 consideration at the annual meeting. The 12 nominees receiving the most votes will be elected under Ohio law, but pursuant to our Regulations, any director-nominee who fails to receive a majority of votes cast must tender his or her resignation to the Board, and the resignation will be considered by the Board and the Corporate Governance Committee as set forth on page 33above under “Corporate Governance—Majority Voting for Directors.” Therefore, a withhold vote will be treated as a vote against the nominee for the purpose of the vote required under our Regulations. The affirmative vote of a majority of the common shares represented in person or by proxy at the annual meeting is required for the non-binding ratification of appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025, approval of the advisory vote to approve named executive officers’ compensation, and approval of the Amendment to the 2015 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan solely to add non-employee Directors as participants. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not count as a vote for or against any of these proposals. Where will I be able to find voting results of the annual meeting? We will announce preliminary voting results at the annual meeting. We will also publish final voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days after the annual meeting.
