On October 26, 2016, the Board of Directors of Exxon Mobil Corporation (the “Corporation”) amended the Corporation’s By-Laws, effective November 1, 2016, to implement proxy access and add an advance notice provision.
New Section 8 of Article I of the By-Laws implements proxy access and permits a shareholder or group of up to 20 shareholders owning 3% or more of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years to nominate and include in the Corporation’s proxy materials director nominees constituting up to the greater of 20% of the Board or two individuals, provided the shareholder(s) and the nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified in the By-Laws. New Section 9 of Article I of the By-Laws adds an advance notice provision for nominating persons for the Board at an annual meeting of shareholders other than through the proxy access provisions of Article I, Section 8, or at a special meeting if the election of directors is included as business to be brought before the special meeting in the Corporation’s notice of meeting.
The above description of the amendments to the By-Laws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the By-Laws filed as Exhibit 3(ii) to this Report. |
