Dynatrace board adopts new majority voting standard for director elections

Dynatrace, Inc. (NYSE:DT) announced that its board of directors unanimously approved the company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws, effective Saturday. According to a press release statement, the updated bylaws introduce a new majority voting standard for uncontested director elections at stockholder meetings where a quorum is present.

Under the new bylaws, a nominee for director will be elected if the number of votes cast in favor exceeds the number of votes cast against that nominee. For contested elections—where the number of nominees exceeds the number of available board seats—the existing plurality voting standard will remain in place.

The bylaws also outline procedures if an incumbent director is not re-elected. In such cases, the director must promptly tender their resignation following certification of the stockholder vote. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will then recommend to the board whether to accept or reject the resignation or take other action. The board will disclose its decision within 90 days of the vote certification.

These changes were detailed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and take effect immediately.
