that a shareholder making the director nomination(s) pursuant to Rule 14a-19 (i) represent whether such shareholder intends to solicit the holders of shares of the Company’s common stock representing at least 67% of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote on the election of directors and (ii) provide reasonable evidence that it has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19;
•Provide that if a shareholder does not comply with Rule 14a-19, the Company will disregard proxies and votes for such shareholder’s nominees;
•Require that any shareholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies
from other shareholders must use a proxy card color other than white; and
•Clarify (i) the circumstances under which annual and special meetings of the shareholders of the Company may be adjourned or postponed and (ii) the ability of the Board and the person serving as chairman of a meeting of the shareholders of the Company to adopt the rules and regulations for the conduct of such meeting.
