your proxy how to vote or let them decide on the day on your behalf. If you do not tick a box for a particular resolution, then your proxy will abstain from

resolution, your votes will not be counted when calculating the majority of that resolution. If you do not tick any box for a particular resolution, then your

instruction will be to abstain.
