Voting ballot

The document by which a holder expresses his will on each item of the agenda: for, against or abstaining.

How to read the number

A vote against certain items is not merely recorded — it creates the right to demand a buyback, which is why the box is ticked deliberately.

When the metric lies

Not voting and abstaining differ in their consequences, and the deadline for submitting a ballot falls before the day of the meeting itself.
