May I please speak with ______________?
(Re-greet if necessary)
Mr./Mrs./Ms. (insert last name), our records indicate that there is no vote registered for your shares. Because the meeting is taking place in a few days, we are calling on behalf of the funds to register shareholders’ votes by phone. May I quickly secure your vote now over the phone?
The Board has recommended a vote in favor of all proposals. Would you like to vote along with your Board’s recommendation? (Pause)
Would you like to vote all of your accounts accordingly?

REBUTTALS
If shareholder states:
- Undecided
- Will Vote by mail/internet
If quorum is not reached by the meeting date, there is a possibility that the meeting will have to be adjourned to a later date. Adjournments can become costly to the fund as the fund will need to send out proxy materials to all shareholders who have not yet voted. If you record your vote by phone, within 3 to 5 business days you will receive written confirmation that your shares will be represented at the meeting. Would you like to record your vote today so your shares will be counted towards quorum?
If shareholder states:
•Has Voted
We don’t currently have your vote recorded in our system. To ensure that your vote is counted at the meeting I can reconfirm your vote for you over the phone. Would you like to confirm your vote IN FAVOR of all proposals, along with the recommendation of your Board?
