5 Mistakes Made With Preliminary Proxy Statements

A preliminary proxy statement is a draft of the proxy that is filed with the SEC – in certain specified circumstances as required by a SEC rule – before the final – known as the “definitive” – version is filed. The five mistakes include:

  • Forgetting Corp Fin may delay a proxy for weeks
  • Filing a revised preliminary for immaterial changes
  • Filing for shareholder proposals
  • Leaving too much blank
  • Forgetting to file a proxy card
