that is headquartered in Arizona, has assets of at least $1
million in Arizona and has more than 500 Arizona employees. The
statute provides that if a person or group acquires 20% or more
of the stock of such a company, the shares in excess of the 20%
threshold may not be voted on matters other than the election of
directors (subject to limited exceptions). In a 2007 decision, a
federal court in Arizona stated that the statute is
unconstitutional and unenforceable in the case of an entity, like
Republic, that is incorporated in Delaware. If the statute were
deemed to be enforceable and applicable to us and to the shares
of our common stock held by Cascade Investment, L.L.C. (Cascade)
(which held approximately 32.1% of our common stock as of the
record date for the Annual Meeting), approximately 41 million
fewer shares would have been voted for each of proposals two
through four, but the outcome of the decisions on those matters
would not have been impacted. The Company does not currently take
any position regarding the enforceability of the statute or its
application to us or the common stock voted by Cascade.
