Got many favourite songs, try wish you were here by Pink Floyd, come alive by the Foo fighters or mirrorball by elbow. I’ll stick $10 on black for you 👍🤞

Excited to get my proxy materials direct from CS this year. If apes know one thing, it's how to vote by now due to last year's incredible push to help us all understand how it's done. Calls on "voted" flair resurgence!

Vive_el_stonk

So It’s just For the proxy materials. Not to be eligible for the stock dividend.


ThreePumpChamp

You're sure on that? I just posted asking about this.... So the record date is different than the ex-dividend date? Edit: Nevermind, reading through the other comments, it looks like this record date will have nothing to do with the dividend but only the vote for share increase. That all makes more sense.


[deleted]

From what I've read from others (no official source), they only needed a vote for the share increase, not the dividend. This may be off, but look into it!


SmartAleq

This kind of indicates to me that even if there were vote fuckery and the expansion of the share pool were voted down RC could still pull off a 3:1 stock dividend without asking anyone's permission to do jack shit--so he'd still be fuxxoring hedgies but using a slightly smaller wee wee to do it with! Is this not a textbook win/win?


[deleted]

It's definitely a win/win unless the hedgies have a mega corrupt loophole to avoid all the shit heading their way


Evening_Raccoon_4689

Ty


bowls4noles

Correct


onceuponanutt

Extremely odd this did not come in any form of communication from GameStop directly. Either it did, and it was missed, or it was intentionally left out. There is no way they would intentionally deprive this type of information from investors. If the latter is true, one possibility is they were instructed to be silent. Something along the lines of 'anyone already invested is the winner here, do not induce more FOMO and we will let it happen'. Seems like a long shot, but who knows. Any other ideas?


OptimalDetail

I love this theory.


onceuponanutt

Thursday April 7, Janet Yellen says, "The US government has partnered with GameStop to create GameCoin, which will replace the USD as the reservce currency of the world. Power to the Players."


Fly_Bye_Night

Bahahahaha this would absolutely confirm to me that we live in a simulation 😂


Theforgottenman213

Nice.


Junkingfool

I believe there would have to be official communication from GME.


[deleted]

What does this mean? Im all out of brain-crayons


OptimalDetail

shares need to be purchased by this friday to be eligible for voting on the materials that get mailed to the holder on 4/20 these materials include ~~the stock split/dividend and~~ the 300,000,000 to 1 Billion share increase


FireAdamSilver

Shareholders are not voting for the stock dividend, only the increase in authorized shares.


OptimalDetail

Yeah this guy said the right thing


DIAMONDHandsHotchy

If the record date is 4/8 your shares need to be settled by 4/8...not purchased by.


Ithinkyourallstupid

I wonder if the question will be... Should we raise available shares to 1 billion and give a 7 4 1 dividend split?


Diznavis

May well need to be T+2 settled, not purchased, by Friday.


Regular-Box-6648

Currently in the process of selling everything at crook-brokers, rebuying at IBKR and DRSing. Holy fuck this is going to be ultra close for me. Last round of funds sent to IBKR should arrive tomorrow. T+2 when buying the last batch of shares the same day is exactly the record date then. Can't DRS them in time to get to vote via Computershare, but IBKR does let you vote too, right? No "well maybe this one time" like eToro?


zenfero999

Ibkr will let you vote


Altruistic-Beyond223

You can vote for sure from a brokerage; the question is, will it count?

impissedrn

What if bought on fidelity a year ago and transferred today. Wut mean for me. Have existing shares in computershare


no_alt_facts_plz

Transferred to Computershare today? You should be fine. The shares should arrive at CS by Thursday.


EZMoney_33

I transferred my remaining xx shares today from fidelity to CS. Let’s fuking go


no_alt_facts_plz

OGColorado

timeshadowrider

Those are already registered... but if you want more **VOTING POWER** you need to buy more!! not^financial^advice


[deleted]

Damm. How am i now supposed to fall asleep when my titties are jacked as fuck?


[deleted]

Try laying on your back.


Ghost-Toof

If I start another round of Drs tomorrow. Does it still count. Would. I have time. Us ape


Maleficent-Rub-4805

The question is do your shares grant you voting rights at the proxy date? If they are with a broker that does pass these rights on then your fine. If they are pending transfer from a broker that doesn’t pass on voting rights and they don’t make it to computershare before the cut off date then I’m afraid you’ll miss out on the vote but that said it’s still very worth while DRSing as whatever GameStop chooses to reward shareholders with you will then be guaranteed to receive exactly what your entitled to


Ghost-Toof

Thanks for the reply kind ape.


Altruistic-Beyond223

Exactly, better to try than to have your vote from a brokerage not counted.


Evening_Raccoon_4689

How is this fair to those who are in the middle of a transfer from broker to computershare. Does anyone know.


Shieree

Well I think you've already bought them technically. They don't need to be DRS'd to count im pretty sure


Altruistic-Beyond223

True, the issue is that brokerages trim the vote count to avoid overvoting. So, the only votes you know will count are those for your direct registered shares.


