No Voting Trusts Shareholder agrees that Shareholder will not, nor will Shareholder permit any entity under Shareholder's control to, deposit any Shares in a voting trust or subject the Shares to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the voting of the Shares inconsistent with this Agreement.
Voting of Trust Shares With respect to any matter put to vote by the holders of Trust shares ("Voting Shares"), the Company will provide "pass-through" voting privileges to owners of Contracts registered with the SEC as long as the 1940 Act requires such privileges in such cases. In cases in which "pass-through" privileges apply, the Company will (i) solicit voting instructions from Contract Owners of SEC-registered Contracts; (ii) vote Voting Shares attributable to Contract Owners in accordance with instructions or proxies timely received from such Contract Owners; and (iii) vote Voting Shares held by it that are not attributable to reserves for SEC-registered Contracts or for which it has not received timely voting instructions in the same proportion as instructions received in a timely fashion from Owners of SEC-registered Contracts. The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that it calculates "pass-through" votes for the Account in a manner consistent with the provisions set forth above and with other Participating Insurance Companies. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates will in any way recommend action in connection with, or oppose or interfere with, the solicitation of proxies for the Trust shares held for such Contract Owners, except with respect to matters as to which the Company has the right under Rule 6e-2 or 6e-3(T) under the 1940 Act, to vote Voting Shares without regard to voting instructions from Contract Owners.
Antitrust Approval The Company and the Purchaser acknowledge that one or more filings under the HSR Act or foreign antitrust laws may be necessary in connection with the issuance of shares of Company Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes. The Purchaser will promptly notify the Company if any such filing is required on the part of the Purchaser. To the extent reasonably requested, the Company, the Purchaser and any other applicable Affiliate of the Purchaser will use reasonable efforts to cooperate in timely making or causing to be made all applications and filings under the HSR Act or any foreign antitrust requirements in connection with the issuance of shares of Company Common Stock upon conversion of Notes held by the Purchaser or any Affiliate of the Purchaser in a timely manner and as required by the law of the applicable jurisdiction; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not have any responsibility or liability for failure of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to comply with any applicable law. For as long as there are Notes outstanding and owned by Purchaser or its Affiliates, the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable provide (no more than four (4) times per calendar year) such information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as the Purchaser may reasonably request in order to determine what foreign antitrust requirements may exist with respect to any potential conversion of the Notes. The Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of the filing fees associated with any such applications or filings.
Stockholder Vote In connection with any vote of the holders of the Company’s common stock issued in the Initial Public Offering (such stockholders, the “Public Stockholders”) regarding a Business Combination, the Company shall provide to the Trustee an affidavit or certificate of a firm regularly engaged in the business of soliciting proxies and tabulating stockholder votes verifying the vote of the Public Stockholders regarding such Business Combination.
Approval of Shareholders The Trust will call a special meeting of the Acquired Fund Shareholders to consider and act upon this Agreement and to take all other appropriate action necessary to obtain approval of the transactions contemplated herein.
Proxy Voting The Adviser will vote, or make arrangements to have voted, all proxies solicited by or with respect to the issuers of securities in which assets of a Fund may be invested from time to time.
