Confidential Voting. Each stockholder eligible to vote on any matter submitted to a stockholder vote is entitled to one vote, in person or by proxy, for each share of common stock eligible to be voted and held by such stockholder. Each stockholder who votes by proxy shall have confidential treatment of its votes for the election of Directors and all other matters submitted to a stockholder vote.
Confidential Voting. (a) Proxies and ballots that identify the votes of specific stockholders shall be kept in confidence by the inspectors of election unless (i) there is an opposing solicitation with respect to the election or removal of MetLife, Inc. By-Laws 125 Directors, (ii) disclosure is required by applicable law, (iii) a stockholder expressly requests or otherwise authorizes disclosure in relation to such stockholder's vote, or (iv) the Corporation concludes in good faith that a bona fide dispute exists as to the authenticity of one or more proxies, ballots or votes, or as to the accuracy of any tabulation of such proxies, ballots or votes.
Confidential Voting. Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual Cigna stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within Cigna or to third parties, except: (1) as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, (2) to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote and (3) to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation. Occasionally, stockholders provide written comments on their proxy cards. All comments received are then forwarded to Cigna’s management. Stockholders Sharing an Address Cigna has adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called ‘‘householding.’’ Under this procedure, beneficial stockholders who have the same address and last name and who do not participate in electronic delivery or Internet access of proxy materials will receive only one copy of stockholder documents unless one or more of these stockholders notifies Cigna that they wish to continue receiving individual copies. This procedure is designed to reduce duplicate mailings and save significant printing and processing costs, as well as natural resources. Each stockholder who participates in householding will continue to receive a separate proxy card. Your consent to householding is perpetual unless you withhold or revoke it. You may revoke your consent at any time by contacting Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., either by calling toll-free at (800) 542-1061, or by writing to Broadridge, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. The request must be made by each person in the household. Be sure to indicate your name, the name of your brokerage firm or bank, and your account number. The revocation of your consent to householding will be effective 30 days following its receipt.
Confidential Voting. As a matter of policy, Express Scripts keeps confidential proxies, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders. Such documents are available for examination only by the inspector of election and certain of Express Scripts’ employees and Express Scripts’ transfer agent and proxy solicitor who are associated with processing proxy cards and tabulating the vote. The vote of any stockholder is not disclosed except in a contested proxy solicitation or as may be necessary to meet legal requirements. Stockholders Sharing an Address Express Scripts may send a single set of stockholder documents to any household at which two or more stockholders reside. This process, which is commonly referred to as ‘‘householding,’’ potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. Express Scripts and some brokers household stockholder documents, delivering a single set of documents to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or Express Scripts that they or Express Scripts will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate set of documents, or if you currently receive multiple sets of documents and would prefer to participate in householding, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or Express Scripts if you hold registered shares. You can notify Express Scripts by sending a written request to Express Scripts Holding Company, Attention: Investor Relations, One Express Way, Saint Louis, Missouri 63121, or by telephone at (314) 810-3115, and Express Scripts will promptly deliver these documents to you or start householding, as applicable, following our receipt of such request.
Confidential Voting. As a matter of policy, proxies, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are held confidential. Such documents are available for examination only by the independent tabulation agents, the independent inspectors of election and certain employees associated with tabulation of the vote. The identity of the vote of any individual stockholder is not disclosed except as may be necessary to meet legal requirements.
Confidential Voting. The Corporation's proxy ballot and voting process for shareholders' meetings shall provide the means by which shareholders may expressly elect to have their votes treated confidentially. The particular vote of such shareholder shall not be disclosed except (a) in the event of a proxy or consent solicitation in opposition to the Corporation; (b) if disclosure is necessary to meet legal requirements or where such information may be necessary to assist in the pursuit or defense of judicial action; (c) if the shareholder subsequently requests or permits disclosure of its 198 4 vote; or (d) in the event the Corporation concludes in good faith that a bona fide dispute exists as to the authenticity of one or more proxies, ballots or votes, or as to the accuracy of any tabulation of such proxies, ballots or votes.
Confidential Voting. Each shareholder of the Corporation shall be entitled to elect voting confidentiality as provided in this Section on all matters submitted to shareholders by the Board and each form of proxy, consent, ballot or other written voting instruction distributed to the shareholders shall include a check box or other appropriate mechanism by which shareholders who desire to do so may so elect voting confidentiality. All inspectors of election, vote tabulators and other persons appointed or engaged by or on behalf of the Corporation to process voting instructions (none of whom shall be a Director or officer of the Corporation or any of its affiliates) shall be advised of and instructed to comply with this Section and, except as required or permitted hereby, not at any time to disclose to any person (except to other persons engaged in processing voting instructions), the identity and individual vote of any shareholder electing voting confidentiality; provided, however, that voting confidentiality shall not apply and the name and individual vote of any shareholder may be disclosed to the Corporation or to any person (i) to the extent that such disclosure is required by applicable law or is appropriate to assert or defend any claim relating to voting or (ii) with respect to any matter for which votes of shareholders are solicited in opposition to any of the nominees or the recommendations of the Board unless the persons engaged in such opposition solicitation provide shareholders of the Corporation with voting confidentiality (which, if not otherwise provided, will be requested by the Corporation) comparable in the opinion of the Corporation to the voting confidentiality provided by this Section.
