<h2>Resolution Text</h2>
<p><strong>WHEREAS</strong>: Public sustainability reporting enables investors to make better informed decisions through a deeper understanding of enterprise risks and how companies manage them to deliver stable, long-term financial returns. Reporting is most useful when it aligns with recognized disclosure frameworks, thereby enhancing consistency, comparability, and relevance.<br><br>As the largest beverage company in the world, Coca-Cola’s operations both significantly impact and rely on the environment and ecosystem services. The company released sustainability reports in accordance with the GRI standards from 2019-2023. Its 2022 sustainability report identified Packaging and Circularity, Water Stewardship, and Climate Change as priority topics based on importance to stakeholders and impact on the company.1<br><br>Subsequent to 2023, the company has released Environmental Updates but not full sustainability reports.2 These updates lack decision-useful information on initiatives and outcomes related to those priority environmental topics. The sustainability section of Coca-Cola’s website does not include this missing information, and the reporting is not prepared in accordance with recognized reporting frameworks.<br><br>• Packaging: Reusable packaging is considered by experts to be one of the most effective way to reduce plastic pollution and an important sales strategy.3 Coca-Cola’s previous reporting included information on how the company was investing in refillable packaging.4 Its recent reporting omits these disclosures.<br>• Water stewardship: The Company’s recent reports also fail to disclose information about water use from its 200 high-risk locations or report progress towards its water management goal for these locations.<br>• Climate change: Coca-Cola previously disclosed a short-term, SBTi-verified GHG emissions reduction goal, its plans to reduce its emissions and progress against the old goal. Its current reporting does not provide this disclosure for its new goal to reduce emissions in line with a 1.5-degree trajectory by 2035.</p>
<p>By comparison, Coca-Cola’s peers disclose sustainability reports according to external standards.5,6,7,8 In their sustainability reporting, PepsiCo and Nestlé disclose details on how they will achieve their GHG reduction goals and progress against these goals. PepsiCo, Nestlé and KDP all provide quantitative disclosure on water use in high water-risk areas.<br><br><strong>RESOLVED</strong>: Shareholders request that Coca-Cola issue a report, at reasonable cost and omitting proprietary information, describing whether, and how, it will increase the inclusion of updated information in its sustainability disclosures that better demonstrate the effectiveness of company strategies in mitigating priority sustainability risks for the company, including mitigating risks to the business and improving environmental outcomes of its efforts.<br><br><strong>Supporting Statement</strong>: Proponents suggest, at management’s discretion, that the report:<br>• Be prepared in accordance with a recognized framework<br>• Include a materiality assessment to ensure that reporting covers issues that are material to its business.</p>

<h2>Resolution Text</h2>
<p><strong>RESOLVED</strong>: Shareholders request UPS issue a report, at reasonable cost and omitting proprietary information, describing if and how it plans to align its operations and investments with its carbon neutrality goal.</p>
<p><strong>SUPPORTING STATEMENT</strong>:</p>
<p><strong>UPS’ Fossil Fuel Reliance Heightens Climate-Related Financial Risks</strong></p>
<p>United Parcel Service (“UPS”) faces heightened climate-related risks due to dependence on diesel and jet fuel across its global fleet. In its 2025 10-K, the Company acknowledges that climate change poses “financial and operational risks,” including weather-related disruptions.[1] These risks are no longer hypothetical: extreme weather in 2024 caused an estimated $100 billion in global supply chain losses;[2] by 2060, analysts project that climate-driven supply chain disruptions could cost up to $24 trillion.[3] Scientists project global climate damages in the range of $19-59 trillion annually by 2050—five times the cost of limiting warming to 2°C.[4] Continued emissions from UPS’ operations risk locking in further economic losses.&nbsp;</p>
<p>For a logistics company like UPS, whose value proposition rests on operational reliability and resilient supply chains, these operational, financial, and systemic risks could threaten asset performance and increase the cost of capital.[5]</p>
<p><strong>UPS Risks Falling Behind on Climate Targets Amid Misaligned Capital Spending</strong></p>
<p>UPS’ emissions per package have increased since its baseline year, despite targets to cut intensity 50% by 2035 and reach carbon neutrality by 2050.[6] In 2024, only one-third of UPS’ capital expenditures supported environmental sustainability goals, while its continued investment in natural gas vehicles risks locking in higher emissions and lifecycle costs for decades.[7] These trends indicate a misalignment between UPS’ capital allocation and its stated climate commitments.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>UPS Lags Competitors</strong></p>
