UPS Shareowners Elect Board, Approve Incentive Compensation Plan
07 Mai 2015 - 3:40PM
Shareowners of UPS (NYSE: UPS) today elected a Board of Directors
for a one-year term. Twelve directors stood for election to
the Board and all were elected by substantial margins. The
twelve include: Chairman Scott Davis, David Abney, Rodney Adkins,
Michael Burns, Bill Johnson, Candace Kendle, Ann Livermore, Rudy
Markham, Sandy Randt, John Stankey, Carol Tomé, and Kevin Warsh.
The shareowners also approved the proposal for the 2015 Omnibus
Incentive Compensation Plan (ICP). The proposal is generally put
forth every three years to obtain shareholder authorization for the
equity awards grants under the ICP. The appointment of
Deloitte & Touche to serve as the Company's independent
auditors for 2015 was ratified by a wide margin.
UPS shareowners rejected a shareholder proposal that would have
required additional disclosure concerning the company's government
affairs and lobbying activities in excess of current
requirements. The Board, which exercises independent
oversight of all UPS lobbying and political contributions and
expenditures, had recommended that shareholders vote against this
proposal on the grounds that UPS already has effective policies for
the appropriate disclosure and oversight of the company's lobbying
and political activities.
Also rejected was the shareholder proposal that sought to
require the board to reduce the voting power of Class A stock from
10 votes per share to one vote per share.
The shareholder proposal regarding tax gross-ups to senior
executives was withdrawn by the proponents before the shareholder
meeting.
