There being no further nominations, the nominations are now declared closed. I note that the corporation has adopted a majority voting policy. Pursuant to the policy, at meetings of the shareholder at which the directors are to be elected, shareholders are asked to vote in favor of or withhold from voting for each nominee separately. If with respect to any particular nominee, the number of votes withheld exceeds the votes cast in favor of the nominee, then pursuant to the policy, the nominee shall be considered not to have received the support of the shareholders, even though duly elected as a matter of corporate law. An individual who is considered under the majority voting policy not to have the support or competence of the shareholder is expected forthwith to submit his or her resignation from the board. Upon receiving such resignation, the nominating and corporate governance committee of the will consider it and make a recommendation to the board on whether or not to accept the resignation. Will someone move that these seven directors be elected as the directors of the corporation to hold office until the next annual meeting of the shareholders or until their successors are elected or appointed?
