Shareholder Proposals

Item 4
G
Amend governing documents to permit shareholders holding the minimum number of votes required to act by written consent to initiate and approve actions without requiring a meeting.

The proposal requests that the board amend the company’s organizational documents to allow shareholders to take action by written consent when they hold the minimum number of votes that would be required to authorize the same action at a meeting where all shareholders entitled to vote were present and voting. It seeks to eliminate additional restrictions such as minimum ownership duration or the method of shareholding, and explicitly allows shareholders to initiate topics via written consent. The proponent argues the change is needed because Pennsylvania law and the company’s bylaws set a 25% threshold to call a special meeting, which the proponent views as a barrier, and cites recent stock underperformance and prior shareholder votes on governance and political spending as reasons to increase shareholder leverage. If adopted, the amendment would provide an alternative mechanism to convene decisive shareholder action outside of formal meetings.
