Hi All,
Pia informs me that we are not on tract to getting a quorum for the
paper meeting. It seems that only 4 owners have returned their proxy
papers. I note that the owner of 602 is one of the people that have not
voted.
With your permission I would like to forward a reminder letter from the
EC reminding everyone to get their proxy's in for the vote. Pia has said
that STM can distribute it.
What do you all think.
