<h2>Resolution Text</h2>
<p><strong>RESOLVED</strong>: Shareholders request that our board take each step necessary so that each voting requirement in our charter and bylaws (that is explicit or implicit due to default to state law) that calls for a greater than simple majority vote be replaced by a requirement for a majority of the votes cast for and against applicable proposals, or a simple majority in compliance with applicable laws.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>SUPPORTING STATEMENT</strong>:</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>If necessary this means the closest standard to a majority of the votes cast for and against such proposals consistent with applicable laws. This includes making the necessary changes in plain English.</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>Shareholders are willing to pay a premium for shares of companies that have excellent corporate governance. The supermajority voting requirements, like those of Science Applications International, have been found to be one of 6 entrenching mechanisms that are negatively related to company performance according to “What Matters in Corporate Governance” by Lucien Bebchuk, Alma Cohen and Allen Ferrell of the Harvard Law School. Supermajority requirements are used to block initiatives supported by most shareowners but opposed by a status quo management.<br><br>This proposal topic won from 74% to 88% support at Weyerhaeuser, Alcoa, Waste Management, Goldman Sachs, FirstEnergy and Macy’s. These votes would have been higher than 74% to 88% if more shareholders had access to independent proxy voting advice.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>This proposal topic, as a shareholder proposal, received 98% support each in 2024 at Domino’s Pizza, FMC Corporation, ConocoPhillips, Masco Corporation and Power Integrations.</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>Unfortunately Science Applications International delayed for one-year the opportunity for its shareholders to vote on this highly supported shareholder proposal topic. SAIC is believed to have used dishonest means to cause the one-year delay.</p>
