Trading volume, management solicitation, and shareholder voting

Article Abstract:

The volume of stockholder voting is shown to be related to timing of issuance of proxy materials and the stock trading volume after the record date and before the meeting date. The voting turnout can be affected by management decisions concerning interval between record and meeting dates and timing of solicitation activities. A negative relationship was found between trading volume in the pre-receipt period for proxy materials and the percentage of shares outstanding voted.
