Proxy Vote，代理投票，是指个人或公司代表不能出席股东大会或不能就某一特定问题投票的公司股东所进行的投票。注册投资管理公司也可以代表共同基金股东或单独管理账户的高净值投资者进行代理投票。

Proxy Vote：refers to a ballot cast by a single person or firm on behalf of a corporation's shareholder who may not be able to attend a shareholder meeting, or who may not choose to vote on a particular issue. 

代理投票运作模式：

上市公司通过年度会议向股东报告其活动。在这些会议之前，股东会收到关于在会议上投票表决的议题的信息，比如股权、董事会结构、高管薪酬和福利。在公司登记日拥有公司适用表决权股份的投资者可能有资格对这些问题进行投票。公司可能会在网上提供代理材料（proxy materials），通常包括：一份年度报告（annual report），一份描述要投票的问题的代理声明（proxy statement），以及一张带有投票说明的代理卡（proxy card）。材料也可以邮寄给有资格在年度股东大会(AGM)上投票的投资者。投资者不必亲自参加股东大会，而是可以选举其他人，比如公司管理团队的一名成员，代替他们投票。此人被指定为代理人（proxy），并将根据其代理卡上的股东指示进行代理投票。代理投票可以在截止时间之前通过邮件、电话或在线进行。

参考双语例句：

If no Director is present, or if each of the Directors present declines to take the chair, or if the chairman chosen shall retire from the chair, the Members present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote shall elect one of their number to be chairman.

倘概无董事出席或各出席的董事概不愿主持，或倘获选主席应退任主席，则亲自或由受委代表出席且有权表决的股东应推选其中一人出任主席。

The instrument appointing a proxy to vote at a general meeting shall : (i) be deemed to confer authority upon the proxy to demand or join in demanding a poll and to vote on any resolution (or amendment thereto) put to the meeting for which it is given as the proxy thinks fit provided that any form issued to a member for use by him for appointing a proxy to attend and vote at an extraordinary general meeting or at an annual general meeting at which any business is to be transacted shall be such as to enable the member, according to his intention, to instruct the proxy to vote in favour of or against (or, in default of instructions, to exercise his discretion in respect of) each resolution dealing with any such business; and (ii) unless the contrary is stated therein, be valid as well for any adjournment of the meeting as for the meeting to which it relates. 

委任代表在大会上表决之文据应：(i)被视为授权受委代表要或联合要求按股数投票表决及按其认为适合之方式就在其获委任代表出席之会议上提呈之任何决议案（或其修订本）表决，惟若向股东发出任何表格供其用作委任代表出席将于会上处理事务之股东特别大会或股东周年大会并于会上表决，则该表格应使该股东能够按照其意向，指示该代表投票赞成或反对（如没有指示，则由该代表行使其酌情权）每项涉及任何有关事务之决议案；及(ii)除非在该文据内注明相反规定，否则该文据对其所涉及会议之任何续会同属有效。
