Shareholder Right to Act by Written Consent (Stockholder Proposal
Shareholder — John CheveddenBoard: AGAINSTStockholder proposal requesting the Board to permit shareholder action by written consent without unnecessary restrictions and allow shareholders to initiate topics for written consent.
More detail
The proponent, John Chevedden, requests the Board to enable shareholder action by written consent by shareholders holding the minimum votes required to authorize actions at a fully-attended meeting, arguing Assurant’s 25% special meeting threshold is too high and written consent would provide a timely mechanism to address underperformance and governance concerns. Management opposes on governance and practical grounds, pointing to the adoption of a 25% special meeting right, robust engagement, and risks that written consents could disenfranchise other shareholders or enable minority agendas; management also cites prevailing S&P 500 practice of not permitting written consent or requiring unanimity. Company-specific context includes recent operational and financial challenges in 2025 (catastrophes, investment income, FX headwinds) that the proponent cites as justification for the change, while the Board emphasizes its prior engagement and adjustments like the special meeting right as balancing stockholder access and governance stability.
