A proxy is a form signed by a stockholder giving someone else the legal authority to vote the shareholders' stock at a corporation's stockholders' meeting. A proxy solicitation is a request by management for a signed proxy for an authorized vote of anyone unable to attend the annual meeting to encourage a voting quorum at the stockholders' meeting. A proxy statement is important because it accompanies the solicitation for a stockholder's vote and includes information regarding all matters that are to be voted upon at the stockholders' meeting.
