In advance of the Annual General Meeting to be held on 28th November, please find attached updated guidelines on voting via nominee accounts.
How to vote - Broker-by-Broker 3.4.pdf (357.56 KB)
As before this will continue to be updated periodically as information on deadlines etc. filters through from the various brokers. To that end please feel free to add any comments about difficulties with certain brokers and how you have got around it etc. on the thread here:
rangeig.boards.net/thread/323/agm-2014-voting-issues-comments
or contact me or one one of the other RIG reps or email to rangeinvestorgroup@gmail.com. We have in the past experienced misleading / incorrect info from some brokers to the effect that it's not possible to vote on AIM shares etc., some of their staff seemingly don't know their own system or suffer internal comms issues. Feedback received suggests the experience is improving, but obviously we wouldn't want members to be denied a vote because of a problem with the broker.
Note that in general brokers will be wanting the votes to be in a few days in advance of the AGM so that they can collate them and pass the proxies on to Range. Each varies with their timescales.
As before, RIG reps are not going to advise a 'party line' on which way to vote on the resolutions, i.e. for, against or abstain - we consider that individual members are intelligent enough to form their own view on how they should vote on each resolution. However, we do strongly advise all members to vote in some way, particularly given the large number and variety of resolutions this time around, it is a real opportunity to make your voice heard, and as such the abstain option would be better than not voting at all.
For ease of reference, here is the link to the AGM notice with the resolutions on the Range website:
www.rangeresources.co.uk/framework/documents/displaydocument.asp?doc=1270
If you wish to attend the AGM in person, note that brokers usually have registration arrangements for this, so you need to check with them to avoid disappointment. Details will be added to the document as and when known, so please let us you when you do!
