Don't know for sure, but it seems to me that simply means an adjournment vote does not count the non-cast votes. People who cast their votes as a no will still be counted in an adjournment vote, but the shares that were not voted and counted as a no vote in the R/S vote will not count as a no in the adjournment vote since they were never cast and do not have a proxy representative? Doesn't whoever representatives the proxy votes represent all of both the yes and the no votes? They must count all of the votes the proxy represents? If so, it wouldn't matter whether a person was at the meeting or not, all of the votes actually cast would be counted in both the proxy vote and a possible adjournment vote. It is the shares that were not voted that could be contacted by the company and urged to vote. If there is not a clear "winner" one way or the other, getting the non-voters to vote would be the only way to conclude the vote with a voted majority which is as it should be. Those shares might be voted either yes or no. Bottom line is for everyone to be sure to VOTE, either yes or no. Never take any vote for granted.
