What is being voted on this year?
The summary of

our Form 10-K, prior to voting.

|
| PROPOSAL |
|
RECOMMENDATION |
|
|
| 1. Election of Directors |
|
|
|
|
| Elect 12 directors to hold office until the 2025 Annual Meeting. |
|
|
|
|
| The Nominating & ESG Committee has recommended, and the Board has nominated, 12 directors for election at the Annual Meeting to hold office until the 2025 Annual Meeting. We have built a
highly engaged, independent Board with broad and diverse experience that is committed to representing the long-term interests of our shareholders. |
|
FOR EACH OF THE 12 DIRECTOR NOMINEES |
|
|
| 2. Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation |
|
|
|
|
| Approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the 2023 compensation of the Company’s NEOs. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
FOR |
|
|
| Our Board and the Management Compensation Committee are committed to executive compensation programs that align with our strategic priorities, business objectives, and shareholder interests.
Compensation decisions are based on Nasdaq’s financial and operational performance and reflect a continued emphasis on variable, at-risk compensation paid over the long-term. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
|
|
|
|
| Ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
FOR |
|
|
| The Audit & Risk Committee is directly responsible for the annual review, compensation, retention, and oversight of our independent external auditor. The Audit & Risk Committee, and our
Board, believe that the continued retention of Ernst & Young LLP is in the best interests of Nasdaq and its shareholders. |
|
|
|
|
| 4. Shareholder Proposal – “Special Shareholder Meeting Improvement” |
|
|
|
|
| A shareholder proposal, if properly presented at the meeting, requesting amendment of the Company’s governing documents to lower the stock ownership threshold to call a special meeting of shareholders. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
AGAINST |
|
|
| We currently provide a shareholder-friendly right for shareholders to call a special meeting. The proposed decrease in the percentage of shares required to call a special meeting from the current 15%
to 10% is unnecessary and not in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders. Moreover, shareholders voted on a substantially similar shareholder proposal at our 2022 Annual Meeting and decisively
voted against the shareholder proposal. |
