Have you received the proxy statement regarding the meeting? [If the shareholder meeting has been adjourned: The original shareholder meeting scheduled for [original shareholder meeting date] has been adjourned until [adjourned shareholder meeting date] due to a lack of shareholder participation.]

IF NO - Then help the shareholder obtain the material he/she requires. If a NOBO, give him/her the 800# and have them call back when they receive. If registered, we will send the materials directly. In either case, make sure the address is correct, make any necessary corrections, and code the disposition as "14" or "15".

IF YES - Your Board Members are asking you to consider [#] proposal(s) which they have studied carefully and they recommend that you vote in favor of proposal(s) [#] [and against proposal(s) [#]]. For your convenience you can cast your vote by mail, internet, or touch-tone telephone if you still have your proxy card or I can record your vote over the telephone. Would you like me to record your vote over the telephone right now?

 

IF YES - Do you have any questions before we proceed?

Take time to answer all questions carefully. Do not give advice.

Most questions can be addressed by referring to the proxy statement and reading the appropriate sections (including, with respect to any shareholder proposal, the "Statement of Opposition" that follows the proposal) or by referring to the Q&A that accompanied the proxy statement.
Here is how we will proceed. The call will be recorded. I will ask you for 2 pieces of information for verification: your name and your address. Finally, I will confirm that you have received the proxy materials and take your vote. You will be mailed a letter confirming your votes, which will tell you how to make any changes, if you wish. Do you feel comfortable with this process?
