🚨MUST WATCH CARL HAGBERG AMA🚨

Artwork by absolute legend u/Bye_Triangle

The focus of the sub from now until June 9 is going to be VOTING

We don't make claims about catalysts around here. So I'm definitely NOT telling you that this could be the catalyst.

But the importance of exercising your right to vote cannot be understated. THIS IS OUR ONE SHOT TO PROVE TO THE SEC AND EVERYONE ELSE WHAT IS HAPPENING. GAMESTOP NEEDS OUR HELP!!

Fidelity users, TDA, WeBull, Vanguard, Schwab, and more all reported being able to get their hands on their control number and vote as of yesterday. Feel free to drop a comment below if you have already voted and want to show that off!! WE ARE GIVING AWAY VOTED STICKERS (FLAIRS) TO EVERYONE THAT HAS VOTED!! 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

Be sure to check your inbox and contact your broker if you have any questions. And also be sure that if you have multiple brokerages accounts, you will need to get a different control number for each one. So if you carry shares in 3 different brokerage accounts (I do, cuz I don't trust a bitch) then you will have 3 different control numbers and will be voting 3 different times.

Steps to Voting:

1. HAVE YOUR CONTROL NUMBER

Obtained from your broker, not to be shared with anyone. This number should be confidential.

2. INPUT THAT CONTROL NUMBER THROUGH OFFICIAL CHANNELS ONLY (THROUGH THE GAMESTOP CORPORATE SITE OR LINKS FROM YOUR BROKER).

Do not input your control number unless you are 100% sure that the site is legit.

3. UNDERSTAND WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE VOTING FOR.

Take a moment to see what the board recommends you vote for if you are unsure. This community can not tell you how to vote, only you can decide that.

4. SUBMIT YOUR BALLOT.

5. SHARE WITH EVERYONE HOW PROUD YOU ARE TO HAVE VOTED.

Gamestop's Board of Directors is urging everyone to vote as soon as possible.

_________________________________________________________________________________

🐈 BUT PINK, WHAT IF I HAVEN'T GOTTEN MY CONTROL NUMBER YET?! 🦧

Well, did you...

• Check your broker inbox for proxy info✔
• Check your email✔
• Send a message via your broker help/chat interface✔
• Call your broker and request your control number✔
• Look around

The Tweet Heard Round the World

Mission Control to Major Gamestop. Do you read me? HODL.

So Gamestop decided to be cryptic af while also jacking all of the tits yesterday when they tweeted this pic with the caption "Been away for the past few months. What did I miss?"

UM EXCUSE ME I HAVE SEVERAL QUESTIONS!! 🙋‍♀️

Let's look at the pic a little closer shall we? 🧐

Some people have pointed out that this is an old original Carlsberg Beer advertisement. And that is true.

As you can see, the astronaut is both holding the Carlsberg beer in their hand, and resting their feet on a Carlsberg cooler.

But let's think about whether this was intentional... ok. They didn't edit out the original Carlsberg, yet they edited in the GS on the sleeve? So it is edited, which logically tells me they left the Carlsberg there for a reason....

AND TODAY IS THE CARL HAGBERG AMA.....

🚨GAMESTOP KNOWS ALL ABOUT CARL HAGBERG, HE IS THE EXPERT THEY CALL AND HIRE TO OFFICIALLY EXAMINE THE VOTES IF THEY'RE FUCKY. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?! GME CORPORATE ALREADY KNOWS CARL WAY BEFORE THIS AMA!!!!!🚨

From Carl Hagberg's bio:

["He is also considered to be a leading expert on the proxy votin

Scroll to the bottom of their site, click on corporate, then Investor relations. The voting site listed is the correct site. DO NOT USE ANY OTHERS. I don't know if others are legit or not, but I looked it up on GME website. I won't use the others.

Sorry, here's the link form GameStop website: www.proxydocs.com/GME

EDIT: Honestly, I don't know for sure that these other sites are not legit, but it makes zero sense to this smooth brained ape, that there would be multiple sites for voting. Anyone smarter than me or who has more knowledge, please, speak up. You won't hurt my feelings by setting it straight.

There are so many posts about the missing 1M volume that I am becoming suspicious that it is being used to distract from some amazing info we received yesterday. If you want to really get your tits jacked, go read the new DD from u/WardenElite or read some of the testimonies for tomorrow's congressional hearings.

I know some apes don't like to hear it, but we need to use Occam's razor sometimes. The wild theories about the missing 1M shares confirming that Citadel has been margin called just make it seem like all the great information uncovered in this sub is just as speculative.

There is so much reason to be hyped right now. Let's make sure fellow apes see the best information to confirm our bias. There are too many damn negative 1M volume posts.

