380.—(1) Any member of a company entitled to attend and vote at a meeting of it is entitled to appoint another person (whether a member or not) as his proxy to attend and vote instead of him; and in the case of a private company a proxy appointed to attend and vote instead of a member has also the same right as the member to speak at the meeting.
(2) But, unless the company's articles otherwise provide—
(a)paragraph (1) does not apply in the case of a company not having a share capital;
(b)a member of a private company is not entitled to appoint more than one proxy to attend on the same occasion; and
(c)a proxy is not entitled to vote except on a poll.
[F1(2A) The appointment of a proxy may, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in a company's articles, be contained in an electronic communication sent to such address as may be notified by or on behalf of the company for that purpose.
(2B) In so far as the articles of the company do not make other provision in that behalf, the appointment of a proxy may be contained in an electronic communication in accordance with the provisions of Table A (as for the time being in operation).]
(3) In the case of a company having a share capital, in every notice calling a meeting of the company there shall appear with reasonable prominence a statement that a member entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint a proxy or, where that is allowed, one or more proxies, to attend and vote instead of him, and that a proxy need not also be a member.
(4) If default is made in complying with paragraph (3) as respects any meeting, every officer of the company who is in default is liable to a fine.
(5) A provision contained in a company's articles is void in so far as it would have the effect of requiring[F1 the appointment of a proxy or any] document necessary to show the validity of, or otherwise relating to, the appointment of a proxy, to be received by the company or any other person in Northern Ireland more than 48 hours before a meeting or adjourned meeting in order that the appointment may be effective.
(6) If for the purpose of any meeting of a company invitations to appoint as proxy a person or one of a number of persons specified in the invitations are issued at the company's expense to some only of the members entitled to be sent a notice of the meeting and to vote at it by proxy, then every officer of the company who knowingly and wilfully authorises or permits their issue in that manner is liable to a fine.
However, an officer is not so liable by reason only of the issue to a member at his requestF1. . . of a form of appointment naming the proxy, or a list of persons willing to act as proxy, if the form or list is available on requestF1. . . to every member entitled to vote at the meeting by proxy.
[F1(6A) In this Article “address” includes any number or address used for the purposes of electronic communications.]
(7) This Article applies to meetings of any class of members of a company as it applies to general meetings of the company.
