144.—(1) A person holding voting shares issued on behalf of the core of a protected cell company is entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of the person’s rights to attend, speak at, chair and vote at a general meeting.
(2) But a proxy must vote in accordance with any instructions given by the person appointing the proxy.
(3) Termination of a person’s authority to act as a proxy does not affect—
(a)the validity of anything the proxy does as chair of the meeting;
(b)a vote given by the proxy,
unless the protected cell company receives notice of termination before the commencement of the meeting.
(4) Paragraph (3) has effect subject to any provision of the protected cell company’s instrument of incorporation which requires notice of termination to be received by the protected cell company at a time which is earlier than the commencement of the meeting.
(5) But a provision of the protected cell company’s instrument of incorporation is void insofar as it requires the appointment of a proxy or the termination of such an appointment to be notified to the protected cell company earlier than 48 hours before the time for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting.
(6) In calculating the period of 48 hours mentioned in paragraph (5), no account is to be taken of any part of a day that is not a working day.
