My concern comes from holding an OTC a few years ago ( not the one I was working with). The stock was heavily NSS'd and I and others did not always receive proxies. After some research I found that if shareholders were holding "markers" in their brokerage accounts instead of real shares transferred via DTC. that brokerages had a practice of proportionately dividing the voted shares so they matched the real shares. Just because Broadridge is involved does not give me sufficient comfort.
NOTE - the proxy clearly stated that the broker could not vote with non-voted shares.
Because of this I prefer to mail the company a paper trail of my vote...I also am glad my votes at the public ballot box are on paper.
After sleeping on it, I will be making a copy of both ballots and mailing them to the company. I will also be happy to make a copy with the control number left blank and post it for anyone who wants to do the same.
As I said - I trust NO ONE on the street. If anything were to go wonky here wouldn't it be nice if the company had a bunch of paper ballots in hand to audit with?
