(d)

A majority of the votes cast by shareowners at the Annual Meeting voted, on an advisory basis, to hold future say-on-pay votes every year. In line with this, the Board of Directors has decided that it will hold a say-on-pay vote every year until the next required say-on-pay-frequency vote, which will occur no later than our 2023 annual meeting of shareowners.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of
Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory
Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) At the Annual Meeting, shareowners approved the Amended Plan,
which: (1) authorizes the issuance of up to 150 million
additional shares for use under the plan; (2) extends the term of
the plan by ten years, with the 2027 annual meeting as the end
date; (3) raises the limit on the number of shares available for
incentive stock options by 150 million; (4) adds non-employee
directors as particpants under the plan, bringing the deferred
stock unit program for directors under the auspices of the plan;
(5) establishes an annual limit for director compensation
(including both cash and equity compensation) at $1.5 million per
year; (6) clarifies that plan awards are subject to the
Company’s clawback policy; and (7) makes other, non-substantive
changes to the plan. The material terms of the plan are
