This excerpt taken from the DVN DEF 14A filed Apr 24, 2009. How many votes
will be required to approve a proposal?
Election of Directors at the Annual Meeting will be by a
plurality of votes cast at the Annual Meeting. Votes may be cast
in favor of the election of each Director nominee or withheld.
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines and Bylaws contain a
Director Resignation Policy which provides that any nominee for
Director in an uncontested election who receives a greater
number of votes “withheld” from his or her election
than votes “for” such election must submit his or her
offer of resignation to the Governance Committee of the Board of
Directors within 90 days from the date of the election. The
Governance Committee will consider all of the relevant facts and
circumstances and recommend to the Board the action to be taken
with respect to such offer of resignation.
With respect to other matters, the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the shares, present in person or by
proxy, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, is required
to take any other action.
Shares cannot be voted at the Annual Meeting unless the holder
of record is present in person or by proxy.
