Voting of Company Stock Sample Clauses
The "Voting of Company Stock" clause defines how voting rights attached to shares of company stock are exercised. Typically, this clause specifies who is entitled to vote the shares, such as shareholders of record or designated representatives, and may outline procedures for casting votes at shareholder meetings or by proxy. Its core function is to ensure clarity and consistency in the decision-making process of the company by establishing clear rules for how stockholder votes are conducted and counted.

All voting rights on shares of Company Stock held in the Company Stock Fund shall be exercised by the Trustee only as directed by the Participants acting in their capacity as "Named Fiduciaries" (as defined in Section 402 of ERISA) in accordance with the following provisions of this Paragraph 4:
(i) As soon as practicable before each annual or special shareholders' meeting of the Company, the Trustee shall furnish to each Participant sufficient copies of the proxy solicitation material sent generally to shareholders, together with a form requesting confidential instructions on how the shares of Company Stock allocated to such Participant's account, and, separately, such shares of Company Stock as may be unallocated ("Unallocated Shares") or allocated to Participant accounts but for which the Trustee does not receive timely voting instruction from the Participant ("Non-Directed Shares"), (including fractional shares to 1/1000th of a share) are to be voted.
