Toshiba Says More Than 1,000 Postal Votes Uncounted At Meeting

They are also likely to highlight nagging worries about the treatment of foreign activist investors at Toshiba’s contentious July 31 shareholders meeting.

Toshiba said that 1,139 voting forms, representing a combined 1.3% stake, were left out for its annual meeting even though they were delivered before the July 30 deadline to Sumitomo Mitsui Trust, its shareholder registry administrator.

Sumitomo Mitsui Trust said the vote-counting problem may have happened at other clients, because it uses the same vote-counting procedure.

Toshiba said it will continue its investigation and take appropriate action.
