Practical Information
Note: Some of this information was last updated in 1982
An authorization to vote at a meeting in place of an absent stockholder. The term is also applied to the person or persons holding the authority. Although the statutory provisions concerning voting by proxy vary throughout the states, the usual provisions are (1) that the proxy will be in writing; (2) that the person giving it can revoke it at any time; (3) that it will expire after a certain number of months or years from its date unless the stockholder executing the proxy indicates the length of time it is to continue in force; and (4) that the term of the proxy will be limited to a definite period.
As a meeting generally cannot be held unless a quorum (in U.S. law) (a certain portion) of stock is represented, it is usually necessary to get proxies when the stockholders are widely scattered. The Securities and Exchange Commission regulates the solicitation of proxies in respect to registered securities. A proxy need not be in any particular form, as long as it meets statutory requirements and requirements of the SEC. It need not be witnessed, but a witness can prove the authenticity of the signature.
