The Form of Proxy For Shareholder Meeting is a crucial document in Swiss corporate governance that facilitates shareholder participation in company decision-making processes. It is used when shareholders cannot or choose not to attend general meetings in person, enabling them to exercise their voting rights through an authorized representative. The document must comply with Articles 689-689e of the Swiss Code of Obligations and, for listed companies, the requirements of the Ordinance against Excessive Compensation. It typically includes shareholder identification, meeting details, voting instructions for each agenda item, and necessary declarations. This proxy form is particularly important in Switzerland's robust corporate governance framework, which emphasizes shareholder rights and transparent decision-making processes.
