Submission of PROXY VOTING FORMS
FHBC has posted TWO forms associated with voting via Proxy at the 2023 FHBC Special (Extraordinary) General Meeting :
- The first form is a PROXY FORM LIST that a proxy holder is responsible for completion and submission to FHBC by the deadline of May 11, 2023.
- The second form is a PROXY VERIFICATION FORM/SUBMISSION that requires a member signature confirming the identity of the proxy holder who will carry their vote at the 2023 FHBC Special (Extraordinary) General Meeting.
The Proxy Holder is responsible for the SINGLE (all at one time) SUBMISSION of BOTH the PROXY FORM LIST and the SIGNED PROXY VERIFICATION(S) to FHBC by the deadline date of May 11, 2023.
For SIGNED PROXY VERIFICATION(S), members can utilize the posted PROXY VERIFICATION FORM and return this to the Proxy Holder, OR members may submit the following standardized information to the Proxy Holder by other means (for example as a photo file):
- Title: 2023 FHBC Special (Extraordinary) General Meeting
