KINGLOUI,
here's the updates w/ OX THIS MORNING:
YAY -WE CAN VOTE ONLINE!
=============================================
Please wait for a site operator to respond.
You are now chatting with 'Tatiana'
Welcome to optionsXpress, how may I help you?
Tatiana: Good morning
ME: yes, good morning...i wonder you've heard anything about the washington mutual 's voting ballots?
Tatiana: These are not released yet, however possibly might be on Monday, if not should be accessible by the end of the week.
ME: my question is that OX will send out the ballots to me right?
Tatiana: No. These will be posted within the account under the account tab and then positions link. You then will see these under the shareholder services tab.
ME: it means i'll cast my votes online?
Tatiana: Correct
ME: how come i got instructed by kcclcc that my broker are supposed to send out voting ballots for shareholders to complete and sign? and i have a new account w/ charles schwab , thay said the same thing?
Tatiana: With optionsXpress these are usually accessible online rather than being sent out via mail.
ME: so OX WILL prepare the master votes and send them in to kccllc, right?
Tatiana: Correct, we then submit the votes on our account holders behalf
ME: i understand Charles Schwab owns OX, HOW COME THE VOTING PROCEDURE REGARDING WASHINGTON MUTUAL ARE DIFFRENT?
Tatiana: OptionsXpress is ownded by Charles Schwab, however we are still two independent brokerages
Tatiana: And operate differently, there is a variety of features we offer or products that Schwab does not.
ME: WHEN DO I EXPECT TO SEE THE POSTING REGARDING THE VOTING...AND WHEN IS THE DEADLINE FOR ME TO VOTE AND SEND BACK TO YOU?
Tatiana: As I mentioned it might be by Monday, however could be throughout the end of the week as well, unfortunately I do not have the details as to when the vote has to be done by yet
Tatiana: However can check on that on Monday when we are fully staffed again if you like.
Tatiana: I can then email you with the updates if available at that time.
=========================================
OK KEEP ME POSTED AND I WILL DO THE SAME...
DANTI
