INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROXY STATEMENT AND THE ANNUAL MEETING—CONTINUED
However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may only
vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting if you follow the
instructions described below under the headings “How do I attend
the Annual Meeting?” and “How do I vote?” If you have received
paper copies of the proxy materials, your broker, bank or other
nominee has enclosed a voting instruction form for you to use in
directing your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your
shares, which may contain instructions for voting by telephone or
electronically.
How do I vote?
Stockholders of record can vote in the following ways:
•By Mail: If you are a stockholder of record and elect to receive a
paper copy of your proxy materials, you can vote by marking,
dating and signing the proxy card and returning it by mail in the
enclosed postage-paid envelope.
•By Internet or Telephone: You can vote over the Internet at
www.proxyvote.com by following the instructions on the proxy
card or in the Notice previously sent to you. You can vote using a
touchtone telephone by calling 1-800-690-6903.
•At the Annual Meeting: If you are a stockholder of record
planning to attend the Annual Meeting and wish to vote your
shares in person, we will give you a ballot at the meeting.
Even if you plan to be present at the Annual Meeting, we encourage
you to complete and mail the enclosed card to vote your shares by
proxy or vote by phone or the Internet. Telephone and Internet voting
facilities for stockholders will be available 24 hours a day and will
close at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on March 14, 2016. Proxy cards
mailed by holders of record must be received no later than March 14,
2016 in order to be counted in the vote.
If you beneficially own your shares and receive a voting instruction
form, you can vote by following the instructions on your voting
instruction form. Please refer to information from your bank, broker or
other nominee on how to submit voting instructions. Stockholders
who own their shares in street name are not able to vote at the
Annual Meeting unless they have a proxy, executed in their favor,
from their broker, bank or other nominee, the stockholder of record of
their shares.
How do I vote by proxy given to a Company
officer if I am a stockholder of record?
If you properly fill in your proxy card appointing an officer of the
Company as your proxy and submit it to us in time to vote, your
proxy, meaning one of the individuals named on your proxy card, will
vote your shares as you have directed.
If other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting and any
adjournment or postponement thereof for consideration and you are a
stockholder of record and have submitted a proxy, the persons
named as proxies will have the discretion to vote on those other
matters for you.
At the time we began printing this Proxy Statement, we knew of no
matters intended to be raised at the Annual Meeting other than those
described in this Proxy Statement.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to
submit your proxy. Returning the proxy card or submitting your vote
electronically will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting.
How do I attend the Annual Meeting?
All stockholders as of January 15, 2016 are invited to attend and vote
at the Annual Meeting. For admission to the Annual Meeting, if you
are a stockholder of record, you should bring the admission ticket
which is part of the proxy card and a form of photo identification to
the Registered Stockholders check-in area, where your ownership will
be verified. Those who beneficially own shares should come to the
Beneficial Owners check-in area. To be admitted, if you are a
beneficial owner, you must bring an account statement or letter from
your bank, broker or nominee showing that you own ADT shares as
of January 15, 2016 along with a form of photo identification.
Registration will begin at 8:00 a.m., and the Annual Meeting will begin
at 8:30 a.m.
What if I return my proxy card but do not
mark it to show how I am voting?
Your shares will be voted according to the instructions you have
indicated. If you sign and return your proxy card but do not indicate
instructions for voting, your shares will be voted: “FOR” the election of
all nominees to the Board of Directors named on the proxy card;
“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as
our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for fiscal year
2016; and “FOR” the approval, in a non-binding vote, of the
compensation of ADT’s named executive officers.
If other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting and any
adjournment or postponement thereof for consideration and you are a
stockholder of record and have submitted a proxy, the persons
named as proxies will have the discretion to vote on those matters for
you.
May I change or revoke my vote after I
submit my vote via telephone or the
Internet, or return my proxy?
