Course Materials

Under the SEC’s new E-Proxy framework, creating more effective – and more “usable” – annual reports and other proxy materials for the Web are more important than ever before. However, many companies continue to make the same mistakes with their online documents and put themselves at a disadvantage when soliciting votes, particularly if a third-party mounts a counter-solicitation or a “just vote no” campaign. Join these experts:

• Patrick Heick, Associate Partner, VSA Partners, Inc.
• Dominic Jones, Editor, IR Web Report
• Ryan Lejbak, CEO, zu.com communications
• Thomas Rosenmayr, Managing Director, GeBer Geschäftsberichte

Among the topics of this program are:

• Why is it important to consider "usability" when drafting proxy materials?
• What are the latest drafting tips to design "usable" proxy materials for the Web?
• What "take-aways" can be derived from those companies that are the leaders in this area?
• How should your proxy solicitation and IR strategies change in the wake of E-Proxy?
• What are some of the problems with early "notice-and-access" campaigns?
