What seev.004 is for

The MeetingInstruction message is sent by a party holding the right to vote to an intermediary, the issuer or its agent to request the receiving party to act upon one or several instructions.

The MeetingInstruction message is used to vote, to require attendance to a meeting, to request registration of securities, and assign a proxy. One instruction or multiple instructions can be carried within the same message.

Once the message is sent, it cannot be modified. It must be cancelled by a MeetingInstructionCancellationRequest. Only after receipt of a confirmed cancelled status via the

MeetingInstructionStatus message, a new MeetingInstruction message can be sent.

This message definition is intended for use with the Business Application Header (BAH).

Definition from the ISO 20022 e-Repository, release of 24 April 2025.
