I think we are missing Tompy's point here.

I doubt that he is concerned about the safety of his shares, but if I was in his shoes I would be very concerned about being unable to vote on significant issues concerning a company I was invested in.

As we know, from the recent dicussions on travel etc., St. Elias has invested some serious coin in educating international investment. The question that springs to mind, " How many Tompy's are out there unknowingly giving management the proxy to vote on their behalf ?"

Unfortunately, I do not have the savvy to help on this issue, but I think our responses so far indicate I'm not alone. If there are any UK or other international investors who can offer an explanation to this response from Tompy's broker I'm sure he (and I ) would be appreciative.

"Unfortunately, with this particular foreign stock proxy voting is not available to us and they are unable to accept the voting instructions that we submitted on your behalf."
