All Rights Reserved. 16 2018 Proxy Guide INVESTMENT MANAGERS Many Investment Managers transmit their votes using Mediant’s Proxy Manager. Proxy Manager is a web-based application that streamlines the proxy voting process for managers with brokers who have selected Mediant as their shareholder communications partner. In Proxy Manager, the manager can view meeting details, agendas, ballots and account details, as well as generate proxy activity reports. VOTE TABULATION Mediant maintains contacts and reporting instructions with all of the major tabulators, transfer agents, Solicitors, and Broadridge. Votes are reported to the tabulator via an electronic file transmission, fax, or email with PDF report attachment. Mediant will send daily incremental vote result reports to the Master Tabulator starting 10 to 15 days before the meeting date, if requested. In other situations, we may only send a final vote report within three hours of the vote cutoff time. Mediant will always request that the tabulator confirm receipt and processing of our vote reports. With proper authorization from the issuer, Mediant will provide tabulation reports, NOBO files, share range analysis and geographic reports to your Solicitor. Authorization forms can be found at the end of this document and at mediantinc.com/insights/annual-meeting-planning/ . You may also email us at tabulations@mediantonline.com for assistance or call 1-877-763- 1289. Mediant can work with your Solicitor to process votes accepted via a telephone solicitation campaign. Additionally, we provide voted and un- voted reports and send confirmations of phone votes. Please contact us at tabulations@mediantonline.com for more information about this service and the associated fees. Phase 3: Voting and Tabulation Reporting