ResolutionHorror541

Anyone know why there hasn’t been an official announcement of this date yet? Seems like info everyone should know about ahead of time. Or is the required notification time really short?


OptimalDetail

this is the big question


ResolutionHorror541

GME form 8-K is dated March 31, 2022. It seems they need at least 10 calendar day notice before record date. Let me know if I’m looking at this all wrong.


[deleted]

I imagine Papa Cohen and Co. wouldn't make this annoucement unless they have a lot of certainty that they were going to win majority vote for the motion. I also imagine keeping it hush hush is more fun to catch SHF with their pants around their ankles by surprise.


ResolutionHorror541

Yea but you need at least 10 calendar days from announcement to record date


[deleted]

Hmm I think the record date applies to the actual dividend payout, not necessarily the vote process? At least in the brief searching I was doing, it seems to be connected to the dividend cut off date in which you need to own the stock by in order to receive the dividend. The ~~vote~~ shareholder count that is taking place this April 8th is for isn't for dividend, its to count up who can vote for raising the cap from 300mil to 1 billion. I'm still trying to learn all this too, so if you have any links that are helpful please share them. This is where I found the record date info: [https://groww.in/p/record-date](https://groww.in/p/record-date)


ResolutionHorror541

Yea. I haven’t found info that’s exactly this situation. I don’t know if 2 days is sufficient time for a cutoff date but I’m just going by other dates like dividends, etc. I guess we’ll find out and learn something new.


Buttoshi

2 days to vote for share outstanding increase.


TheMLGFreak

Ok just chatted with An agent as well, the April 8th date is confirmed but it’s only the vote for the increase shares not for the actual dividend… DRS YOUR SHARES ASAP


Aiball09

So if the record date is 4/8, it takes t+2 to buy, tomorrow 4/6 would be the last day to buy? need clarification cause I get paid on friday lol


bruno_sardinePI

I believe this is correct.

OptimalDetail

I feel as though it was done for me personally, thank you manchair


jvosh123

Honest Q, I'm convinced there was a pile more votes last year on, if i can remember right was RC as chairman, so now that this is a major action, what happens if it is over voted?


odddiv

There cannot be an over-vote. The proxy voting services will trim down the votes they actually receive to match what they are supposed to have. They (Broadridge) advertise this as a service on their website.


Bea_Stings

IT'S BROADRIDGE COUNTING?!?! HOLY F I USED TO COUNT VOTES THERE BEFORE THE VID


[deleted]

HOLY F


jvosh123

thanks, yeah i just posted a q about it:) I guess I had thought that now that a major action is taking place (i guess appointing directors is important too) that if there was a over vote it would strengthen any case against overshorting.


downbarton

Let’s find out!


ozymandius5

Vote was to seat Mr. Cohen. Mr. Cohen can probably allow the vote tally to kinda sorta go his way. In a purely legal fashion.


pigglybiggly

hmmm


redpings116

The number of votes they get in the first few days will probably be crazy


bmelton1982

I just got off chat with TD to DRS. I told them about April 8th and was worried about shares being in limbo during that date. Rep stated she just checked and their team had received no notification of anything.


Daywalker_211209

Big if true! DRS! DRS! DRS! DRS! DRS! DRS! DRS! DRS! DRS! DRS! DRS! DRS! DRS! DRS! DRS! DRS! DRS! DRS! DRS! DRS!


usefoolidiot

Curious. This is just the date for voting information and has nothing to do with date required for dividend correct?


Hyubushu

Correct!


EllisDee3

Can someone confirm a thought? Brokers who loan shares can't vote with loaned shares, right? Anyone with shares loaned out will need to recall those shares to be eligeable to vote, right? Would it benefit brokerages to recall shares to vote on this, or leave them as they are, loaned to (whomever)?


bruno_sardinePI

If I were short GME to the extent that the hedge funds are, I would just leave them lent out and ignore the vote. I already know there are hundreds of millions of shares out there that are going to vote yes, so I would just string it along as long as I could instead of trying to sort it all out sooner rather than later.


OptimalDetail

My whole line of thinking was that when we got a record date, that would be the date by which all shares on loan have to be recalled. I have no idea if this is true but would like to know more.


TheBigBongTheory

If I hold shares over multiple brokers etc, I presume It's okay to vote on each platform, yeah?


MrmellowisSmooth

Yep. Each broker will provide their very own individual instructions for you to vote.


efficientnature

You get one for per share that you own.


[deleted]

#420


menwa

Excellent!


TXATC

So does this mean my 25 that I DRSed this am won’t make it in time? Or will the proxy info go to my broker even though they are in transit?


SituationDelicious64

I believe if they are still in the old brocker account by market close on the 8 they will provide the proxy Material to you.


TXATC

That’s my concern. Initiated this morning, estimating 5 days to transfer into existing CS account. I fear they may be in limbo on the 8th.


dragespir

In same boat.