<p>Peers such as DHL and FedEx demonstrate stronger governance and execution of climate strategy.[8] Both have committed to value chain emission reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative, conduct scenario analyses, apply a double materiality approach, and link executive pay to sustainability outcomes. They also define clear vehicle electrification milestones that align capital allocation with emissions reductions and long-term competitiveness. UPS lags peers across each of these dimensions.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Investors seek greater visibility into how UPS is integrating climate-related risks and opportunities into its financial and strategic decision-making. A comprehensive climate transition plan aligned with investor expectations and frameworks such as the TCFD and CA100+ would provide that transparency. Developing and disclosing such a plan would strengthen UPS’ credibility with investors while positioning the Company to capture efficiency gains, policy incentives, and market share in a rapidly transforming logistics sector.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WHEREAS</strong>: US Foods sells plastic food packaging and food products in plastics packaging.<br><br>Only 9% of plastic waste globally is recycled.1 An estimated 11 million tons of plastic pollution is released into the ocean annually, killing over 1 million marine animals a year.2 There is also growing concern over the risks that microplastics and plastic additives pose to human health.3 A 2025 Duke University Study estimates that plastic use in the United States results in $930 billion in costs related to disease and early mortality from exposure to toxic chemicals.4<br><br>A 2025 Pew Charitable Trust study found that, without ambitious cuts in plastic production, plastic pollution will more than double by 2040 and greenhouse gas emissions from plastic production will increase by 58%. If the global plastic system were a country, it would be on track to be the third largest GHG emitter by 2040.5<br><br>US Foods’ failure to adopt policies to reduce plastic in its packaging may leave the company vulnerable to regulatory risk. Seven states have adopted extended producer responsibility laws that make producers responsible for post-consumer packaging waste management, and bills were introduced for similar regulation in eight other states in 2025.6 A 2020 Pew Study estimated that industry could face financial risk of $100 billion annually should producer responsibility and virgin plastic taxes become widespread.7 This does not include social costs.<br><br>Peers are adapting in response to these risks. Aramark plans to eliminate or substantially reduce its use of Styrofoam packaging and reduce its use of plastic packaging. Sysco discloses a percentage breakdown of its packaging material type, i.e. plastic, paper, and metal. Sysco also gives examples where it has switched from plastic to paper packaging and some quantitative disclosure on the associated plastic reduction achieved.<br>Despite the business risks and broad societal impact associated with plastic pollution, US Foods does not report any information to investors about its plastic footprint and has not set any goals for reducing its plastic use, or disclosed information on how it assesses and manages risks related to the health risks of plastics, including its use of Styrofoam.<br><br><strong>RESOLVED</strong>: Shareholders request that US Foods issue a report within one year, at reasonable cost and omitting proprietary information, assessing if and how the Company can increase the scale, pace, and rigor of its sustainable packaging efforts, including by reducing its total plastic packaging use.<br><br><strong>Supporting Statement</strong>: Proponents defer to management on the content of the report, but suggest that indicators meaningful to shareholders may include:<br><br>● Annual disclosure of metrics related to the company’s plastic use, such total plastic packaging use.<br>● Quantitative, time bound goals for reducing plastic use.</p>

<h2>Resolution Text</h2>
<p><strong>RESOLVED</strong>: Shareholders request that the board of directors take the necessary steps to permit written consent by the shareholders entitled to cast the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize an action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote thereon were present and voting (without any unnecessary restriction based on length of stock ownership or the method by which shareholders hold their shares). This includes shareholder ability to initiate any appropriate topic for written consent.</p>
