In response to stakeholder feedback, the Board of Directors of California Resources Corporation (the “Corporation”) has determined to recommend for approval at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders an amendment to the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation to reduce the current supermajority vote thresholds to a majority vote. If approved, the Board of Directors of the Corporation also intends to approve related amendments to the corresponding provisions in the Corporation’s bylaws. The proposal will be described in more detail in the proxy materials to be furnished for that meeting, to which stockholders should refer for more information.
The Board of Directors believes that the proposed amendment will further align the Corporation’s corporate governance with best practices while having maintained corporate governance stability during the Corporation’s early years as a public company. The Corporation’s temporary division of the Board of Directors into three classes is already scheduled to cease automatically at the 2018 annual meeting.
