Proxy Vote
A shareholder vote cast on company matters, often without attending the meeting in person.

What it means
A proxy vote allows shareholders to vote on issues such as board elections, executive compensation, and major proposals, often by mail or online rather than in person. The company provides proxy materials explaining the matters being voted on.
Why it matters