Tits jacked and ready to moon 🚀🚀🚀

Edit #1:

I forgot to add that the S&P upgraded GME's credit rating from B- to B yesterday 🚀🚀🚀

First off, huge shout out to u/TheeHumanMeat for finding the article Dr. Trimbath mentioned using The Way Back Machine. Find his post here :

https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/n1hjb3/i_spent_3_hours_searching_for_the_bob_drummond/

Now, if you are anything like me, you loaded that pdf and your eyes started to glaze over. I forced myself to read it in its entirety and am here to give you the ELIA because it really... really... matters.

"One share does not always equal one vote in the crazy math of proxy contests. When short sellers borrow stock, investor democracy can be a sham."

Did your alarm just go off? Are we FUK? No, we got this but you need to keep reading.

"In a little-known quirk of Wall Street bookkeeping, when brokerages loan out a customer’s stock to short sellers and those traders sell the stock to someone else, both investors are often able to vote in corporate elections."

I was under the ape assumption that shorters can not vote directly with the borrowed shares and this is technically true but when they sell the shares to a new broker, that broker now magically has shares that CAN VOTE.

"In close contests with little room for error, the results of high-stakes company decisions may hinge on the invisible influence of millions of votes that shouldn’t be counted"

Now, while GameStop is not voting on a radical decision like a merger or sale, we are electing Ryan Cohen as Chairman as well as electing/confirming other board members.

Jane Goodall over here cutting right to the heart of the matter. Brokerages are neutral parties looking out for #1. Why rock the boat when the passengers are sleeping?

The article gives some great historical examples of when and how this matters. Here are just a few. Its also important to note they do not need to be extreme discrepancies. With growing scrutiny on synthetic shares being used in proxy voting, economic terrorists only need to identify the sliver of winning margin required to push companies down the path they choose.

HOLY SHIT!

Dear Apes,

I decided to do some homework today. I know some of this is not new information but I contacted my broker and started asking questions. This was the part I found shocking...(I'm removing the reps name so not to get them in trouble) and that I had no idea that I couldn't call back my shares or even have a vote in the proxies ....

14:58 TD: *I can remove your margin for you. That would allow you to have the ability to vote in the proxies.*

14:58 Anonymous: I still would like to know the answer about switching over from margin to cash and if that would cause my shares to be recalled, if they are lent out short

14:59 TD: It will

14:59 Anonymous: wait are you saying I wouldn't have been able to vote in the proxies if I stayed on margin?

14:59 TD: *And you would then have the ability to vote the proxy.*

14:59 Anonymous: Wait wait go back, are you saying that if I stayed on margin, would I not been able to vote in the upcoming proxies?

15:00 TD: *If you stayed on margin you would not. Correct.*

15:01 Anonymous: interesting. so you are saying all those people who are on margin accounts, they don't actually get to vote in the annual meetings?

15:01 TD: They would not have a vote if they were on a margin account.

Breakdown:

If you are on margin, not only are your shares able to be lent without your consent (Basically, you gave them consent when you signed up for margin) BUT that you can't recall your shares for the Annual meeting, nor will you have the right to vote in the proxies. Also, people have been asking, I have a zero margin balance and extra cash sitting in the account and this was still the conversation.

I knew about the lending of shares but I didn't realize you can't even vote or recall your shares on margin. I'm sure most of you all didn't realize that part either. I know some of you are annoyed I hadn't switched but I have a feeling I'm not the only one. I know there was DD that told everyone to switch to cash, but I know I didn't. I doubt that I'm the only Ape who didn't switch over to cash either because I thought I wouldn't be able to trade options. Well guess what, I confirmed with th

We understand that there have been a lot of questions about proxy voting for the upcoming GME annual shareholder meetings. Here’s some information that can help with your questions.

The record date for the shareholding meeting is on April 15, 2021. This means that you must be a shareholder on this date. Keep in mind that the last day to buy shares and be registered as an owner on that record date was April 13, 2021.

While the record date is April 15, 2021 voting materials may not be displayed for several weeks. If you do not see the ability to vote right away and you are an owner of these shares, please do not worry. Once more information is provided by the issuer you will receive communication about the voting process.

UPDATE 4/26: As of now, we do not have an exact date for when voting will be available on Fidelity.com or when control numbers will be available. This process normally takes three weeks from the record date. Once available, you will receive an email stating that you are able to vote. When we are made aware of a specific date, we will update this post

Update 4/27: Publicly traded companies like Gamestop Corp (GME) are obligated to make shareholder documents available to everyone who was a shareholder as of the record date, in this case 4/15/21. Many companies use firms like Broadridge Financial Solutions to manage shareholder communications and proxy voting materials. GME has selected Broadridge to distribute the proxy voting materials for the upcoming shareholder meeting on June 9th. They also handle the distribution of all these documents to shareholders, which includes email, US mail, and the ability to vote online. This is standard procedure for each publicly traded company. The normal timeframe for notification is generally three weeks after the record date. You can vote until 11:59pm ET on June 8th, 2021 the day before the shareholder meeting.

