RE: The bottom line..31 Oct 2020 07:39
Ruck, From the RNS: "The deadline for submission of completed Forms of Proxy to the Company's Registrars, SLC Registrars, and receipt of electronic proxy appointments via the CREST system has been extended to 10:00 a.m. on 3 November 2020."
IDK which platform you are on because I don't keep those kind of notes. Here is what I have gleaned about proxy voting
a. Barclays: usually 10 days, but did it through online chat as the cut off date is soon.
b. Bestinvest [smpunter - don't know yet]
c. Fidelity: allow email notifications
d. Hargreaves Lansdown: phone call
e. Halifax: share dealing: allow voting through chat or a phone call.
f. IG postal forms only, no information available on where to find forms, format. There never was enough time to get the info, mail in and expect them to act.
g. Interactive: Phone call, but need 4 days notice - may already be past the deadline to vote]
h. XO: £20 to submit proxy voting.
I have not included some of the other platforms I'm researching because I haven't seen anyone mention them.
