The information circular, or proxy circular, is the document mailed or otherwise made available to shareholders (along with a meeting notice and proxy card if applicable) and filed with securities regulators preceding an annual or special meeting of company shareholders. Amongst other things, the information circular generally sets forth information with respect to matters which include who can vote at the meeting, the business of the meeting, corporate governance, executive and board composition and compensation, and any proposals that may be submitted by shareholders.