UPDATE 5/5: Fidelity customers who have selected electronic delivery as a communication preference should have now received an email from Fidelity with instructions on how to vote. By clicking the “Vote Now” button found in the email, customers will be taken directly to www.proxyvote.com and will be able vote in the annual GME shareholders meeting. Customers who received the email are also able to vote now through Fidelity.com by following the instructions below. For Fidelity customers that have selecte

Endlich hat es bei Comdirect geplant.

Ich bekomme meine Proxy Control Number per Post zugeschickt für meine Aktien an der NYSE.

Bezüglich der Aktien die ich über Tradegate gekauft habe kann ich eine Weisung ausfüllen und COmdirect wird dies dann weiter geben!

Nach Wochenlangem Warten und dutzenden Telefonaten und Emails hat es endlich geklappt!

Ursprünglich wollte ich nicht an der Wahl teilnehmen, mittlerweile geht es aber aus meiner Sicht nicht nur um meine persönlichen Aktionärsrechte, sondern vielmehr um die zukünftige Gestaltung des Marktes mit neuen Regularien und Gesetzen. Die Marktentwicklung schritt sehr schnell voran und die bislang eher weniger in Anspruch genommenen Aktionärsrechte im Ausland poppen auf. Welche Schwierigkeiten die Broker damit haben, zeigen die Reaktionen auf die Anfragen.

Es geht mir nun also ums Prinzip, damit die Broker das Thema aufnehmen und es zukünftig einfacher anbieten können. Denn, was die Aktionärsrechte und Voting-Ansprüche der Aktionäre angeht, werden auf Gamestop weitere internationale Aktien folgen. Die Broker, die diese Aktien anbieten, müssen etwas tun, aus meiner Sicht. Wahrscheinlich sind die Broker noch gar nicht so tief in dem Thema, weil Gamestop überwiegend schlecht dargestellt wird.

Auch wenn es vielleicht mit dem ein oder anderen Broker so kurzfristig für Gamestop nicht mehr klappt, so können wir dennoch einen Beitrag für die Marktentwicklung leisten. Aus diesem Grund habe ich eine Email mit folgendem Inhalt an meinen Broker geschickt. Ich teile ihn zur Anregung, die Broker zu motivieren, das Thema aufzunehmen. Mehr kann ich nicht tun und bin gespannt, wie sich das alles entwickelt.

Edit: Quelle für die schematische Darstellung in der Email Das Aktionärsrecht und seine Schranken Das Dokument behandelt die Themen der Aktionärsrechte im EU-Ausland. Stand: 2012. Auf dem gleichen Stand könnten wir heute mit dem Drittland-Ausland stehen.

Antrag auf Proxy-Material zur Gamestop Aktie

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

ich habe am 30.04.2021 per E-Mail einen Antrag auf Zustellung der Proxy-Unterlagen für die GameStop Aktie gestellt.

Am 07.05.2021 habe ich per Telefon angefragt, ob der Antrag in Bearbeitung ist, da ich bis dato noch keine Antwort erhalten hatte.

Ich möchte helfen,

möchte darlegen, weshalb eine Teilnahme an dem Proxy-Verfahren bei der GameStop Aktie aus meiner Sicht sehr wichtig ist. Dabei geht es gar nicht alleine um die Firma GamStop Corp. als vielmehr um den gesamten Markt.

Von meinem Broker wünsche ich mir, die besondere Situation zu erkennen und für den Gesamtbestand an GameStop Aktien seiner Kunden einen Antrag für die Teilnahme am Proxy-Verfahren zu stellen und die Unterlagen weiter zu leiten. D

Hey everyone, been a fidelity customer for about a decade now. I guess I never really wondered up until now, but I recently found out some info on Proxy Voting.

If you have multiple accounts with the same holding ($GME) for example, YOU WILL GET SEPARATE CONTROL NUMBERS FROM FIDELITY. I stopped by one of the locations yesterday and asked (answer was the accounts will be combined into one vote and control number.. not the case). I just wanted to get info out there to people who have already voted and may have holdings in another account. You will have to vote separately for each Account holding the security.

Jag kontaktade Avanza ang proxy voting i Gamestop's årliga bolagstämma. Jag fick som svar att vi ej kan delta i bolagstämma i USA pågrund av att Avanza handlar via en depåbank och kan inte ägarregistera.

Men om jag köper aktien så äger jag aktien, så jag tycker det är jävligt underligt att jag inte kan rösta. Enligt denna brud så ska de ju inte vara några konstigheter från den Amerikanska sidan så whats up.

