“Quyana to all Calista Shareholders who voted in the 2023 Board of Directors election. A record-breaking 80 percent of voting Shareholders cast their votes online this year. In addition, we saw an increase in online voting by Elders—over 56 percent of voting Elders cast their votes online,” said Thom Aparuk Leonard, vice president of Corporate Affairs.
Shareholder votes solely decide Board elections and proxy prizes are only awarded if enough Shareholders vote and quorum is reached. The Inspector of Elections typically certifies quorum results within five business days after the Annual Meeting.
