Explanatory Notes
As a member of the Charity you are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at a general meeting of the Charity. You can only appoint a proxy using the procedures set out in these notes.
Appointment of a proxy does not preclude you from attending the meeting and voting. If you have appointed a proxy and attend the meeting in person, your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated.
A proxy does not need to be a member of the Charity but must attend the meeting to represent you. If you sign and return this proxy notice with no name inserted, the chair of the meeting will be deemed to be your proxy. Where you appoint as your proxy someone other than the chair, you are responsible for ensuring that they attend the meeting and are aware of your voting intentions. If you wish your proxy to make any comments on your behalf, you will need to appoint someone other than the chair and give them the relevant instructions directly.
To direct your proxy how to vote on the resolutions, select the appropriate voting option on this online form.
If no voting indication is given, your proxy will vote or abstain from voting at their discretion. Your proxy may vote (or abstain from voting) as they think fit in relation to the limited range of additional resolutions which may be put before the meeting.
These include for example:
- resolutions to deal with procedural aspects of the meeting such as the calling of a poll or a decision to adjourn;
- resolutions proposing amendments to the resolutions listed in the notice of the meeting, but note, the circumstances in which amendments can be made are very limited.
To appoint a proxy using this notice an online copy of this notice must be completed and submitted by you no later than 12.30pm Friday 29 May 2020.
Any power of attorney or any other authority under which this proxy notice is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be sent to su.elections@uwl.ac.uk no later than 12.30pm Friday 29 May 2020.
If you wish to change your instructions, you can submit another notice via the online form. The appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.
To revoke your proxy instructions, send notice to su.elections@uwl.ac.uk clearly stating that the instructions are revoked and ensure that the notice is received by the Charity no later than 12.30pm Friday 29 May 2020.
Communications relating to proxies in respect of the meeting may only be sent to su.elections@uwl.ac.uk. No other forms of communication will be accepted by the Charity.
