Preliminary Annual Meeting Proxy
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The company should disclose that shareholders really need to get fired up about the attached proposal IV for it to have any chance – given the mild level of management support and the need for approval from 67% of shares outstanding.
Management could not even get 67% support for its 2012 say on pay proposal – only 62% per the attachment.
Sincerely,
John Chevedden
