I think there is more to it than that. They adjourned the vote because there were not enough shares voted to constitute a quorum.
To me, that means management does not control or influence enough shares to control the vote. If they did, the vote would have passed.
Confusing proxy or not, this tells me management does not have much skin in the game here. They would not have been confused by a goofy proxy - you can bet for sure that management knew exactly what a yes vote would do, what a no vote would do and what not voting would do.