- Kan man fråga Finansinspektionen om sånt här?

Edit1: Jag har nu kontaktat FI samt gjort en anmälan till Konsumentverket rakt mot Avanza Bank Holding AB.

I mailet / anmälan tar jag upp att jag äger aktier i Gamestop innan deadline 15e April, jag länkade även in Gamestops dokument; https://gamestop.gcs-web.com/node/18846/html#toc122967_9

Jag påpekade samma punkter som OP i denna post https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/my5h1e/broker_nonvotes/

I min anmälan via Konsumentverket bifogade jag även Depåsammandrag från Jan till slutet av April samt Värdeintyg för samma period. Här kan konsumentverket själva se att jag faktiskt äger Gamestop aktier och har gjort det sen tidigt i Januari samt att jag ägt alla mina aktier innan den 15e April.

Jag rekommenderar att ni också kontaktar FI och Konsumentverket eftersom vi äger Gamestop aktier och ska fan i mig åka till månen.

I held GME shares before the date of record on 4/15/21 with robin hood.

Over the last two weeks I have transferred my shares from robin hood to fidelity.

I called fidelity today and they told me robin hood will have to provide me with my proxy material since I held the shares with them before 4/15/21.

Anyways Robin Hood still hasn’t provided me with my proxy material.

Is there another way I can reach out to vote?

Edit: I found the email from Robin Hood I was able to vote through proxy push.

For those in the same situation this was the extract title of my email “GameStop Corp.'s Annual Meeting is Coming Up. Vote now”

I would suggest searching your email for “Annual Meeting” or “vote now”

Thanks

habe eben mit einer netten Dame telefoniert von der WP Abteilung der ING. Anscheinend melden sich zu wenige, sodass sie es (bisher) nicht in Betracht ziehen das Proxy Voting anzubieten.

"Ganz ehrlich, der Anteil an Kunden die das machen möchten ist verschwindend gering." Sie gibts aber trotzdem weiter, haben da eine Liste zum Eintragen solcher Anfragen.

MACHT MAL WELLEEEE🐳 Telefonnummer der Abteilung: 06950603050

Kleine Randnotiz, welche interessant sein könnte: habe auch nachgefragt, warum ich zur HV von Haier (aRbItRaGe mein Arsch) Unterlagen erhalten habe. Das ging aber über CompuShare (Drittpartei) und da hat die ING nix am Hut.

Nichtsdestotrotz sehe ich mich gezwungen nach dem MOASS die ING zu verlassen, weil ihr Markenbotschafter irgendein Sportler ist und sie das Voting nicht ermöglichen, selbst wenn es andere Broker doch schaffen. Nimm das Sentiment-Algorithmus! Scheißverein. Außerdem macht das Orange einen doch aggressiv. Die kriegen nächstes mal direkt Affenfäkalien hinterhergeworfen.

Halten die Pranken steif und die Zehen haarig. 🚀

perhaps this will help some europoor apes that use degiro:

i just asked my Degiro (germany) customer service about the proxy vote. Initially you had to order a UBO-Certificate (Certificate of Ownership) at degiro and send that to gamestop to get your control number, but it seems they are about to make the voting a lot easier because there are a ton of requests of users how to participate in the voting. (I asked about other ways of voting or letting degiro vote for me in my interest)

Funny sidenote, they in addition made clear, that they do not lent out or short any shares we purchased, although i did not ask for that in particular. this shows me how dedicated we apes are.

Here is what they answered in german and english:

"Sehr geehrte Frau/geehrter XXXXX,

Dear Ms / dear XXXXX,

Thank you very much for your email.

The annual general meeting of Gamestop Corp. will take place on June 9, 2021. Due to the high demand for participation in this Annual General Meeting, we have decided to simplify the process. We will notify you by email as soon as possible about how you can attend the Annual General Meeting or cast your votes.

One of the largest brokers in Korea just sent out a text message notifying that GME holders can apply to receive Proxy materials.

Funny thing is, I've been using this broker for two years now, and have never received a message about voting. It seems like ants kept pressuring them about voting, and they finally caved 🚀🚀

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to be on hold for 30+ minutes before I can connect to customer service......

To the moon🚀🚀🚀

In case anyone else also uses Schwab, I just received my materials via email. Happy voting!

I just got of the phone with Fidelity. I was concerned about receiving my proxy information because of a ToA that was in process. He assured me that since the shares were in my name, I will be able to vote. He also confirmed that they received all of the information two days ago and are awaiting on their third party to process everything. He said to expect your email in the first half of next week. I hope this helps any Apes that may have been wondering.

On a side note, Fidelity customer service has been excellent in my experience. My hold time was about 30 seconds and the rep. was extremely friendly and helpful.

