Shareholder's Proxy for Particular Meeting
(CA Corporation)

Summary

This template Shareholder's Proxy for Particular Meeting (CA Corporation) can be used by a shareholder of a California corporation to appoint a proxy for an annual or special meeting of shareholders. This template includes practical guidance, drafting notes, and alternate clauses. Every person entitled to vote shares may authorize another person or persons to act by proxy with respect to such shares. Proxies are not valid after 11 months from the date of issuance unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Proxies remain in full force and effect until revoked by the person executing it. A proxy will not be revoked by the death or incapacity of the maker unless, before the vote is counted, written notice of such death or incapacity is received by the corporation. See Cal. Corp. Code § 705. This template only provides a proxy for a specified shareholders' meeting. The corporation can distribute the proxy template to shareholders for use at a particular meeting, allowing each shareholder to appoint a proxy to attend the meeting in place of the shareholder and vote his or her shares.
