in this way is not a ‘vote’ in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes ‘For’ and ‘Against’ a resolution.
· If no indication to the proxy is given for any resolution then by default the proxy may use his/her discretion as to how to vote for that particular agenda item.
· Your proxy will still be in force for any adjournment of the meeting.
· Proxy instructions may be amended using this form until noon on 11 June 2025.
· Your proxy will remain active until revoked by your counter written instructions.
· Outcome of the various agenda resolutions will be reported in LabMed News.