Hey guys I'm just curious as to why the proxy number given by Questrade is not good when casting the Vote directly on the site given by the SEC and GameStop?

I try casting my vote there with the number given but it isn't accepted i contacted GME investor relations and I'm waiting for their answer.

For some reason Questrade gives a site proxyvote,com But ones click it redirects to https://east.proxyvote.com/pv/web Why so? Is this voting thing on its own and independent of a vote on the real site? Can anyone shed any light on this?

Edit: I'm located in Canada. Already email QUESTRADE with a detailed email as to what I'm experiencing. Will update when I get an answer.

Update: so i manage to get an answer and QUESTRADE link will automatically redirect you to a server based on where you are voting from, I'm voting from east Canada thus the link shows easter, a fellow commented he is central and thus it shows central. It would've been nice to read upon this on the mail so to clear any questions but not everyone is perfect, that being said I voted 👍🏼 and feel proud of it.

The 500,000,000 shares vote is officially off the proxy! No more FUD of dilution!

AMC is now offering 43,000,000 shares at-the-market (ATM). These shares can be offered at any time at the market price. A great way to increase liquidity for AMC. Now how is this good news you may ask? Please let me explain:

1. AMC will raise cash to clear debts and survive longer as everyone is getting vaccinated and movie theaters are opening up everywhere!

2. GameStop did the same exact thing with 3.5 million shares. GME issued the shares periodically the past 3 weeks until it was all gone. No one knew this was happening until after it was done, and retail investors bought majority of those shares. Also the price rose 10% after the news broke.

3. Now after seeing what GME did, AMC could follow suit and issue shares slowly and not do it all at once. This will not hurt the squeeze and will allow retail investors to buy more shares. The price will most likely trade sideways for a while, but 🦍 will own more shares, AMC will raise money and the squeeze will not be ruined.

4. 43 million shares sounds like a lot, but knowing there are naked shorts in the market, we don’t know exactly how many, but according to prior DDs and calculations, it is probably over 200 million fake shares, and that’s being conservative. So 43 million shares won’t have much effect as the hedgies still have to cover and buy back the fake shares.

The timing of this and the reason behind this is unknown at the moment, but I have a possible idea.

My theory, there is no way to know if this is true or not at the moment, just my idea. Take it with a grain of salt:

My guess for all this is happening now is that the share count/voting is currently going on, and Adam sees the amount of votes coming in. There may be already more votes than shares in the float, and he probably knows this is a good time to issue shares without diluting the price.

Also I want to also mentioned that this morning, it was reported that there was a large amount of options contracts at $10.50 strike price. Now why would any retail investor buy options at $10.50, when the opening price was at $11.50? They wouldn’t because we believe the price was going up. This means that a large institutional investor made these contracts in hopes to be in the money. We already know that hedgies and market makers are hiding FTDs and shorts in deep ITM option contracts, this could a new one that they just added. Now why am I bringing this up?

I realize that the intent was not to spread misinformation and to urge people to vote but we really need to be better and more critical of what we post and what we upvote. Regardless of the misinformation it is still important to vote as soon as you can.

In the 2020 Proxy Statement on Page 9 it says:

>Your vote is especially important this year in light of Hestia and Permit’s proxy contest. Whether or not you plan to attend the annual meeting, we urge you to vote as soon as possible using the enclosed BLUE proxy card. Please see “How do I vote?” below for more information on how to vote.
>
>and again on page 61:
>
>STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO SUBMIT THEIR BLUE PROXY CARDS WITHOUT DELAY. A PROMPT RESPONSE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

In the 2019 Proxy Statement on Page 58 it says:

>STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO FORWARD THEIR PROXIES WITHOUT DELAY. A PROMPT RESPONSE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

In the 2018 Proxy Statement on Page 51 it says:

>STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO FORWARD THEIR PROXIES WITHOUT DELAY. A PROMPT RESPONSE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Here's a picture for those of you that are too lazy to search.

From 2018

It absolutely blows my mind that these things are not questioned as soon as they are posted. This has spread all over the damn place and no one bothered to even look to see if it was true.

This sub has turned into a wild den of conspiracy theories, bad DD, insane misinformation, and idol/celebrity obsessed nonsense. The whole goal is to BUY and hold. People are starting to view GameStop as a cult in part because we blindly believe everything that is upvoted. Take time to think critically and do research.

QUESTION THE DD THAT IS POSTED.

LOOK AT THE LINKS BEFORE COMMENTING.

DOWNVOTE BAD DD.

BUY & HOLD

Also, please don’t report me as being suicidal. It’s already happened once. This is the thing we accuse shills of doing and when someone points out misinformation and gets reported it makes it seem as though our community is doing the same shitty things as shills.

