COURT MEETING (3rd March) - IMPORTANT21 Feb 2020 10:13
Great post by cityslicker1000. Please read:
"I am greatly heartened to see the strength and volume for a NO vote being expressed by PIs on this BB. I feel strongly too and have consequently contacted HL, my nominee, to investigate how I can maximise the value of my vote.
I have previously posted regarding the vulnerability of SXX to a loss at the Court Meeting at 11:00. Remember, one shareholder, one vote. This means that your individual vote at the meeting, even if you only hold a very few shares, counts as much as that of J curve, Jupiter, Polygon, etc., despite them holding their millions of shares. Remember also that it is a 50% vote by number of shareholders voting and there are many, many more of us than there are of them.
My call to HL was very instructive and they responded to my questions (through a very helpful young man called Dan) as follows;
1. If you do not take any action to acquire an individual vote for yourself at this meeting you will be included, along with several thousand others, in the single vote that they can register.
2. If you make a request to them, they will provide you with a letter that will allow you to vote as an individual in this meeting. Your vote is thus very powerful.
3. If you do not wish to attend the meeting, they will provide a Proxy to vote on your behalf.
4. If you wish to vote by proxy you will need to give them at least 5 days notice to make the necessary arrangements.
I was blown away when considering the opportunity that this proxy option offered. Thousands of voters who might have lost their influence can be enfranchised."
Your vote MATTERS. Please follow the instructions above. The most important thing to remember is that the vote at the Court Meeting is where SXX is very, very, very vulnerable to a NO vote. Remember, one share holder, one vote. To do this, PIs with nominee accounts (HL, Barclays, Halifax, etc.) must firstly contact their account holder and request a letter giving them power to VOTE AS AN INDIVIDUAL. Remember, the vote is by a head count of voters, irrespective of the number of votes held by the voter. if enough PIs are able to vote as an individual at this meeting they will be able to win a 50/50 contest. Your e.g. single share holder vote is as important as e.g. Fraser's, Polygon's or Jupiter's. ONE VOTE. Please make sure you vote as INDIVIDUAL at the COURT MEETING.
PLEASE NOTE: the above only relates to cityslicker1000's call to HL, PLEASE CHECK FOR YOURSELF what services other nominees offer. Please also note that given the tight deadline THIS IS URGENT and YOU NEED TO ACT IN THE NEXT DAY OR SO.
