As the SEC’s E-Proxy becomes effective this summer, many are wondering what the real impact this new initiative will have on their next proxy season. The answer is “a lot more than they might realize,” as voting patterns and solicitation strategies may change and being prepared for third-party solicitations should now be the order of the day. Often forgotten is that E-Proxy also may force companies to make their proxy materials more “usable” on the Web. Join these experts:

• Thomas Ball, Senior Managing Director, Morrow & Co.
• Joe Frumkin, Partner, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP
• Carl Hagberg, Independent Inspector of Elections and Editor of The Shareholder Service Optimizer
• Dominic Jones, Editor, IR Web Report
• Alan Singer, Partner, Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP
• Sid Rodrigue, Vice President, Broadridge (formerly known as ADP)

Among the topics to be discussed are:

• What does voluntary E-Proxy involve? Will voting patterns change?
• What should be considered in determining whether to forego paper next proxy season?
• How third-parties might use E-Proxy to wage proxy campaigns?
• What are the latest drafting tips to design “usable” proxy materials for the Web?
• How should your proxy solicitation and IR strategies change in the wake of E-Proxy?
• What will mandatory E-Proxy look like?
