International Shareholder Communications

Given today's increased focus on governance, many shareholders expect companies to communicate general meeting information to them directly, and to establish improved voting controls and procedures. Broadridge is answering this increased demand for corporations to have a direct, efficient, interactive and transparent communication process with shareholders by offering a specialised proxy processing service directly to corporations or their agent.

Through Broadridge's International Shareholder Communication service, your company can provide complete original company meeting information direct to your shareholders sooner, giving them time to properly review the information and make an informed voting decision. You can then monitor the ongoing activity and reconcile that the votes cast through Broadridge are accurately and completely reflected at your shareholder meeting. Through the same channels, we also provide meeting results back to your shareholders.

By engaging with Broadridge directly, we can enable your company to:

• Distribute your meeting materials to investors held in nominee accounts
  
  
• Monitor nominee level activity right up to the registrar's vote deadline
  
  
• Reconcile votes received from your company's registrar the day before the meeting with votes processed and executed by Broadridge in the weeks prior to you receiving them
  
  
• Distribute the shareholder meeting results to the investors held in nominee accounts
  
  

As a global company, we facilitate the material distribution and voting service in over 90 countries. Your shareholders are able to take part in the meeting process no matter where they are in the world. The Broadridge service provides a greater degree of inclusion and corporate governance by providing the opportunity for every investor to be included in the process.
