 and such parties’ stock holdings and derivative positions in our securities; (ii) information we deem appropriate to ascertain the nominee’s qualifications to serve on the Board, including disclosure of compensation arrangements between the nominee, the nominating shareholder and the underlying beneficial owner, if any; and (iii) any other information required to comply with the proxy rules and applicable law. These requirements are more fully described in Article I, Section 7 of our By-Laws, a copy of which will be provided without charge to any shareholder upon written request to our Corporate Secretary at World Kinect Corporation, 9800 Northwest 41st Street, Miami, Florida 33178. Director Resignation Policy We have adopted a director resignation policy for the election of directors in an uncontested election, which is generally defined as an election in which the number of nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected at the meeting. In uncontested elections of directors, such as this election, any director nominee who receives a greater number of votes “withheld” from his or her election than votes “for” his or her election must promptly tender his or her resignation for consideration by the Governance Committee. The director whose resignation is under consideration will not participate in the recommendation of the Governance Committee or deliberations of the Board with respect to his or her resignation. The Governance Committee will recommend to the Board whether the Board should accept or reject the resignation or whether other action should be taken. The Board will publicly disclose, in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC, its decision regarding the tendered resignation within 90 days after certification of the election results. If a director’s resignation is not accepted by the Board, the director will continue to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or his or her earlier resignation or removal. If a director’s resignation is accepted by the Board, then the Board may fill the resulting vacancy or decrease the number of directors comprising the Board in accordance with our By-laws. A copy of our director resignation policy, included in our Corporate Governance Principles, is available on our Investor Relations website at ir.worldkinect.com under “Corporate Governance.” Our website and information contained on our website are not part of this proxy statement and are not incorporated by reference in this proxy statement.
