14 2월 2012 - 6:30AM
Business Wire
The Western Union Company (NYSE: WU) announced today that it
intends to include in its proxy statement for its 2012 annual
meeting of stockholders a management proposal recommending that the
Company’s stockholders approve the elimination of the Company’s
classified board structure.
If the proposal is approved by the stockholders,
declassification of the board will be implemented on a phase-out
basis such that directors would start to be elected to a one-year
term beginning with the directors elected at the Company’s 2013
annual meeting of stockholders. The full text of the proposal will
be included in the Company’s proxy statement to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission later this year.
In light of the Company’s plan to declassify its board and its
ongoing assessment of whether “proxy access” should be included in
the Company’s corporate governance structure, the Company also
announced that it no longer intends to submit for stockholder vote
at its 2012 annual meeting a management proposal to implement a
form of proxy access.