EDIT:

Since people don’t seem to see the point of this post I’ll explain. Our community

XXX HODLER:

As soon as the voting data starts to climb, and the great ape minds here start to churn over the numbers and their ramifications... and just how many synthetic shares exist out there...

... it will trigger insane buying pressure. Because all of the doubters, the nay-sayers, the risk-averse...

...basically any paper-hand who can comprehend that ONE NUMBER is BIGGER THAN ANOTHER NUMBER... they will all be clamoring for a share.

E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E.

Keep in mind that the same people that were the catalyst will also be reason for the first dip.

Edit: tpyos

Hey everyone! This is my first ever post on here but I've been hodling since the 2nd dip in Feb at xxx shares up in Canada (full disclosure: I paper handed when it dropped to about $80 after Jan, then bought back in after DFV when it was $45, then added xx more when it was at $195).

I've wanted to vote and there was a post about 2 weeks ago with some info on how to do it with RBC Direct Investing (which is where I have all my shares), so I gave them a call just now. Since I had them on the line, I asked a few other basic questions that were bugging me:

1. How do I get my control number to vote?
2. Do they issue physical shares (so I could have 1 printed copy made for my wall)
3. Do they have any cap on limit orders like some of the US companies have

Here are the answers to each of those questions. I spoke with two people, and the first one wasn't qualified to answer them all and passed me over to another guy for questions 2 and 3.

1. Due to the high volume of requests for control numbers, RBC is sending stuff out in the mail on June 1st with all the info you need to vote (the guy said it would be "ready for the vote on June 17" but I had to correct him about the date). He said RBC sent out a message about this, but I never received it so I didn't know this is what they're doing. I consistently check my RBC messages and not once did I get anything in my inbox.
2. RBC doesn't actually offer the physical shares, but you can transfer one share over to some other company that does offer physical shares and they can print one for you
3. They don't have any cap on placing limit orders (I think this is sort of wrong though, because in January when the price was about $330, I set a sell limit for $10,000 that was cancelled)

One additional thing I asked about was after-market trades in Canada--RBC offers it up to 1 hour after the market closes, from 4:01pm-5:00pm ET. It has to be done over the phone, costs a base fee of $43 per trade + an additional amount depending on how many shares you trade.

Take this info as you will, but I just wanted to provide an update for those of us in Canada who don't want to just twiddle our thumbs before this thing pops. If anyone has any other RBC info (or can modify the info I mentioned here) or other Canada-centric stuff for people on like Scotiabank's platform or Wealthsimple trade, let us know too!

Thanks for being such a fun community too! Here's a few rockets for good measure 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

EDIT: so I just went downstai

So like alot of you I transfered from rh to fidelity, and I saw that fidelity had sent out voting materials. I did not, however, receive mine. I called and spoke with Josh (I get him every time, this guy's fucking awesome), and he told me fidelity has been delayed in getting the control numbers, but they'd be sent out as they become available. He also said he'd been getting a few calls about this, so don't ever feel bad calling. Anyway, if you're with fidelity, and haven't gotten your materials yet, I was told give it another week, and if I don't get them, to call back. Just figured id share this info for anyone else like me who wasn't sure.

An additional clarification. I've come to understand if you purchased shares on rh prior to transfer, you'd need to vote through robinhood for previous shares, and fidelity for shares purchased through them. Thanks for clearing that up yall!

Hello, eh? To my fellow Canadian apes!

If you've purchased your GME shares through WealthSimple and you have received your control number, you will likely know two things:

A) Attempting to vote with your control number on the GME proxy vote page (https://www.proxypush.com/evote/GME/login) results in an error that says "Invalid input. Please verify the below information and resubmit your request."

B) WealthSimple has said "Please note, you'll likely not be able to vote until Broadridge (the issuer of the communication materials) opens the proxy voting which might be another week or two." (this was what they told me when I contacted support to ask about GME voting).

I decided to Google "Broadridge proxy voting" and it lead me to proxyvote.com, where my control number actually brings up voting options! I don't know if my control number will ever work with the GME voting page, but I was excited to see I am able to vote through the company providing proxy voting to WealthSimple.

That said, I would never advocate for just going straight to a URL shared by someone (who knows if it's legit, right?), you can verify the voting process with WealthSimple support. This is just the conclusion I reached through my impatience waiting to submit my votes and I wanted to let other Canadian apes know that we may have to vote through Broadridge instead of GME directly.

I hope this is helpful for other WealthSimple users and as always, this is not financial advice, I am not a cat.

P.S. I have no idea if I selected the correct flair, my guess was opinion or discussion.

Greetings fellow Canadian Apes!

