Q. What vote is required to approve each proposal?
A. The following table describes the voting requirements for each proposal:
Item 1 — Election of Directors
In February 2009, the Board amended the Company’s By-laws to adopt a
majority voting standard for uncontested director elections. Because the number
of nominees properly nominated for the Annual Meeting is the same as the
number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting, the 2010 election of
directors is an uncontested election.
To be elected in an uncontested election, a director nominee must be elected by
a majority of the votes cast with respect to that director nominee. A majority of
the votes cast means that the number of votes cast FOR a nominee’s election
must exceed the number of votes cast AGAINST the nominee’s election. Each
nominee receiving more votes FOR his or her election than votes AGAINST his
or her election will be elected.
Item 2 — Ratification of the Audit Committee’s
Selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
as our Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
To be approved, this proposal must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of
the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.
Item 3 — Approval of Amendment to, and Re-
approval of the Material Terms of, the 2005
Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan
To be approved, this proposal must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of
the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.
Item 4 — Approval of Amendment to, and Re-
approval of the Material Terms of, the
Executive Compensation for Excellence
and Leadership (EXCEL) Plan
To be approved, this proposal must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of
the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.
Q. Is my vote confidential?
A. Yes. Only the inspectors of election and certain individuals who help with processing and counting the votes have access to your
vote. Directors and employees of the Company may see your vote only if the Company needs to defend itself against a claim or
if there is a proxy solicitation by someone other than the Company. Therefore, please do not write any comments on your proxy
card.
Q. Who will count the vote?
A. Computershare Trust Company, N.A. will count the vote. Its representative will serve as the inspector of election.
Q. Who can attend the Annual Meeting?
A. If the records of the Company show that you held your shares as of the close of business on March 15, 2010, the record date for
the Annual Meeting, you can attend the Annual Meeting. Seating, however, is limited. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will be
on a first-come, first-served basis, upon arrival at the Annual Meeting. Photographs may be taken and videotaping may be
conducted at the Annual Meeting by the Company. We may use these images in publications. If you attend the Annual Meeting,
we assume we have your permission to use your image.
