<h2>Resolution Text</h2>
<p>Shareholders ask our Board of Directors to remove the current provision that considers the voice of certain Church &amp; Dwight shareholders as non-shareholders. Currently all shares not held for one continuous year are considered non-shareholders if they seek to call for a special shareholder meeting on an important matter.</p>
<p>The current one-year exclusion for all shares held for less than one continuous year makes the current so-called shareholder right to call for a special shareholder meeting useless. There is no point to have useless right on the books of CHD.</p>
<p>The reason to enable all shareholders to call for a special shareholder meeting is to allow one shareholder or a group of shareholders to quickly acquire&nbsp;CHD&nbsp;shares to equal the challenging 25% share ownership requirement of all shares outstanding to call for a special shareholder meeting when there is an urgent matter to consider in order to incentivize a turnaround of&nbsp;CHD.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The best strategies for turning around a company do not necessarily come from a company’s existing shareholders.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If&nbsp;CHD&nbsp;is in an emergency situation,&nbsp;CHD shareholders and potential&nbsp;CHD&nbsp;shareholders will not even consider acquiring more shares in order to call for a special shareholder meeting, if they have wait one-year to call for a special shareholder meeting. A one-year holding period makes no sense. An emergency demands an immediate response.</p>
<p>The fact that one shareholder or a group of shareholders can quickly acquire more shares to call for a special shareholder meeting is an incentive for&nbsp;CHD&nbsp;Directors to avoid such an emergency situation in the first place since the continued service of certain&nbsp;CHD Directors could be terminated by a special shareholder meeting. This is a good incentive for the&nbsp;CHD&nbsp;Directors to have for the benefit of all shareholders.</p>