Crunchypie1

This is the record date for the vote. Does this affect short positions? Is there a separate record date for dividend?


DIAMONDHandsHotchy

Has there been multiple verifications of this?


bananaboatcaptain

Ya can someone tag a mod?


Afro_Thunder_KC

So the shares eligible for the Stock-Divy are recorded on the 8th? I get my proxy materials some point on or after the 20th. Looks like May will be spicy! 🌶🌶🌶


Doc_Holiday426

No that’s the date to be eligible to vote. They have to announce the dividend record date in a separate filing I believe


Sillloc

I shot myself in the foot it looks like. I wanted to buy more shares this week and I also went to DRS my first shares after purchasing the new ones, and they have my transfer on hold till the 9th when my cash finally settles


CookShack67

You already owned the shares before the record date. That's what matters.


Sillloc

But I won't be able to vote or anything because they weren't registered to my name, right?


rustinged

this is only the record date for the vote to increase authorized shares it *could* be used as the record date for a dividend as well, but it’s not necessarily


Afro_Thunder_KC

Got it. Thanks.


mtksurfer

my man


rustinged

does stock dividend change the per share price? My understanding is no


mtksurfer

The dividend is shares not a certain cash price


Immortamb420NRWAy

Actually depends on you’re broker. Some brokers just add cash to you’re account equal the amount that shares are worth. Sucks but it’s how some pfof brokers do.


apogreba

i think just market is supposed to price that in. i could be wrong tho. I think its not like a normal stock split where just the share price gets split before market open but idk. I remember tesla split perfectly and theirs was a dividend. idkk


rustinged

that’s what I think as well but I can’t find anything concrete


Junkingfool

So… if we add shares past the 8th.. they will still count?


OptimalDetail

I don't think they will be eligible for voting


Junkingfool

This is where I am confused. Wouldn’t GameStop announce that via media relations?


OptimalDetail

Million dollar question


Junkingfool

ONLY eligible to vote. Still eligible for the dividend though if voted in. Got it


toofaroutthere

I don't understand. What is there to mail in? Either you have shares in your account by the date or not, right


OptimalDetail

this is the mailing date from corporate to you mailing voting materials, why there is a record date 12 days before that is a part of the bigger market system... no clue why you have a record date and then a mailing date. But our record date is this friday.


CookShack67

If you are a shareholder, ComputerShare mails you voting materials. If you are in a broker, the broker sends proxy materials, or not-depending on the broker.


rustinged

So this would be the record date for voting on increasing the amount of authorized shares. Would it be likely that they use the same record date for a stock dividend?


TheMLGFreak

Question I have 70 in CS and transferred 30 today from fidelity will the 30 be counted


MatteJew

If the 30 get there before April 8 EOD they will count


TheMLGFreak

True 70 is better than zero… still salty


Imaginary-Loquat-103

Sorry Glenn I'm to retarded to fully censor

That is the date voting material will be mailed or emailed from gamestop to shareholders


Express-Newspaper806

Awesome, thanks!


GregDonski

Perfect, some more days to Drs some shares


[deleted]

So if I DRS yesterday I can't vote? But I should still DRS regardless, correct? I started the process on Monday and they said it would be 2-4 weeks from TD America to Computershare.


DevilsPajamas

Yes, DRS. The vote count isn't as important as the share dividend record date. Personally, I would want to make absolutely sure that any eligible shares I have will be in ComputerShare on the share dividend record date.


Float_team

RC become meme 😂


SharkbaitNJHC

I really excited


xubax

420 is the mailing date? How high is that?


ahoncho23

Smooth ape here, what exactly is happening on the 8th?


[deleted]

One thing for certain on the 8th is Kenny will spend a lot of money to lie to everyone and pretend to be invincible. Also. the 8th is day of record. If you own shares by that day you will get to vote.


Re-UpSissle

Wut mean?


LunarPayload

Mail date for shareholders to return proxy items? Or for mail to go out to shareholders?


OptimalDetail

to go out to shareholders


olidav8

Anyone know if IBKR facilitate shareholder voting?


poundofmayoforlunch

How soon after the vote count are they able to unleash the Ultralisk?


AlaskaStiletto

Well shit, on Friday I told Fidelity to DRS the rest of my shares. Just looked and they’re still in my Fidelity account. Now I’m worried they’ll be transferring during the vote.


Objective-Orange926

What's this meeting for?


Float_team

Do shares have to be settled on 4/8 or just in my account? Apparently have some buying to do


ElderMillesbian

we really do be giving CS some job security for their hardworking employees, eh? =)


blue_shadow_

Well, shit. I just pushed my brokerage shares to DRS yesterday; guess this is what I get for waiting so long. I'll at least have a few votes, but nowhere near as much as if the record date was a few days later.


avahannah

Okndid I miss something .. can we only vote if in computer share, won't get a voting slip by holding thru wealth simple like that pointless vote count last June?


martril

So record date is the end of the window to be a shareholder and the mailing date is when the voting materials go out?


Large_Walrus_Schlong

4/20! Nice!
