Cintas shareholder John Chevedden is urging investors to back a governance change and oppose a director. He asks fellow shareholders to vote for Proposal 4, which would give shareholders a more reasonable ability to call a special shareholder meeting. He argues that the current requirement for 50% of shares outstanding to support calling a special meeting is an extreme outlier compared with other companies and can effectively require support from well over a majority of votes cast at an annual meeting.
Chevedden also urges a vote against director Joseph Scaminace, chair of the Governance Committee, criticizing his role in maintaining what he views as an excessively high threshold for special meetings. He contends that modern online meeting technology makes special meetings easier to conduct, and that the company has had several years to adopt a more typical standard.
