IF NO - Then help the shareholder obtain the material he/she requires. If a NOBO, give him/her the 800# and have them call back when they receive. If registered, we will send the materials directly. In either case, make sure the address is correct, make any necessary corrections, and code the disposition as "14" or "15".
IF YES - Your Board Members are asking you to consider proposals which they have studied carefully and they recommend that you vote in favor of the proposals. For your convenience, I can record your vote over the telephone right now. Okay? |
IF YES - Do you have any questions before we proceed? |
Take time to answer all questions carefully. Do not give advice. Remind the shareholder that his/her Board Members have recommended that he/she vote in favor of the proposal. Most questions can be addressed by referring to the proxy statement and reading the appropriate sections.
Here is how we will proceed. The call will be recorded. I will ask you for your name, your address andONLY the last 4 digits of your social security number (or Tax Identification Number if shares are registered to an entity). Finally, I will confirm that you have received the proxy materials and take your vote. You will be mailed a letter confirming your votes, which will tell you how to make any changes, if you wish. Are you ready? |
