A: Your question asks the reader to determine whether your statement of a facts is actually true or false. Due to the fact that we, the readers, do not know whether the facts occurred we, therefore, cannot answer your statement.

If you are asking whether proxy statements may be provided to shareholders prior to a meeting, the question would be answered in the affirmative. Chapter 607, Florida Statutes regulates corporations in Florida and it is titled the "Florida Business Corporation Act". Specifically, section 607.0705, Fla. Stat., concerns "proxy statements" as they relate to requirements of a corporation noticing its meetings. Section 607.0705, Fla. Stat. may be viewed, for free, at: http://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2014/607.0705 .

Feel free to clarify your question if the above response has not provided enough detail to help you with your situation.