<p><strong>SUPPORTING STATEMENT</strong>:</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>Verisk Analytics (VRSK) shareholders have a particular need for the right to act by written consent because it is considerably more difficult than necessary for&nbsp;VRSK shareholders to call for a special shareholder meeting.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>Shareholders acting by written consent and calling for a special shareholder meeting are 2 means that shareholders of a company can use to put forth a proposal on a timely basis without waiting for the annual shareholder meeting.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>Delaware law considers it reasonable for 10% of shareholders to call for a special shareholder meeting – yet&nbsp;VRSK made the threshold 25% of shareholders based on all shares outstanding.</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>Acting by written consent is hardly ever used by shareholders but the main point of having a right to act by written consent is that it gives shareholders greater standing to engage effectively with management when VRSK&nbsp;underperforms.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>The following challenging 2025 news reports on VRSK&nbsp;make it more important to adopt this proposal without delay:</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>In its third-quarter 2025 earnings report, VRSK&nbsp;trimmed its full-year 2025 revenue outlook to a range of $3.05 billion to $3.08 billion, below analyst expectations. This announcement led to its stock falling as much as 15% on the day of the news.&nbsp;<br><br>In its Q3 2025 earnings report, VRSK&nbsp;missed Wall Street’s revenue estimates and subsequently cut its full-year 2025 revenue forecast. VRSK&nbsp;revised its total revenue forecast downward from its previous range due to various challenges.</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>Following the announcement of the lowered guidance, VRSK’s&nbsp;shares experienced significant pressure, dropping as much as 15% in a single day and nearly 20% over the quarter.</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>A primary reason cited for the revenue shortfall was an “exceptionally low level of severe weather” and no major U.S. hurricane landfalls through September 2025. This reduced demand for the company’s property claims estimating tools, as fewer natural disasters resulted in fewer insurance claims being filed.</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>VRSK&nbsp;faced delays in the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) approval process for its acquisition of AccuLynx, which impacted its 2025 guidance projections.</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>VRSK’s&nbsp;Personal Lines Auto business also experienced increased competitive pressures, contributing to a decline in transactional revenue.</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>The mixed results and lowered guidance prompted several analysts to cut their price targets and earnings estimates for VRSK, contributing to a consensus “Hold” rating among many on Wall Street.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Resolution Text</h2>
<p><strong>RESOLVED</strong>: Shareholders ask our Board of Directors to take the steps necessary to amend the appropriate company governing documents to give the owners of a combined 10% of our outstanding common stock the power to call a special shareholder meeting or the owners of the lowest percentage of shareholders, as governed by state law, the power to call a special shareholder meeting. Such a special shareholder meeting can be an online shareholder meeting.</p>
<p><strong>SUPPORTING STATEMENT</strong>:</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>There shall be no poison pill discriminatory rule to require ownership of shares for a specific period of time in order for shares to participate in calling for a special shareholder meeting.<br>&nbsp;<br>This proposal topic received between 51% and 72% support each in 2024 at Jabil, Warner Brothers Discovery, ANSYS, Vertex Pharmaceuticals and DexCom.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>To guard against the Boston Scientific Board of Directors becoming complacent shareholders need the ability to call a special shareholder meeting to help the Board adopt new strategies when the need arises.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>There is no concern that allowing 10% of shares to call for a special shareholder meeting, as called for in this proposal, is too easy. It is almost unheard of for any special shareholder meeting, called for by shareholders, to ever occur at any company even though a significant number of companies allow 10% of shareholders to call for a special shareholder meeting.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>In the vast majority of cases or in most cases, once a special meeting is called for by shareholders, the issues behind calling for a special shareholder meeting are quickly resolved.<br><br>With the widespread use of online shareholder meetings it is much easier for a company to conduct a special shareholder meeting online, in the unlikely event that a special shareholder meeting ultimately takes place, and the Boston Scientific governing documents thus need to be updated accordingly.</p>

<h2>Resolution Text</h2>
