Our Bylaws nullify Chapter 7B of the Michigan Business Corporation Act (Act). This Act regulates shareholder rights when an individual’s stock
ownership reaches 20% of a Michigan corporation’s outstanding shares. A shareholder seeking control of the Company cannot require our Board of Directors
to call a meeting to vote on issues related to corporate control within 10 days, as stipulated by the Act.
We paid cash dividends on our common stock of $407 million in 2012, $389 million in 2011, and $360 million in 2010. The amount of future
dividends will depend on our earnings, cash flows, financial condition and other factors that are periodically reviewed by our Board of Directors. Although
there can be no assurances, we anticipate paying dividends for the foreseeable future.
See Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report for information on dividend restrictions.
All of our equity compensation plans that provide for the annual awarding of stock-based compensation have been approved by shareholders. See
Note 21 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report for additional detail.
