Resolution to Require Independent Board Chairman

 

RESOLVED:  The shareholders of Verizon hereby urge our Board of Directors to adopt a policy, amending the Governance Guidelines and Bylaws if feasible, such that the Board will select its Chairman from among the independent directors who have not served as an executive officer of our Company. This policy would separate the roles of Board Chairman and CEO, but should be implemented without abrogating any employment contract.
