This excerpt taken from the GMCR DEF 14A filed Jan 28, 2008. To vote by proxy, please mark, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided. As of the close of business on January 18, 2008 the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting, 23,801,474 shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.10 per share, were outstanding. The presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the total number of outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held as of the record date. Stockholders may not cumulate votes for the election of directors. Directors are elected by plurality vote. If shares are not voted by the broker who is the record holder of the shares, or if shares are not voted in other circumstances in which proxy authority is defective or has been withheld with respect to any matter, these non-voted shares are not deemed to be present or represented for purposes of determining whether stockholder approval has been obtained, but are counted for quorum purposes. If a nominee for director is unable to serve as a director, the persons appointed as proxy for the Annual Meeting may, in his or her discretion, vote for another person as director or vote to reduce the number of directors to less than eight, as the Board may recommend.
