Proxy - A Proxy is a written authorization executed by a shareholder which empowers a person specified in the proxy to cast the shareholder's votes on specified issues at a specified shareholders' meeting. All shareholders enjoy the right to vote in person or by proxy.

There are two types of proxies: Revocable Proxy and Irrevocable Proxy.


Revocable Proxy: A Revocable Proxy is a proxy which can be changed or recast by the shareholder after the proxy vote has been cast.
Irrevocable Proxy: An Irrevocable Proxy is a proxy which cannot be changed or recast by the shareholder after the proxy vote has been cast.
