في مواجهة الانتخابية على أصوات (تفويض) المساهمين/في صراع انتخابي على أصوات(تفويض) المساهمين


Explanation:

هي منافسة انتخابية من أجل الاستحواذ على الإدارة من خلال الانتخابات ، عندما لا تسيطر مجموعة من المساهمين على كتلة مهمة من الأصوات. في هذه الحالة تقوم مجموعتان أو أكثر من المجموعات الناشئة بمحاولة بإقناع غالبية المساهمين الذين لم يحسموا أمرهم بالتصويت
لصالح التغيير حسب ما تراه كل مجموعة , و المجموعة التي تحصل على أكبر أعدد من الأصوات (التفويضات) تتمكن من خلال سلطة التفويض من السيطرة على قرار تغيير الإدارة مجلس الإدارة و استبدالها بأخرى

‘’porxy’’ refers to the "voting delegation" in this case. When deciding whether to sell, merge the company, or change the directors. shareholders can delegate their votes to other shareholders to control the final decision. Hence the fight to get the delegation of vote.


What Is a Proxy Fight?
A proxy fight is the action of a group of shareholders joining forces, in a bid to gather enough shareholder proxies to win a corporate vote. Sometimes referred to as a "proxy battle,” this action is mainly used in corporate takeovers, where outside acquirers attempt to convince existing shareholders to vote out some or all of a company’s senior management, to make it easier to seize control over the organization.
