It incorporates blue information lines to highlight mandatory and non-mandatory events, such as dividends and take-overs. Users are prompted to answer specific questions related to dividends, rights issues, foreign investments, take-overs, non-qualifying offshore funds, and corporate bonds. The Proof format is easily identified by the "PROOF" annotation and may require multiple prints for accuracy.
