Good afternoon,
I understand from KCC that some shareholders have been critical of efforts by certain brokers to accept ballots by fax rather than mail (or by fax initially confirmed later by mail). This has caused at least one broker to stop accepting fax ballots. It is the EC's view that this anti-fax campaign is counter-productive because it is eliminating one of the measures that the brokers are implementing to make the vote work more quickly and smoothly for shareholders. I would not expect Judge Walrath to react favorably if shareholders are objecting to the deadlines while at the same time interfering with expedited methods of returning and counting ballots.
If you could let other shareholders know that the fax voting method is legitimate and that, from the EC's view, objecting to it is counterproductive, I would appreciate it.
