This excerpt taken from the EOG DEF 14A filed Mar 30, 2005. Ratification of Appointment for 2005 The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors appointed Deloitte to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2005.
Ratification of this appointment shall be effective upon receiving the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Common Stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, under Delaware law and the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of the Company, abstentions would have the same legal effect as a vote against this proposal, but a broker non-vote would not be counted for purposes of determining whether a majority had been achieved.
17 In the event the appointment is not ratified, the Audit Committee will consider the appointment of other independent auditors. A representative of Deloitte is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will be available to make a statement if such representative desires to do so and to respond to appropriate questions.
