Frequently Asked Questions

An irrevocable proxy is a legal document that allows a shareholder to delegate their voting rights to another person, which cannot be revoked once granted. This ensures that the designated individual can vote on behalf of the shareholder at a shareholders meeting.

This irrevocable proxy form is valid in all Canadian provinces except Quebec. It can be utilized in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan, and Yukon.

No, once an irrevocable proxy is signed and submitted, it cannot be revoked or terminated by the shareholder. This is a key feature of this type of proxy, ensuring that the voting authority remains with the designated individual.

The form includes special formatting features to assist in its completion. Shareholders should carefully fill in the required information, including the name of the proxy holder and any specific instructions regarding how the proxy should vote.

If the designated proxy holder is unable to attend the meeting, the irrevocable proxy may not be valid. It is advisable to appoint a reliable proxy who is committed to attending the meeting and representing your interests.

Typically, shareholders can appoint one proxy at a time. However, it is essential to check the specific corporate bylaws or regulations governing the company to confirm any limitations.

If you have further questions or need assistance, it is recommended to consult with a legal professional who specializes in corporate law. They can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation and ensure compliance with all legal requirements.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are shareholders but cannot attend the upcoming shareholders meeting may utilize this irrevocable proxy to ensure their voting rights are exercised. By designating another person to vote on their behalf, they can still influence corporate decisions without being physically present.
  • Situations requiring a shareholder to delegate their voting power to a trusted associate can benefit from this form. This is particularly useful for those who are traveling or have scheduling conflicts that prevent them from participating in the meeting.
  • To comply with corporate bylaws that require a certain quorum for decisions, shareholders may use this irrevocable proxy to ensure their votes are counted. This form guarantees that their preferences are represented, even in their absence.
  • For those involved in corporate restructuring or mergers, using an irrevocable proxy can streamline the voting process. Shareholders can ensure that their interests are represented during critical votes that may affect the future of the company.
  • In cases where a shareholder wishes to maintain influence over corporate governance while being unable to attend meetings, this proxy form provides a solution. It allows them to appoint a representative who will act in their best interests.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate if the shareholder intends to retain the ability to change their voting decision at any time. Since an irrevocable proxy cannot be revoked, it is unsuitable for situations where flexibility is required.
  • – If the shareholder is able to attend the meeting in person, using this proxy form would be unnecessary. Shareholders should exercise their voting rights directly whenever possible to ensure their preferences are accurately represented.
  • – In cases where the shareholder has concerns about the proxy holder's ability to represent their interests, it is advisable to reconsider using this form. Trust and confidence in the proxy holder are crucial for effective representation.
  • – This form should not be used in jurisdictions where it is not recognized or where specific legal requirements differ significantly. Always verify the legal standing of proxy forms in the relevant province or territory before use.
  • – If the shareholder is unsure about the implications of granting an irrevocable proxy, they should seek legal advice before proceeding. Misunderstanding the terms and conditions could lead to unintended consequences.
