VA.-- Weirton Steel Corp. today issued a reminder to shareholders about deadlines to vote their proxies for the proposed changes to the company's charter and bylaws. ESOP shareholders who hold common and/or preferred stock have until Dec. 9, at 5 p.m., to vote their shares. If ESOP shareholders do not vote, the ESOP trustee will vote their shares in the same ratio as other ESOP shareholders have voted. Beneficial owners of common stock -- those who hold shares in a broker, bank or other nominee account -- may vote their shares up until the time of the annual meeting, which will be held Dec. 11, beginning at 6 p.m., at the Serbian-American Cultural Center, Colliers Way, Weirton. Unlike a ballot for government officeholders and issues, if beneficial owners of common stock fail to vote, their abstentions count as if they were 'no' votes," according to officials of the company, the Independent Steelworkers Union and the Independent Guard Union.