Anyone receive their control # yet? I'm currently with CIBC Investors Edge and I haven't heard anything yet 😭

Been hodling since mid Feb so I should be eligible to vote? Unless our system just works at the pace of maple syrup dripping off our trees and we won't get the control numbers until June 8th.

Cheers!

Hello, fellow apes! 🦍

First of all, this is not financial advice. Do not take anything I say here as the absolute truth. Make your own due diligence and take your own conclusions.

I stopped going into Reddit and watching the ticker a few days ago because my bias was already 100% confirmed, but yesterday I started to receive comments and awards in my old post: Proxy Voting DD, and it caught my attention.

I think I predicted why GameStop is being so public about the MOASS right now, and I want to show you why.

GameStop literally and directly addressing the MOASS in their Twitter account

GameStop voting tabulator for the 2021 Shareholder Meeting is Computershare (Proxy document, page 12), a company that specializes in multiple things relevant to the stock market (proxy voting, direct purchases of shares, and more). Knowing this, I found two things:

A) How GameStop may have already received their first voting reports

Georgeson is a "sub-company" of Computershare, and it seems they function like the Computershare division for proxy voting.

On Georgeson's site, there is an "Annual Meeting Calculator" so that companies can see the timeline of relevant events before the shareholder meeting's desired date.

If we put the GameStop meeting date, we can see what are the expected and estimated dates for certain events:

If you want to have your meeting on June 9, you should file the proxy statement with the SEC on May 5

We know GameStop filled their proxy statement with the SEC way earlier than that (4/22, thank you RC!) so the entire timeline of events should be shifted.

Take a look at what is expected on May 24

If my maths are correct, May 24 is around 13 business days after May 5 (SEC filling date) so we can use that to calculate the actual date.

**I estimate that GameStop should have received their first voting reports arou

Hello fellow apes! 🦍

First of all, this is not financial advice. Do not take anything I say here as the absolute truth. Make your own due diligence and take your own conclusions.

All of you know, GameStop released its proxy statement on April 22. I personally can not vote since I have my shares in eToro but please, vote as soon as you can. Your vote is extremely important and the board urged us to vote ASAP.

I am feeling very anxious today. Rainy saturday here in Uruguay so I decided to take a few hits and do some DD on the proxy voting process of GME to keep that confirmation bias going.

https://preview.redd.it/m48drdf9i7v61.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=2e38aac59868545af595b0a7c3c2062571109589

I've been JACKED TO THE TITS since the 14A filling because the final vote count can show how there are much more "shares" than the real available float, proving beyond any doubt the naked shorting and manipulation that we all know is taking place.

So, you may be wondering: Do we have to wait until the shareholder meeting date for the truth to be uncovered?

I think not. Or at least that's what this DD is about. Let's get into it!

https://preview.redd.it/44seg2lzo7v61.png?width=628&format=png&auto=webp&s=3e90360a0a6720c717bdf06907e0486cda9c12c9

How are the shareholder votes counted?

This is actually stated in the proxy document, page 12:

>9.  Who Counts the Votes?
>
>We have engaged Computershare, our transfer agent, as our inspector of elections to receive and tabulate votes. Computershare will separately tabulate “for” and “against” votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. Computershare will also certify the results and determine the existence of a quorum and the validity of proxies and ballots.

Okay so let's do some research on Computershare! If we go to their website we can see they do a lot of things, but we specifically want to focus on the proxy voting specifics.

This is not about the count itself, but it's nice: GameStop is prepared to have a virtual shareholder meeting, supposedly using the latest tech.

Ok, back to the count. In the "Business" menu, we can see there is a section for "Corporate Governance & Proxy Services". Here there are link

Die Affen rasen durch den Wald, der eine macht den andern kalt,
die ganze Affenbande brüllt:
"Wo ist die Kokosnuss? Wo ist die Kokosnuss? Wer hat die Kokosnuss geklaut?"

Ein Kinderlied, ein Ohrwurm der mir in den Kopf kam, als ich die vielen Berichte über die Teilnahme am Voting für GME gelesen habe. 💎🤲🦍 hier. Ich will es auch wissen. Wer hat die Kokosnuss geklaut?

TL;DR: Es ist kompliziert. Bitte lesen.

Ich bin das Thema mal anders angegangen, als mich an den Broker zu wenden. Habe mir zuerst die Frage gestellt, womit wir es hier zu tun haben. Wir sprechen über eine Aktie und die Rechte der Aktionäre. Es gibt aber noch eine Besonderheit, die es zu beachten gilt. Wir sprechen über eine ausländische Aktie. Es muss doch Regeln für den Handel von ausländischen Aktien an Deutschen Börsen geben. Die will ich mir mal angucken und vielleicht finde ich Antworten auf meine Frage.

