Amendments to Articles of Inc. or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year, Other Events, Fin
On November 20, 2009, the Board of Directors of YUM! Brands, Inc. (the
"Company") approved an amendment to Sections 7 and 9 of Article II of the
Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws"). As amended, the Bylaws
provide that a shareholder who wishes to (1) propose an item of business for the
shareholders to consider at the annual meeting of shareholders or (2) nominate a
candidate for director must follow certain notice and procedural steps.
Included among these steps is the requirement to provide more complete
disclosure, particularly with respect to various ownership techniques employed
by such shareholder (including any derivative or short positions) and clarifying
relationships with other shareholders and nominees. The amendment also includes
related, ancillary changes.
The foregoing summary of the amendments to the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Company's Bylaws, as amended and restated on November 20, 2009, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation
The Company anticipates that non-binding advisory votes on compensation practices, commonly referred to as "say-on-pay," may in the future be required by law, in which case the Company will comply with such requirements.
In any event, if no such advisory vote is required by law at the time of the Company's 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Board has approved in principle, effective with the Company's 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, a non-binding, advisory vote by the Company's shareholders on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table of its proxy statement and accompanying narrative.
