I strongly oppose the suggested change to eliminate the requirement for annual meetings. The key to well functioning capital markets is transparency. 


The proposed rule is going in the wrong direction and hurts the public by taking away vital information required for decision making. 


If you eliminate the requirement for closed end mutual funds what is the argument for requiring companies to have annual meetings. Maybe that is next? 


Please consider the public good. 


Thanks for your consideration.
