As for a separate vote, the seven banks now have a separate vote tied to their proxy, meaning that they list the names of all of their directors on their proxy and shareholders are free to vote for one of them, or to vote as a block.
Quant au vote distinct, les sept banques ont maintenant un vote distinct sur leur procuration, c'est-à-dire qu'ils mettent les noms de tous les administrateurs et les actionnaires peuvent, à loisir, choisir l'un ou l'autre ou voter en bloc.
