Kindly assist me with the following question, I don't understand it better.

Question 1:

As we've previously stated, Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act "was intended to promote the free exercise of stockholders' voting rights" by requiring that proxies be solicited with a "explanation to the stockholder of the real nature of the questions for which authority to cast his vote is sought." H. R. Rep. No. 1383, 73d Cong., 2d Sess., 14 (1934); S. Rep. No. 792, 73d Cong., 2d Sess., 12 (1934); Mills v. Electric Auto-Lite Co., 396 U. S. 375, 381 (1970), quoting H. R. Rep. No. 1383, 73d Cong., 2d Sess., 14 (1934 (1934). 377 U.S. 426, 431; J. I. Case Co. v. Borak, 377 U.S. 426, 431; J. I. Case Co. v. Borak, 377 U.S. 426, (1964). The Court ruled in Borak that the extensive remedial intentions of 14 (a) necessitated establishment of an implicit private right of action for violations of the provision under 27 of the Securities Exchange Act, 15 U. S. C. 78aa. In Mills, we endeavored to explain the elements of a private cause of action for infringement of 14 to some extent (a). We decided that there was no need to show that the asserted fault in the proxy statement had a decisive influence on the voting in a litigation challenging the validity of a proxy statement soliciting votes in support of a merger under Section 14(a) and Rule 14a-9. We found that if "the proxy solicitation itself... was a crucial link in the execution of the transaction," the causal relationship between violation and injury is properly established if "the misrepresentation or omission was material." 396 U.S. 385, 396 U.S. 396 U.S. 396 U.S. 396 The significance of the meaning assigned to the concept of materiality increases after Mills.
