Shareholder Proposals
Item 4
Adopt a written-consent right allowing shareholders holding the minimum votes required to authorize action at a fully attended meeting to act by written consent.
The proposal requests that the Board amend the Company's governing documents to permit shareholders to take action by written consent when they hold the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize the same action at a meeting where all shareholders entitled to vote were present. The proponent states this would provide an additional, timely mechanism—alongside the existing special-meeting right—to present matters for stockholder consideration between annual meetings and enable shareholders to initiate any appropriate topic for written consent. The supporting statement references prior proxy votes on special meeting thresholds (25% adopted by the Board, 10% stockholder proposal received 44% support) and a 56% vote in favor of a 2025 political spending disclosure proposal as context for seeking this additional shareholder tool. The request asks that there be no unnecessary restrictions based on holding period or the method by which shares are held.
