How will my shares be voted if I return a blank proxy card or a blank CDI Voting Instruction Form?
If you are a holder of record of our Common Stock and you sign and return a proxy card or CDI Voting Instruction Form or otherwise submit a proxy without giving specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted:
• | “FOR” the approval of the ASX Waiver Proposal; and |
• | “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal. |
If you hold your shares in street name via a broker, bank, or other nominee and do not provide the broker, bank, or other nominee with voting instructions (including by signing and returning a blank voting instruction card), your shares:
• | will be counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum; and |
• | will not be counted in connection with the other proposals or any other non-routine matters that are properly presented at the Special Meeting. For each of these proposals, your shares will be treated as “broker non-votes.” |
Our Board knows of no matter to be presented at the Special Meeting other than the proposals identified in this Proxy Statement. If any other matters properly come before the Special Meeting upon which a vote properly may be taken, shares represented by all proxies received by us will be voted with respect thereto as permitted and in accordance with the judgment of the proxy holders.
Who is making this solicitation and who will pay the expenses?
This proxy solicitation is being made on behalf of our Board. The Company will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting. In addition to solicitation by mail, our employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone or facsimile, but they will not receive additional compensation for these services. Arrangements may be made with brokerage houses, custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries to send proxy materials to their principals, and we may reimburse them for their expenses.
A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will be available for inspection by stockholders for any purpose germane to the meeting for 10 business days prior to the Special Meeting, at Anteris Technologies Global Corp., Toowong Tower, Level 3, Suite 302, 9 Sherwood Road, Toowong QLD 4066, Australia between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. AEST. The stockholder list will also be available to stockholders of record for examination during the Special Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/AVR2025SM. You will need the control number included on your proxy card, or voting instruction form, or otherwise provided by your bank, broker, or other nominee.
What is “householding” and how does it affect me?
We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding.” Under this procedure, we send only one set of proxy materials to eligible stockholders who share a single address, unless we have received instructions to the contrary from any stockholder at that address. This practice is designed to eliminate duplicate mailings, conserve natural resources, and reduce our printing and mailing costs. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards.
If your shares are held beneficially and you share an address with another stockholder and receive only one set of proxy materials but would like to request a separate copy of these materials, please contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., by calling (866) 540-7095 or writing to Broadridge Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717, and an additional copy of proxy materials will be promptly delivered to you. Similarly, if you receive multiple copies of the proxy materials and would prefer to receive a single copy in the future, you may also contact Broadridge at the above telephone number or address. If you own shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee, you should contact the nominee concerning householding procedures.
