Proposals for Annual Meeting*

 

Shareholder proposals intended for presentation at the annual meeting of shareholders must comply as respects time of submission, contents, and otherwise with Rule 14a-8 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time (whether or not the provisions of Rule 14a-8 are then applicable to the Corporation). Any shareholder proposal that is advisory or predatory in nature and which requests the Board of Directors to take any action shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote for the election of directors in order for any resolution, shareholder referendum, or the like embodying such proposal to be adopted.
