Course Materials

High levels of "withheld" votes against directors. Lots of majority votes on shareholder proposals. More proxy fights than ever before. The 2006 proxy season campaign was pretty wild - and the outlook for next year is "more of the same." This webcast will recap what transpired during the 2006 proxy season and predict what to expect next year as well as offer strategies from the proxy season expert. Join:

• Pat McGurn, Executive Vice President and Special Counsel, Institutional Shareholder Services

Among the topics of this program are:

• What will be the hot topics for investors in 2007? What will be the influence of the majority vote movement?
• What changes in governance policies should companies now consider as broker votes will be gone in 2008?
• What solicitation strategies should you consider to get your directors elected without significant withheld voting against them?
• What new positions will be taken by ISS in their upcoming 2007 voting guidelines?