<p><strong>RESOLVED</strong>: Shareholders ask our Board of Directors to take the steps necessary to amend the appropriate company governing documents to give the owners of a combined 10% of our outstanding common stock the power to call a special shareholder meeting or the owners of the lowest percentage of shareholders, as governed by state law, the power to call a special shareholder meeting. Such a special shareholder meeting can be an online shareholder meeting.</p>
<p><strong>SUPPORTING STATEMENT</strong>:</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>There shall be no poison pill discriminatory rule to require ownership of shares for a specific period of time in order for shares to participate in calling for a special shareholder meeting. This proposal includes that Entegris incorporates this right in its bylaws and that such bylaws be published on the Entegris website for easy access.<br>&nbsp;<br>To guard against the Entegris Board of Directors becoming complacent shareholders need the ability to call a special shareholder meeting to help the Board adopt new strategies when the need arises.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>There is no concern that allowing 10% of shares to call for a special shareholder meeting, as called for in this proposal, is too easy. It is almost unheard of for any special shareholder meeting, called for by shareholders, to ever occur at any company even though a significant number of companies allow 10% of shareholders to call for a special shareholder meeting.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>In the vast majority of cases, once a special meeting is called for by shareholders, the issues behind calling for a special shareholder meeting are quickly resolved.<br><br>Shareholders may especially seek a reasonable right to call for a special shareholder meeting when a company faces headwinds.</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>Numerous news reports from 2025 reflect unfavorably on Entegris, citing missed earnings expectations, tariff challenges, and stock price volatility. In May 2025,&nbsp;Entegris&nbsp;reported Q1 results that slightly missed analysts’ forecasts for both revenue and earnings per share. Revenue fell short of the projected $791 million, reaching $770 million instead. Following the Q1 earnings miss, Entegris’s stock price dropped significantly in pre-market trading, reflecting investor disappointment with the performance and outlook.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>A similar negative market reaction followed the Q2 report, even with sequential improvements. Throughout the year, trade tensions between the U.S. and China were a recurring headwind for Entegris. In May, the company warned of a potential $30–$50 million revenue impact in 2025 due to new tariffs.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>In October, fresh tariff threats caused significant stock volatility. The company’s Q2 2025 earnings slides showed a compression of margins compared to the previous year, with the adjusted operating margin declining due to tariff impacts, operational inefficiencies, and elevated costs.<br><br>Demand was softer than expected in the first quarter for certain products, including fluid handling and Front Opening Unified Pods (FOUP). The Advanced Purity Solutions (APS) segment continued to face headwinds into the second quarter.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Resolution Text</h2>
<p><strong>RESOLVED</strong>: Shareholders ask the Board of Directors to take the steps necessary to amend the appropriate company governing documents to give the owners of a combined 10% of our outstanding common stock the power to call a special shareholder meeting or the owners of the lowest percentage of shareholders, as governed by state law, the power to call a special shareholder meeting. Such a special shareholder meeting can be an easy to convene online shareholder meeting.</p>
<p><strong>SUPPORTING STATEMENT</strong>:</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>There shall be no poison pill discriminatory rule to require ownership of shares for a specific period of time in order for shares to participate in calling for a special shareholder meeting and no requirement that most such shareholders be record holders. This proposal includes that S&amp;P Global incorporates this right in its bylaws and that such bylaws be published on the SPGI website for easy access.<br>&nbsp;<br>It is reasonable that 10% of shares have this right because there is almost no shareholders of any company anywhere using this right at the 25% stock ownership mark.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>If SPGI thinks a 10% shareholding right is too easy then SPGI is welcome to give one example of the shareholders of any company with a $50 Billion or more capitalization successfully calling for a special shareholder meeting in the past decade with a 25% shareholding requirement which is the current requirement at SPGI. SPGI has a market capitalization of $150 Billion.