I got my proxy form and package in yesterday's U.S. (priority) mail. (It was forwarded to me by the clearing house since my shares are held in "street name."
Contents:
= 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders ( ~ 74 pages ), = Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders (on Tues. Jan. 13, 1998), = Proxy ballot and postage-paid business reply envelope.
The ballot has 5 items:
- elect board of 7 directors, - adopt the agreement and plan of merger of CMVT and BSN, - ratify the selection of auditors, - approve 1997 stock incentive compensation plan, - approve 1997 employee stock purchase plan.
Interestingly, the merger requires a Yes vote from two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Comverse common stock.
"If you do not vote, or you abstain, it will have the effect of a vote against the merger."
Only a majority of the common stock shares of Boston Technology, Inc. voting Yes is needed to approve the merger.
"This Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is dated Dec. 1, 1997 and is first being mailed to shareholders on or about Dec. 1, 1997."
