Remote Voting Ballot financial
"the Remote Voting Ballot (“Ballot”) relating to the matters of the Annual General Meeting"
cumulative voting financial
"inclusion ... of an item relating to the possibility of requesting the adoption of cumulative voting"
A voting system for electing a company's board where each shareholder can pool all their votes and cast them for one or more board candidates rather than spreading votes evenly. Think of it like having 100 stickers you can put all on one favorite class representative instead of giving one sticker to each candidate. It matters to investors because it gives minority holders a realistic chance to secure board representation and influence company decisions, affecting governance, strategy and therefore investment value.
