What is a proxy and why do you need it?

A proxy vote is a vote cast by one person as a representative of an organisation, company or other person.

Are you representing an organisation or company?

A company must appoint a proxy as they need to appoint someone to vote on behalf of the company.

Are you an individual?

If you are voting for yourself you aren't required to appoint a proxy unless the creditor you are representing is a company or organisation.

Are you unable to attend the meeting?

If you are unable to attend the meeting, you can still register your vote by providing a proxy made in favour of the meeting chairperson who will vote on your behalf.
