Proxy Vote Tracking Agent

A daily view of proposal outcomes, risks and a prioritized outreach plan until the meeting

Proxy Vote Tracking Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

In the weeks before an annual meeting, IR and the corporate secretary check vote tallies from the proxy solicitor, compare them with what each proposal needs to pass and worry about large holders voting against management. It is done in spreadsheets and phone calls. This agent loads the daily vote report, calculates the share of shares voted and the support for each proposal against the threshold, and checks which large holders have voted and how. It flags holders with big stakes voting against management or not yet voting, and drafts outreach options that suit each holder, such as a call or a letter that restates the board's position. It reruns each day as votes arrive and adjusts the plan. The IR head and corporate secretary approve any contact. Edge case: broker non-votes are excluded from the quorum calculation.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It ranks outreach by holder size and how much their vote could change the result relative to the pass margin, and it updates every day.

  • Treat a margin under 10 points as at risk
  • Flag any holder over 1% voting against management
  • Exclude broker non-votes from the quorum figure
  • Contact only holders on the approved list

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Holder size that triggers a flag (default 1%)
  • Margin treated as at risk (default 10 points)
  • Daily report time
  • Proposal list

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Any contact with a shareholder

Hard limits

  • Never contacts a holder itself
  • Never discloses vote results outside the team
  • Keeps a record of all outreach

It stops when

  • Done: meeting votes are final
  • Stop: solicitor reports are unavailable

An example run

What happensTen days before the meeting, the say-on-pay proposal stood at 61% support against a 50% threshold, but two holders with 2.4% and 1.8% had not voted. The agent flagged them, and the check on safe margins failed because the advisor recommended against. It drafted call options. The IR head approved two calls. By day eight support rose to 68%.
