The Legal Risk Score of a Shareholder Proxy Form Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • The proxy holder is granted discretion to vote as they see fit if no specific instructions are provided, which could lead to decisions that might not align with the shareholder's intentions.
  • The document does not specify any qualifications or restrictions regarding who can be appointed as a proxy, potentially allowing unsuitable individuals to represent a shareholder's interests.
  • There is no mention of how to handle conflicts of interest that might arise if the proxy's decisions could benefit them at the expense of the shareholder.
