I just called Fidelity, I don't have any proxy voting listed currently, hopefully it is a staggered rollout and I will see an email soon so I can vote to extend.
I just called Saratoga Proxy @888-368-0379
Joe Mills (cell- 201-300-7344) called me back and explained the proxy emails for DWAC should go out to brokers by Tuesday next week. If I/you don’t receive anything by Tuesday Aug 30th, then call Saratoga and ask for him or call his cell.
Can vote over the phone. Also if you have 2 different accounts they’re each treated separately, so would need to vote twice.
You can log in to your fidelity.com page (not the app), select "Accounts and Trade" in the green banner then select "Statements" from the drop down. Once you land on the statements page look at top of the page but below the green and locate the tabs. Select the "Proxy Material" tab. Mine is already available and I see no reason you shouldn't see yours unless you purchased your securities after the cut-off date OR you own DWACW (warrants). Warrants do NOT have voting rights therefore you will not get that proxy/vote material.
I checked that earlier today after call with Fidelity. I own dwac not dwacw. strange, I will check again. Did you vote to extend already, was it inline and easy to do?
I apologize I must have quickly scanned the available material and didn't realize the proxy material available for vote was for my CFVI/Rumble position. It looks like DWAC material is not yet available.
In regard to the ease of vote. Yes it's user friendly. Once you receive it you will select the "vote" link to the right. You get a pop redirect confirmation. Once redirected to the third party proxy vote page you will be able to vote on each proposal. You'll be able to look over the full detail proxy material which would include the proposed items. Once cast you should be able to change your vote up until the deadline if you decide to do so.
Not sure what vote method will be used but I would get familiar with the two methods if your not already. Cumulative VS Statutory. I forgot if only one proposal is up for vote or many.
ok thanks, how do I vote, I haven't received any information, should I call Fidelity?
Check your email. Fidelity will typically send out a notification a holding needs a vote.

Yeh, people say what they will about Fidelity but I've never known them to miss something important as a shareholder vote request.
sounds like it will hit brokerages like fidelity next week.
I use them and haven't gotten one either.
someone just told me they should get to us by Tuesday.
I got the email about the tender, but not the voting, I guess I will call in.
I just went through this with my CFVI shares. Ignore the tender offer, you will get the PROXY vote notice about a week later.
The CFVI vote was on the merger and board members for the new RUM.
This DWAC vote is probably an extension vote.
