Shareholder Proposals

Item 6
G
Allow shareholders owning 10% of outstanding shares to call a special shareholder meeting without a minimum holding period.

Requests the Board amend governing documents to permit shareholders holding 10% of the company’s outstanding common stock to call a special shareholder meeting, and to allow such meetings to be conducted online. The proposal prohibits any rule that would require a minimum holding period (a “poison pill” style limitation) for shares to participate in calling that meeting. The proponent argues that the 10% threshold is not too low, that shareholder‑requested special meetings are rare, and that online meeting capabilities reduce logistical burdens. The submission cites prior shareholder support for similar proposals at other companies as precedent.
