Abstract:: This is an exciting time for issuers and their agents. For the first time in almost 30 years, the SEC is taking a serious top-to-bottom look at proxy mechanics to implement changes that better reflect and support the modern marketplace. Computershare and Georgeson are supporting change that will directly benefit issuers and their investors. We're also well prepared to offer issuers the most comprehensive, cost-effective and innovative solutions in the new proxy environment. The time to act is now. The SEC is calling for formal submissions regarding the reform process no later than October 20, 2010.

Computershare and Georgeson have worked closely with the Shareholder Communications Coalition in recent years to advocate for some of the most significant reforms outlined by the SEC in the concept release. The coalition's recommendations for improvements to the system, which we fully support, are well-documented. Visit the coalition's website at http://www.shareholdercoalition.com for more information.