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>The current 25% shareholding right does not seem to be a realistic right. At least at large cap companies like SPGI the right needs to be a more feasible 10% of shares to call for a special shareholder meeting.</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>To guard against the SPGI Board of Directors becoming complacent shareholders need the ability to call a special shareholder meeting to help the Board adopt new strategies when SPGI underperforms.</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>Now could be a ripe time for this proposal since SPGI stock was at $484 in 2021 and was at only $493 in late 2025 despite a robust stock market.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>Plus challenging news reports regarding SPGI emerged in 2025:</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>As of October 31, 2025, SPGI stock was considered “expensive” and “overvalued” by some analysts, with a high Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio relative to its historical averages and underperformance against the S&amp;P 500 index year-to-date.</p>
<p>S&amp;P Global Ratings downgraded 126 U.S. BSL CLO (Broadly Syndicated Loan Collateralized Loan Obligation) tranches in the first three quarters of 2025, almost triple the count for the entire year of 2024. This uptick in downgrades, the first time in triple digits since 2020, highlights concerns about asset quality deterioration and significant “par loss” in these financial instruments.<br><br>SPGI’s own reports mention that tariff and trade disputes in 2025 are weighing heavily on demand and creating a high degree of uncertainty.</p>

<h2>Resolution Text</h2>
<p><strong>RESOLVED</strong>: Shareholders ask our Board of Directors to take the steps necessary to amend the appropriate company governing documents to give the owners of a combined 10% of our outstanding common stock the power to call a special shareholder meeting or the owners of the lowest percentage of shareholders, as governed by state law, the power to call a special shareholder meeting. Such a special shareholder meeting can be an online shareholder meeting.</p>
<p><strong>SUPPORTING STATEMENT</strong>:</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>There shall be no poison pill discriminatory rule to require ownership of shares for a specific period of time in order for shares to participate in calling for a special shareholder meeting.</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>To guard against the Albemarle Board of Directors becoming complacent shareholders need the ability to call a special shareholder meeting to help the Board adopt new strategies when the need arises.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>This proposal topic received between 51% and 72% support each in 2024 at Jabil, Warner Brothers Discovery, ANSYS, Vertex Pharmaceuticals and DexCom.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>A shareholder right to call for a special shareholder meeting can help make shareholder engagement meaningful. A shareholder right to call for an online special shareholder meeting will help ensure that the Albemarle Board and management engages with shareholders in good faith because shareholders will have a viable Plan B by calling for an online special shareholder meeting.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>Any argument that calling a special shareholder meeting is too cumbersome has little validity. In the vast majority of cases or in most cases, once a special meeting is called for by shareholders, the issues behind calling for a special shareholder meeting are quickly resolved.</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>With the widespread use of online shareholder meetings it is much easier for a company to conduct a special shareholder meeting online, in the unlikely event that a special shareholder meeting ultimately takes place, and the Albemarle governing documents thus need to be updated accordingly.</p>

<h2>Resolution Text</h2>
<p><strong>RESOLVED</strong>: Shareholders ask that Eli Lilly arrange for an advisory vote on each director who does not stand for election in a given year.</p>
<p><strong>SUPPORTING STATEMENT</strong>:</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>This proposal is necessary because Eli Lilly directors have&nbsp;3-year terms which makes directors far less accountable. It is highly unlikely that this will change because the Lilly Endowment is opposed to annual election of each director and has enough voting power to prevent annual election of each director.</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>Advisory votes for certain directors is similar to the advisory vote on executive pay that LLY conducts. When LLY initiated advisory votes on executive pay it did not need to change the bylaws because the votes were advisory.</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>This proposal will focus LLY shareholders on the performance and qualifications of each LLY director each year so that LLY shareholders will be better prepared to cast informed votes when directors are up for a binding shareholder vote after 3-years.&nbsp;</p>
