In the next few days you will receive a package from Nationwide building society containing the annaul report and accounts. There is also a ballot paper.
Instead of throwing this away i would suggest that you read it closely. Mr Alan Debenham is standing as a nominated member on behalf of all Nationwide customers. He is an independant who has the needs of Nationwides customers at heart. He has stood for election in the past and has received much support but unfortunately Nationwides board of directors dont want him on the board. We can only draw our own conclusions as to why!.
To try and prevent his election, they have structured the ballot papers in such a way as to try and ensure that he doesnt receive many votes!.
Look at your paper carefully. You dont need to vote for 4 directors. You can just put ONE cross next to Mr Debenhams name and leave the rest blank,ensure you sign and date it and post it in good time. While your at it,check the directors remunerations. The chief exec paid himself nearly £1m pounds this year.
