This excerpt taken from the HBAN DEF 14A filed Mar 13, 2009. Vote
Required
The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of Huntington common stock
will constitute a quorum at the meeting. Under the laws of
Maryland, Huntington’s state of incorporation, abstentions
and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the
presence or absence of a quorum, but are not counted as votes
cast at the meeting. Broker non-votes occur when brokers who
hold their customers’ shares in street name submit proxies
for such shares on some matters, but not others. Generally, this
would occur when brokers have not received any instructions from
their customers. In these cases, the brokers, as the holders of
record, are permitted to vote on “routine” matters,
which typically include the election of directors and
ratification of independent auditors, but not on non-routine
matters.
The election of each nominee for director, approval of the
Amended and Restated 2007 Stock and Long-Term Incentive Plan,
approval of the ratification of the appointment of
Deloitte & Touche LLP, and approval of the advisory
vote on executive compensation will require the affirmative vote
of a majority of all votes cast by the holders of common stock
at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Broker non-votes and
abstentions will have no effect on these matters since they are
not counted as votes cast at the meeting.

a quorum at the meeting. Under the laws of Maryland,
Huntington’s state of incorporation, abstentions and broker
non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the presence
or absence of a quorum, but are not counted as votes cast at the

which typically include the election of directors and

The election of each nominee for director requires the favorable
vote of a plurality of all votes cast by the holders of common
stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Only shares
that are voted in favor of a particular nominee will be counted
toward such nominee’s achievement of a plurality and thus
broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect. The
approval of the amendment to Huntington’s charter requires
the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all of the votes entitled
to be cast on the matter. Broker non-votes and abstentions will
have the same effect as votes cast against the approval of the
amendment to Huntington’s charter. Ratification of the
appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP will require the
affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast by the holders
of common stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present.
Broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on this
matter since they are not counted as votes cast at the meeting.
