This excerpt taken from the FL DEF 14A filed Apr 9, 2009. Policy on Voting for Directors Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that if a nominee for director in an uncontested election receives more votes withheld from his or her election than votes for election (a Majority Withheld Vote), then the director must offer his or her resignation for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the Nominating Committee). The Nominating Committee will evaluate the resignation, weighing the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors on the action to be taken. For example, the Nominating Committee may recommend (i) accepting the resignation, (ii) maintaining the director but addressing what the Nominating Committee believes to be the underlying cause of the withheld votes, (iii) resolving that the director will not be re-nominated in the future for election, or (iv) rejecting the resignation. When making its determination, the Nominating Committee will consider all factors that it deems relevant, including (i) any stated reasons why shareholders withheld votes from the director, (ii) any alternatives for curing the underlying cause of the withheld votes, (iii) the directors tenure, (iv) the directors qualifications, (v) the directors past and expected future contributions to the Board and to the Company, and (vi) the overall composition of the Board, including whether accepting the resignation would cause the Company to fail to meet any applicable Securities and Exchange Commission or New York Stock Exchange requirements. We will promptly disclose the Boards decision on whether or not to accept the directors resignation, including, if applicable, the reasons for rejecting the offered resignation.
