Proposal 4: Improve our Catch-22 Proxy Access

Based on the fact that there has not been one proxy access candidate at the more than 500 major company that have provided for such a candidate since 2015, our company has no reasonable expectation of a proxy access candidate during the next 2000 years.

It is time to take at least the baby step in this proposal to tilt the balance ever so slightly in favor of shareholders. This proposal will simply give more shareholders the opportunity to back a proxy access director candidate.

Hundreds of recent annual meeting proxies have stressed that flexibility is good for management. Flexibility is also good for shareholders. Shareholders need the flexibility to assemble as many shares who may be necessary to have owed 3% of company stock for an unbroken 3-years from as many shareholders as necessary to back a proxy access candidate that will appear on the management annual meeting ballot.

This proposal does not increase the number of shares that management would screen. It only means that more shareholders with smaller holdings can back a proxy access candidate. This would help ensure that a proxy access candidate has broad diverse support. Hundreds of recent annual meeting proxies have stressed that broad support is beneficial for management.

The screening process can be outsourced to a low cost vendor. Plus the proxy access candidate is not guaranteed election. The candidate has to compete with our established directors and get more votes than one established director. Even if a proxy access candidate is not elected the presence of a proxy access candidate can be a great incentive for our directors to perform better. It is win-win for everyone.
