Item 8.01. Other Events.
Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the Committee), the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously adopted an amendment to the Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines, effective July 1, 2015, to provide for a majority voting policy applicable to uncontested elections of directors.
Pursuant to the policy, any incumbent director nominee who receives a greater number of votes against his or her election than votes for such election at an annual meeting will promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors.
The Committee will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors as to whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation. The Board of Directors must act on the tendered resignation, taking into account the Committees recommendation, within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results. In reaching its decision, the Board of Directors may consider any factors it considers appropriate and relevant, including (i) the stated reasons, if any, why stockholders withheld their votes, (ii) possible alternatives for curing the underlying cause of the withheld votes, (iii) the directors tenure, (iv) the directors qualifications, (v) the directors past and expected future contributions to the Company, (vi) the overall composition of the Board of Directors, and (vii) whether accepting the tendered resignation would cause the Company to fail to meet any applicable rule or regulation, including under the New York Stock Exchange listing requirements and federal securities laws. The Board of Directors will promptly disclose its decision regarding the tendered resignation, including its rationale for accepting or rejecting the tendered resignation, in a report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
This description of the amendment to the Corporate Governance Guidelines is only a summary. The full text of the Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines, as amended to reflect the adoption of the majority voting policy, is available on the Investors Corporate Governance section of the Companys website at www.gcainc.com.
