UPDATE:  24 AUGUST 2017 11:30AM EST - 150+ proxies have been sent to Christopher Levingston so far

Due to the most recent announcement of the MIA to the effect that there is to be a new EGM on 8 September 2017 at 4pm EST, and the consequential clarification and unbundling of the previous proposals, the MIA has now made it necessary for a fresh proxy to be completed by RMAs.

What this means is that your previous proxies will have no effect, and if you wish to appoint me as your proxy, I have attached a link below to a fresh pre-filled proxy which you can adopt.

All you need to do is insert your personal details and address at the top of the page, and then sign and date it at the bottom, then scan it and send it back to me on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