Ich versuche, es mal einfach zusammenzufassen. Aus Deutscher Sicht wird bei Auslandsaktien zwischen EU-Ausland und Drittland unterschieden. Als Regeln für die Wahrnehmung der Aktionärsrechte gelten immer die der Aktie zugrunde liegenden Gesetze im Heimatland der Firma, die die Aktien heraus gibt. In der Regel ist ein Eintrag im Aktienbuch (Register) der Firma notwendig, um Einladungen zur Hauptversammlung und Stimmkarten für die Abstimmung zu erhalten.

Das Aktienregister in den USA von Gamestop. Darum dreht sich hier alles. Wer steht da drin? Darin stehen alle Aktionäre, die dem Unternehmen namentlich bekannt sind. Sie erhalten eine Registrierungsnummer und ein Stimmrecht. Wer ist dem Unternehmen namentlich bekannt? In den USA sollten das alle "Einheimischen" Aktionäre sein. Aktionäre aus dem Ausland stehen dort namentlich nicht drin, die Aktien werden im Namen "the street" gehandelt und im Aktienregister steht stellvertretend die Verwahrungsstelle der Aktien (z.B. Clearing House, Broker oder andere Institute). Möchte man als Ausländer in dieses Aktienregister eingetragen werden, dann muss man die Anforderungen dafür im Ausland erfragen und seine Aktien entsprechend handeln. Das heißt, es könnte z.B. notwendig sein, dass die Aktien im Ausland und nicht an einer Deutschen Börse gehandelt werden müssen. Man muss also in Erfahrung bringen, welcher Broker die Bedingungen erfüllen kann und welche Kosten damit verbunden sind. Vielleicht ist sogar ein Brokerwechsel notwendig. Die Fragen sollte man im Vorfeld klären. Ob sich das alles lohnt, muss jeder für sich selbst entscheiden

If you are interested in checking the status of the proxy voting,

• Go to https://www.proxymonitor.org/
  • Don't be surprised if you get a "502/504 Gateway Time-out" thanks to Reddit Apes. It took me 15 minutes to get these screenshots.
• Search for "GME"
• Click "View 13 results"

https://preview.redd.it/opnk3jvkbpy61.png?width=501&format=png&auto=webp&s=d1423ba0ddcb14136e745212a58acd90142a6b3d

• Here is the result. Currently for 2021, it shows 0.0% votes. Hopefully this is updated in the next couple of days.

Currently 0.0&#37; reporting votes.

See everyone on the moon!

When will it be available???

Control Number Invalid

So what are my options? When I click the vote button through fidelity, it does nothing. I had 15 shares on robbinghood that I transferred over at the end of March. I also had bought more than 30 shares on Fidelity before 4/15/21 so I should definitely be able to vote. Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: I got an email finally and voted! Thank you for those who directed me in the right direction.

EDIT 2: I also got my email from ETRADE and voted again since I diversified my brokers a little

Wanted to start this thread in the hopes we can get a list of voting procedures for all the common brokers.

I'm on etrade and don't usually see a lot of info about them on here..

I just got off a chat with them

Etrade expects proxy materials to go out next week and I was told to contact customer service at the end of next week if I still haven't received my control number.

Post up what you know about your broker and voting. I'll update this post as I'm able.

/u/redchessqueen99 /u/rensole any chance of getting some visibility for this to get a list for people? I'm seeing this question a lot for different brokers and wanted to help.

TO ACTUALLY VOTE: Directly.From Gamestop's 14a: use your 12 digit control number provided by your broker and go to www.proxydocs.com/gme to vote.

Edit: Use the link provided by your broker, IT MAY BE different from what is listed in the 14a. But be careful that it comes directly from the materials provided by your broker. Don't fall victim to a phishing scam.

_----------------------------------------------------------

Charles Schwab: SERVICE - CORPORATE ACTIONS- PROXY EVENTSproxy materials for GME should be available near the end of April.

Etrade: Materials to go out next week from ID@proxyvote.com

ETORO: (not able to vote)

Fidelity: you can check by chatting with the virtual assistant by typing in “proxy vote” it’ll send you a link that says “proxy materials.” From there, it’ll show a proxy materials tab and you can follow instructions from there.

Robinhood: Transfer to Fidelity (seriously wtf are you still doing on there)

Trading212: (not able to vote)

TD Ameritrade: contact customer service to get your control number.

I dunno who else was watching and got a massive stroke to their confirmation bias, but listening to her describe what happened when another company had too many proxy votes compared to the available shares got me all in my feels. Talking about how it took months to figure out the mess had me drooling! Make sure to do your part and vote, because this is the true way! Let’s continue to be an awesome sub, and keep our eyes on the prize! The DD is out there, and you all know what you need to do.🦍🚀🚀🚀🚀🌕
