How European Shareholders Can Vote Their Plug Power Shares
By: Andy Marsh, Plug CEO and Executive Chairman
First, we recognize that it has been challenging for European shareholders to vote. The effort so many of you have made to vote is astonishing – thank you.
The challenge is that some European shareholders experience additional steps when voting their shares due to differences in brokerage services outside the United States. While the process may take longer, European shareholders can successfully participate in shareholder votes by following the steps below.
This is very important: If your broker does not automatically provide proxy voting materials or a control number, you can still vote by working directly with the Company’s proxy solicitor, but you will need confirmation of your share ownership from your broker.
If you need help in voting – our proxy solicitor and our Investor Relations head are more than happy to help. The proxy solicitor information is Sodali & Co, at (833) 924-7453 or Plug@investor.sodali.com or reach out to Roberto Friedlander at rfriedlander@plugpower.com.
One last item – here was a tip from one European Shareholder who posted on Reddit.
If your broker does not automatically provide proxy voting materials or a control number, you can still vote by working directly with the Company’s proxy solicitor but you will need confirmation of your share ownership from your broker.
Step-by-Step Guide for European Shareholders
1. Check Your Brokerage Account First
Review your brokerage inbox or corporate actions section to see whether:
| · | You received a proxy voting email or notice; or |
| · | A control number was provided. |
Some non-U.S. brokers do not automatically distribute proxy materials.
2. Contact Your Broker if No Control Number Is Provided
If nothing is available:
| · | Email or message your broker asking whether they can provide: |
| · | A control number; or |
| · | Written confirmation of your Plug Power share ownership as of the record date. |
Note: Some international brokers may respond that they do not offer proxy voting services. This is common and does not mean you cannot vote.
3. Contact the Company’s Proxy Solicitor
If your broker cannot assist directly, contact the Company’s proxy solicitor – Sodali & Co, at (833) 924-7453 or Plug@investor.sodali.com and explain:
| · | Your broker does not provide a control number; and |
| · | You are a foreign shareholder seeking to vote. |
The proxy solicitor can advise on alternative voting methods available to you.
4. Obtain Share Ownership Confirmation from Your Broker
The proxy solicitor may ask for written confirmation from your broker showing:
| · | Your name; |
| · | Number of shares held; and |
| · | That you owned the shares as of the record date |
This confirmation is typically sufficient in lieu of a control number.
5. Submit the Documentation to the Proxy Solicitor
Once you receive:
| · | The proxy card (if provided), and |
| · | Your broker’s written ownership confirmation. |
Send both to the proxy solicitor by email, following their instructions.
6. Await Confirmation
After submission:
| · | The proxy solicitor will confirm whether your vote has been successfully recorded |
| · | No further action is typically required unless they contact you for clarification |
Timing Expectations
Because this process involves multiple parties (your broker and the proxy solicitor), international voting may take several days. We encourage European shareholders to begin early to ensure sufficient time before the voting deadline.
We Appreciate Our Global Shareholders
Thanks for all the effort. We are really close – you can be the one who puts us over the top😊
