WHITEHELM’S PROXY VOTING POLICY

1. Where delegated to do so, Whitehelm will vote or instruct the custodian to vote or recommend the client to vote on all matters brought before Shareholders, whether of routine nature or of special consideration.

2. For listed securities, recommendations in respect to all matters and matters of special consideration will be approved by the Portfolio Manager, with the voting record to be reviewed by the Whitehelm Capital Listed Strategies Investment Committee on a regular basis. The Portfolio Manager will monitor relevant corporate events, and ensure that the exercise of voting rights is in accordance with the investment objectives and policy of the client, and that voting rights are exercised for the exclusive benefit of that client.

3. Where practicable, all approved voting recommendations will be actioned by Whitehelm or transmitted to the custodian or client, as relevant, in sufficient time for the vote to be duly registered. Where required, a record of voting shall be maintained.

4. All voting recommendations will be based on the commercial interests of the client, which includes environmental, social and governance considerations.

5. Whitehelm will support resolutions which are aimed at appropriately increasing transparency and improving management of environmental, social and governance issues.

SUMMARY

Proxy voting is a key element of company engagement and Whitehelm’s approach to being a responsible asset manager. Where possible, all proxies are voted. Whitehelm utilises the ISS proxy voting service.

Whitehelm reviews every resolution. In deciding how to vote on behalf of the Listed Core Infrastructure Fund investors, Whitehelm forms its own views, using our own research, and also the ISS Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) guidelines, which provides research and voting recommendations which more directly incorporate ESG factors than the standard ISS guidelines.

As part of our proxy voting policy, Whitehelm will support all resolutions which are aimed at appropriately increasing transparency and improving management of environmental, social and governance issues.

This report details Whitehelm Capital’s exercise of voting rights for the Whitehelm Listed Core Infrastructure Fund during the 12 months from 30 September 2017 to 30 September 2018.

• 100% of eligible proxies were voted;

• Votes were cast on 571 resolutions at 49 annual and special meetings;

• 106 resolutions (19%) were voted against management recommendation or withheld. 461 votes (81%) were cast in line with the management recommendation. 1% had no management recommendation.

• The majority of the 106 resolutions which were voted against management recommendation or withheld related to board member re-elections and the independence of the nominees. 24 of these were related to remuneration practices, including the issuance of restricted stock; and 4 were shareholder resolutions, discussed below.

• There were four resolutions raised by shareholders relating to environmental, social or governance issues, all at US domiciled firms, and Whitehelm voted in favour of these. They were:

– Duke Energy Corporation: a resolution that the Board ‘provide a report, updated annually, that discloses a description of its lobbying-related management oversight and its direct and indirect lobbying policies and expenditures’. This resolution failed to gain a majority vote, but did receive 33.5% of the vote.

– Ameren Corporation: a resolution that the Board ‘prepare a complete report on the company’s efforts, above and beyond current compliance, to identify and reduce environmental and health hazards associated with past, present and future handling of coal combustion residuals, and how those efforts may reduce legal, reputational and financial risks to the company’. This shareholder resolution was passed, receiving 53.2% of shareholder votes, a good outcome given the issues surrounding the handling and clean up of coal ash waste.

– Norfolk Southern Corporation: a resolution to provide shareholders the right to act via written consent, affording shareholders an additional means of acting in between annual meetings. Lowering the voting requirement to act by written consent would supplement shareholders current right to call a special meeting. This resolution was not successful, however did gain 41.8% of the vote.

– Union Pacific Corporation: a resolution that the Chair of the Board of Directors, whenever possible, to be an independent member of the Board. Currently Lance Fritz serves as both CEO and Chair. This resolution did not obtain a majority of the vote, but did receive 27.8% support.

• Whitehelm voted against the executive remuneration policies, or elements of the policy, of 16 companies (across a total of 24 resolutions). In the majority of cases this was due to a lack of transparency, and in some cases, poor alignment of incentives with shareholder outcomes.

For five of the 16 companies, Whitehelm voted against a company resolution despite a ‘For’ recommendation from ISS, on the basis of absolute pay excess. In assessing executive remuneration, ISS tends not to address absolute pay levels, generally assessing the structure and shareholder alignment of remuneration on a peer relative basis. In the cases of Union Pacific Corporation, Norfolk Southern Corporation, Duke Energy Corporation, Consolidated Edison Inc, and Canadian National Railway Company, Whitehelm Capital voted against the ratification of executive compensation on the basis that the absolute level of CEO remuneration was excessive.

These votes were not binding, being advisory votes only. The highest ‘against’ vote was received by Duke Energy, with 18.2% of shareholders voting against the remuneration plan. The average percentage vote against the remuneration policies of these companies was fairly low at 7.5%. This is not surprising given that the large proxy advisers supported them, however is an increase in negative votes over prior years. This trend fits with the broader proxy voting trends reported by ISS and other research which found that support for say-on-pay resolutions remained high, but declined approximately 1%1 in the US compared to 2017.

2018 was also the first year US companies reported the CEO to median employee ratio. Duke Energy was the highest, reporting CEO compensation as 175 times the median employee pay of USD$122,365, significantly higher than the US Utility sector average of 91 times2. The railroad companies Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern CEO compensation was also above 100 times the median employee, although the sector average multiple is higher as the median worker compensation for the industry is lower.
