Common use of Receiving Security holder Materials Clause in Contracts

Receiving Security holder Materials. For securities that you hold through your Account, you have the right to receive proxy-related materials sent by reporting issuers to registered holders of their securities in connection with meetings of such securityholders. Among other things, this permits you to receive the necessary information to allow you to have your securities voted in accordance with your instructions at a securityholder meeting. In addition, reporting issuers may choose to send other securityholder materials to beneficial owners, although they are not obliged to do so. Securities law permits you to decline to receive securityholder materials. The three types of materials that you may decline to receive are: ● proxy-related materials, including annual reports and financial statements, that are sent in connection with a securityholder meeting; ● annual reports and financial statements that are not part of proxy-related materials; and ● materials that a reporting issuer or other person or company sends to securityholders that are not required by corporate or securities law to be sent to registered securityholders. Question 2 of the Shareholder Communication Instructions section of the New Account Application Form allows you to receive all materials sent to beneficial owners of securities or to decline to receive the three types of materials referred to above. If you want to receive ALL materials that are sent to beneficial owners of securities, please mark the first box in Question 2 of the Shareholder Communication Instructions section of the New Account Application Form. If you want to DECLINE to receive the three types of materials referred to above, please mark the second box in Question 2. If you want to receive ONLY proxy-related material sent in connection with a special meeting, please mark the third box in Question 2. (Note: Even if you decline to receive the three types of materials referred to above, a reporting issuer or other person or company is entitled to deliver these materials to you, provided that the reporting issuer or other person or company pays all costs associated with the sending of these materials. These materials would be delivered to you through your intermediary if you have objected to the disclosure of your beneficial ownership information to reporting issuers.)
