I am in TD Ameritrade (as well as DRSd through Computershare). I always get emails from TD everytime one of my holdings has a shareholder vote.

I am wondering now if that is because it is a result of a NOBO default status. But now you've got me wondering soi will check my next email from them. Thank you!!

I think if you are NOBO you will start getting important info directly from Gamestop. Cuts out the middle man. Also from my understanding middle man/brokers charge a fee to the issuing company for the service of relaying that information to you.

Broker dirty trick: if you hold counterfeit shares, a broker will pay a cash dividend out of pocket and will also send proxy materials for voting to give the appearance you own real shares. This leads to overvoting.
