GLOBAL PROXY SOLICITATION

The success of a solicitation campaign relies heavily on the implementation of an effective strategy, which is agreed upon by the client and the proxy solicitor. Alpha Advisory Associates' objective is to secure the highest voting response level possible. We will manage the distribution of shareholder materials to all interested parties, but first review our client's shareholder materials and offer suggestions, where appropriate. Alpha Advisory Associates will act as our clients' representative to contact all key owners to confirm receipt of materials, and answer any questions about the items to be voted upon. Through our network of contacts, we will ensure that the institutional vote is delivered. We will also provide early warning of any unanticipated opposition that needs to be addressed by our clients.
