I do not support this proposal. Voting rights should remain with parties who have invested fully in the long term future of a company by buying shares and owning them directly. Holders of derivatives are not directly invested in a company and should hold no rights. Cynically one could influence the company's future by voting on company decisions despite not having the company's best interests in mind. Furthermore this would dilute the voting power of true shareholders. The number of shares is public and known; the number of derivatives is unknown and can be many times the number of shares.
