## Definition

A form by which a stockholder of a corporation designates a proxy to attend the stockholders' meeting. The right of a shareholder to send out a proxy is required by law in most countries and cannot be excluded by contrary provisions in the company's Articles of Association (a written or electronic authorization used by a shareholder to empower someone else to vote on their behalf at a shareholders meeting. In most countries corporations are legally obliged to send out proxies to all shareholders). - See shareholder, passive.
