C7, as someone else has pointed out, proxy voting usually needs to go through your platform.
The AGM links says:
"As explained under the heading “IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING COVID-19 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING ARRANGEMENTS”
above, Shareholders should appoint the ‘Chairman of the meeting’ as their proxy. "
para 5: "n. If no voting indication is given, your proxy will vote or abstain from voting at his or her discretion. Your proxy will
vote (or abstain from voting) as he or she thinks fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the Annual General
Meeting."
CREST holders : In order for a proxy appointment made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a “CREST Proxy Instruction”) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited’s (EUI) specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message must be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent, SLC Registrars (ID 7RA01), not later than 2:00pm. on 13 November 2020.
We have a little bit of time to get that sorted.
My key concern issue is that my money is still sitting in my account, and the deadline for OO applications is in 3 minutes (I wrote to the platform earlier).
