2 THE PROXY SOLICITOR COMPARISON REPORT SUMMARY INTRODUCTION In the following pages, we summarize the results of this year s survey of proxy solicitors. 57 companies took the survey, which is the highest number of responses in the survey s history. The survey covers six firms: The, D.F. King, Georgeson Shareholder, Mellon Investor Services, Morrow & Co, and W.F. Doring. As the result of responses to the proxy solicitor survey, we will donate $1,85 to charity to fulfill our commitment of $5 per completed survey. The full 39-page proxy solicitor report is available to survey participants for only $50 including shipping. Non-participants may purchase it for $450. In addition to the information included in this summary, it has the following information: Comparative scores for each question for 1998, 000, 00, 004, and. Distribution of scores for each question (i.e. the number of 5s, 4s, 3s, s, 1s, and NAs). Tables on Response Rates by Proxy Solicitor, Highest and Lowest Scoring Questions for the, Overall Scores by Participant Size, Annual Fees and Expenses by firm, and Number of Shareholders of Respondents for each Proxy Solicitor. The winner of the Tops Award is The. The again scored highest in overall client satisfaction with a rating of In, the industry scored second highest in overall satisfaction since we began the biennial survey in Scores may have been slightly lower because we defined a rating of 4 as satisfied, instead of somewhat satisfied. The survey is used by proxy solicitors to get feedback from clients, and to benchmark their performance. The survey is used by companies to select and monitor their proxy solicitors. However, we strongly advise against using this survey as the sole basis for choosing a proxy solicitor. When a company is deciding on a proxy solicitor, it is also prudent to: 1. Insure that the proxy solicitor has the capability to provide the services you need. Look into their relationships and contracts with clients, their resources and responsiveness, and their liability insurance. Determine if their personnel has the level of expertise in providing the support and analysis that is required.. Evaluate costs. Don t choose a proxy solicitor only on cost. What may seem a bargain now may be costly later. 3. Plan for the services that your company may need in a year or two, and determine if the current proxy solicitor can provide them. If not, consider whether you should go to another solicitor that offers all services, or one that just provides the extra services you will need. 4. Talk to companies similar to yours that use the proxy solicitors you are considering. 5. Visit the firms on your short list. Do not pick blind. The services offered by a proxy solicitor are too vital for you to take short cuts. 6. Get a credit report on the proxy solicitors you are considering. The Proxy Solicitor Comparison Report Summary is published by Stockholder Consulting Services, Inc. It is based on a model developed by Stockholder Consulting Services, Inc. and the Rutgers University Graduate School of Management, Interfunctional Management Department. 1
