82. Every person who solicits proxies for a meeting of holders of voting securities of a reporting issuer shall send to the persons solicited and to the Commission a circular prepared in the form prescribed by regulation.
This rule also applies to any form of solicitation of security holders to execute, withhold or revoke a proxy and to the sending of forms under section 81.
Even where the Act under which it is incorporated prohibits the soliciting of proxies, a reporting issuer must send the circular contemplated in this section to all its registered holders other than holders of debt securities.
