From the DEF: "This Proxy Statement will first be mailed on or about July 13, 2007 or as soon as practicable thereafter." That is about one month in advance of the vote. Does the company even have a list of shareholder names and contact information? I believe once the company turns the materials over to the transfer agent, it is out of the company's control. It then becomes the transfer agent's, your broker's, etc. responsibility to actually distribute the proxy materials to the shareholders. The company allowed a similar amount of time for the BDC proxy, but I don't recall the problems during the BDC vote being traced to the company. I believe it was more of a broker issue.
