The postal voting form allows a vote on each of the resolutions, in the order in which they are presented at the meeting; it offers the shareholder the possibility of expressing on each resolution a vote in favour or against its adoption or his wish to abstain from voting.
It informs the shareholder in a very conspicuous manner that any abstention expressed in the form or resulting from the absence of any indication of a vote will not be considered as a vote cast.
The form may, where appropriate, appear on the same document as the proxy form; in this case Article R. 225-78 is applicable.
The form includes a reminder of the provisions of the second paragraph of article R. 225-77 and an indication of the date before which, in accordance with the Articles of Association, it is received by the company in order to be taken into account; where it has been agreed between the company and the intermediaries authorised by it that the latter will no longer agree to transmit to the company voting forms received by them after a date prior to that set by the company, this date is mentioned.
Appended to the form are:
1° The text of the proposed resolutions accompanied by an explanatory statement and an indication of their author;
2° A request to send the documents and information mentioned in Article R. 225-83 and informing the shareholder that he may request to benefit from the provisions of the third paragraph of Article R. 225-88 ;
3° In the case of the ordinary general meeting provided for in Article L. 225-100, the statement and documents provided for in Article R. 225-81.
