"INFORMED APPROACH

 

The proxy solicitation process inherently involves engaging with and communicating via telephone to shareholders. To further ensure meaningful, constructive discussions with shareholders, particularly institutional investors, we take the time to analyse their general voting behaviours, corporate governance policies and proxy voting policies before picking up the phone to them. This way, we only call shareholders when entirely relevant and interesting to them, thereby reducing the number of calls we make and the possibility of "annoying" them."

 

 

 

Sounded as if Alex wasn't informed or prepared to engage in meaningful, constructive discussion with a shareholder.........or perhaps they see engagement as a one-way street just as those who have gave them the remit to call RIFC shareholders, most probably paid from Ibrox.

They're getting desperate it seems?

Can only be a good sign.

If the GreenCo/BPH/Easdale proxy block plus Ashley want to hire companies like this they should be paying for it themselves, otherwise it's scandalous.

Yes. Legal but utterly futile.

It surely shows how out of touch they are. I know it's looking like it's down to small margins but they surely can't imagine many small investors, probably fans, are going to be open to persuasion
