Shareholder Proposal — Adopt a Shareholder Right to Call a Special Shareholder Meeting
|
|
|
Proposal 5 — Adopt a Shareholder Right to Call a Special Shareholder Meeting
|
|
|
|
|
|
Shareholders ask our board to take the steps necessary to amend the appropriate company governing documents to give the owners of a combined 10% of our outstanding common stock the power to call a special shareholder meeting (or the lowest percentage according to state law) regardless of length of stock ownership also in accordance with state law. And to enable street name shareholders and non street name shareholder to have as much equal rights in calling for a special shareholder meeting as allowed by state law. This includes making the necessary changes in plain English.
|
|
|
Calling for a special shareholder meeting is hardly ever used by shareholders but the main point of the right to call for a special shareholder meeting is that it gives shareholders at least significant standing to engage effectively with management.
|
|
|
Management will have an incentive to genuinely engage with shareholders instead of stonewalling if shareholders have a realistic Plan B option of calling a special shareholder meeting. Often the management of a company will claim that shareholders have multiple means to communicate with management — but in most cases these are low impact means that are as effective as mailing a post card to the CEO. A reasonable shareholder right to call a special shareholder meeting is an important step for effective shareholder engagement with management.
|
|
|
Since a special shareholder meeting can be called to replace a director, adoption of this proposal could foster better performance by our directors. For instance Mark Millett, Chairman & CEO, James Marcuccilli, Lead Director and Bradley Seaman, Audit Committee Member each received 3-times the withheld votes as certain other Steel Dynamics directors.
|
|
|
With the widespread use of online shareholder meetings it is much easier for management to conduct a special shareholder meeting and our bylaws thus need to be updated accordingly.
