Key Statistics and Performance Ratings for the 2013 Proxy Season
Annual report containing key metrics on shareholder communications processing, technology utilization and cost savings to corporate issuers.
Broadridge’s 2013 Proxy Season Statistics Report covers proxies mailed between March 1, 2013 and June 14 2013, and shows that a record 62% of all physical mailings were eliminated as a result of Broadridge technologies for householding, e-delivery, and managed account processing. Additionally, shareholder utilization of Broadridge-enabled technologies is increasing across the proxy process:
- Consents to e-delivery continue to grow and reached an all-time high of 45.3 million positions.
- This season, 28.6 billion shares were voted through the Company’s online voting platform proxyvote.com compared to 13.7 billion shares voted by hard copy vote instruction forms.
In addition to its annual statistical report, Broadridge, in collaboration with PwC’s Center for Board Governance, produces ProxyPulse – providing data and insights on shareholder voting trends and results as the proxy season unfolds.
