Company news
A proposal that would make it easier for Eli Lilly and Co. to be purchased in an unwanted takeover will be voted on again by shareholders at the company’s annual meeting. The effort to remove an 80-percent approval threshold for takeover bids against the wishes of Lilly’s board is on the agenda of the April 18 meeting. The proposal failed last year after receiving approval from 74 percent of shareholders owning Lilly stock. To pass, it needed the support of investors holding 80 percent of all of Lilly’s outstanding shares. The supermajority vote requirement, which has been in place for more than 25 years, applies not only to outright takeover bids, but also to measures used to achieve them, such as removing directors before their terms end or expanding the size of the board. If the proposal passes, it would require a bare majority of votes to approve such actions in the future.
