• | Elected 10 members of the Board of Directors; |
• | Ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's principal independent accountants for 2019; |
• | Approved, on an advisory basis, named executive officer compensation; and |
• | A shareholder proposal, which requests that the board of directors take the steps necessary to change the voting requirements in the company’s governing documents that call for a greater than simple majority, received a majority of the votes cast. Today’s vote on the shareholder proposal, however, does not change the current voting standards. This change would require an amendment to the company’s certificate of incorporation, which must be approved by holders of at least 80 percent of the company’s outstanding common stock. |
