DeWITT — Anaren, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANEN) has made some changes in how its shareholders will elect directors in uncontested elections.
The company’s board amended its bylaws this month to provide for majority voting in uncontested director elections. Any incumbent directors not receiving a majority of shareholder votes will be deemed to have submitted their resignation to the board, which will be accepted on submission, Anaren said.
A non-incumbent director in an uncontested election must also receive a majority of the vote to be elected and qualified.
