COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OVERVIEW

3 meetings in 2022
Chair
Larry E. Romrell |
| |
The compensation committee assists the Board in discharging its responsibilities relating to compensation of the company’s executives and produces an annual report on executive compensation for inclusion in our annual proxy statement.
In August 2014, the spin-off of our company (formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qurate Retail) from Qurate Retail was completed (the Spin-Off). In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a Services Agreement, dated August 27, 2014, with Liberty Media (the services agreement), pursuant to which Liberty Media provides us with administrative, executive and management services.
Key Responsibilities:
•
Evaluate the services fee under the services agreement on at least an annual basis, subject to certain exceptions (such as in 2019 during the then-ongoing negotiations relating to Mr. Maffei’s compensation arrangement);
•
May approve incentive awards or other forms of compensation to employees of Liberty Media who are providing services to our company, which employees include our executive officers.

|
| |
The DGCL provides that, subject to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.
If at any time, a corporation should have no directors in office, then any officer or any stockholder or an executor, administrator, trustee or guardian of a stockholder, or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate of a stockholder, may call a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws, or may apply to the Delaware Court of Chancery for a decree summarily ordering an election.

STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT

The Current Charter prohibits stockholder action by consent in writing, except that the holders of any series of preferred stock may take action by written consent to the extent provided by its terms.
|
| |
The NRS provides that, unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws, the stockholders may take action by written consent signed by stockholders holding at least a majority, or other proportion if required for such an action at a meeting, of the voting power.

AMENDMENT OF THE CHARTER
|
| |
The DGCL provides that amendments to the certificate of incorporation must be approved and declared advisable by the Board of Directors and, except in certain limited circumstances, adopted by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock of the corporation entitled to vote thereon.
Pursuant to the DGCL, holders of a class of outstanding shares have the right to vote separately as a class on an amendment to the certificate of incorporation if such amendment (i) increases or decreases the number of authorized shares of such class (subject to an exception as may be included in the certificate of incorporation), (ii) increases or decreases the par value of the shares of such class, or (iii) alters or changes the powers, preferences, or special rights of the shares of such class so as to affect them adversely. If any proposed

| |
The NRS provides that a resolution of the Board of Directors is required to propose an amendment to a corporation’s articles of incorporation and that the amendment must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the capital stock entitled to vote, as well as a majority of any class adversely affected.
After a corporation has first issued stock, Nevada requires approval by stockholders holding shares representing at least a majority of the voting power in order to amend its articles of incorporation, including to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of any class or series, except when the amendment would adversely alter or change any preference or any relative or other right given to any class or series of outstanding shares, or a series is adversely affected by an amendment in a different manner than other series of the

amendment would alter or change the powers, preferences, or special rights of one or more series of any class so as to affect them adversely, but shall not so affect the entire class, then only the shares of the series so affected by the amendment shall be considered a separate class for purposes of this right to vote.
The DGCL provides that the number of authorized shares of any such class or classes of stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the corporation entitled to vote if so provided in the original certificate of incorporation, in any amendment thereto which created such class or classes of stock or which was adopted prior to the issuance of any shares of such class or classes of stock, or in any amendment thereto which was authorized by a resolution or resolutions adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of such class or classes of stock (the Class Vote Exception).The Current Charter includes the Class Vote Exception and provides that, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 662∕3% of the total voting power of the then outstanding Voting Securities entitled to vote on such matter, voting together as a single class, is required to amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Current Charter or to add or insert any provision in the Current Charter, provided that the foregoing enhanced voting requirement will not apply to any amendment, alteration, repeal, addition or insertion (1) as to which Delaware law does not require the consent of stockholders or (2) which has been approved by at least 75% of the members of the Board of Directors then in office.

Therefore, it is generally not necessary to include a Class Vote Exception in the charter of a Nevada corporation in order to permit an increase or decrease in the number of authorized shares solely on approval by a majority of the voting power of all classes and series of stock, voting together.
The Nevada Charter will provide that, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 662∕3% of the aggregate voting power of the then outstanding Voting Securities entitled to vote on such matter, voting together as a single class, will be required to amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Nevada Charter or to add or insert any provision in the Nevada Charter, provided that the foregoing enhanced voting requirement will not apply to any amendment, alteration, repeal, addition or insertion (1) as to which Nevada law does not require the consent of stockholders or (2) which has been approved by at least 75% of the members of the Board of Directors then in office.

CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES
|
| |
Under Delaware law, the corporate opportunity doctrine holds that a corporate officer or director may not generally and unilaterally take a business opportunity for his or her own if: (i) the corporation is financially able to exploit the opportunity; (ii) the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; (iii) the corporation has an interest or expectancy in the opportunity; and (iv) by taking the opportunity for his or her own, the corporate fiduciary will thereby be placed in a position inimical to his duties to the corporation. The DGCL permits a Delaware corporation to renounce, in its certificate of incorporation or by action of the Board of Directors, any interest or expectancy of the corporation in, or being offered an opportunity to participate in, specified business opportunities or specified classes or categories of business opportunities that are presented to the corporation or one or more of its officers, directors or stockholders.
The Current Charter acknowledges that the company may have overlapping directors and officers with other entities that compete with the company’s businesses and that the company may engage in material business transactions with such other entities. The company has renounced its rights to certain business opportunities and the Current Charter provides that no director or officer of the company will breach their fiduciary duty and therefore be liable to the company or its stockholders by reason of the fact that any such individual directs a corporate opportunity to another person or entity instead of the company, or does not refer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the company, unless (x) such opportunity was expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the company or as a director or officer of the company’s subsidiaries and (y) such opportunity relates to a line of business in which the company or any of its subsidiaries is then directly engaged.

The NRS permits a Nevada corporation to renounce, in its articles of incorporation or by action of the Board of Directors, any interest or expectancy to participate in specified business opportunities or specified classes or categories of business opportunities that are presented to the corporation or one or more of its officers, directors or stockholders.
The Nevada Charter will acknowledge that the company may have overlapping directors and officers with other entities that compete with the company’s businesses and that the company may engage in material business transactions with such other entities. The company will renounce its rights to certain business opportunities and the Nevada Charter will provide that no director or officer of the company will breach their fiduciary duty and therefore be liable to the company or its stockholders by reason of the fact that any such individual directs a corporate opportunity to another person or entity instead of the company, or does not refer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the company, unless (x) such opportunity was expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the company or as a director or officer of the company’s subsidiaries and (y) such opportunity relates to a line of business in which the company or any of its subsidiaries is then directly engaged.

loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, unlawful repurchases, redemptions or dividends, or improper personal benefit or, in the case of such officers, in actions by or in the right of the corporation.
The Current Charter provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, the company’s directors are not liable to the company or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duties as a director.
|
| |
Under the NRS, unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation or pursuant to certain statutory exceptions, a director or officer is not liable for damages as a result of an act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless a statutory presumption that such person acted in good faith, on an informed basis and with a view to the interests of the corporation has been rebutted. In addition, it must be proven both that the act or failure to act constituted a breach of a fiduciary duty as a director or officer and that such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.
The NRS therefore (i) imposes a more stringent burden than under the DGCL regarding a breach of the duty of loyalty or deriving an improper personal benefit under the DGCL, (ii) applies that standard to officers as well as directors of the corporation, and (iii) does so without need to expressly adopt provisions in the articles of incorporation.
Under the Nevada Charter and Nevada Bylaws, no director or officer will be personally liable to the company, its stockholders or its creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS
|
| |
The DGCL generally permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers acting in good faith, subject to certain exceptions. Under the DGCL, the corporation through its stockholders, directors or independent legal counsel, will determine that the conduct of the person seeking indemnity conformed with the statutory provisions governing indemnity.
The Current Charter and Current Bylaws provide that the company will indemnify any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the company or is or was serving at the request of the company as a director, officer, employee or agent of

| |
The NRS generally permits a corporation to indemnify any director or officer who acted in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation (and, in the case of a non-derivative action involving a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful). Under the NRS, the person seeking indemnity may also be indemnified if he or she is not liable for his or her actions under Nevada law as described under “—Limitation of Liability of Directors and Officers” above.
The Nevada Charter and Nevada Bylaws will provide that the company will indemnify members of the Board of Directors and officers of the company and their respective heirs, personal representatives and

DIVIDENDS
|
| |
Unless further restricted in the certificate of incorporation, the DGCL permits a corporation to declare and pay dividends out of either (i) surplus, or (ii) if no surplus exists, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year (provided that the amount of capital of the corporation following the declaration and payment of dividend is not less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets), so long as the corporation is and remains solvent. The DGCL defines surplus as the excess, at any time, of the net assets of a corporation over its stated capital. In addition, the DGCL provides that a corporation may redeem or repurchase its shares only when the capital of the corporation is not impaired and only if such redemption or repurchase would not cause any impairment of the capital of the corporation.
The Current Certificate of Designations contains certain limitations on the payment of dividends to holders of LTRPA, LTRPB and Liberty TripAdvisor Series C common stock while shares of LTRPP are outstanding.
|
| |
The NRS provides that no distribution (including dividends on, or redemption or repurchases of, shares of capital stock) may be made if, after giving effect to such distribution, (i) the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or, (ii) except as otherwise specifically permitted by the articles of incorporation, the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed at the time of a dissolution to satisfy the preferential rights of preferred stockholders. In making those determinations, the Board of Directors may consider financial statements prepared on the basis of accounting practices that are reasonable in the circumstances, a fair valuation, including but not limited to unrealized appreciation and depreciation, or any other method that is reasonable in the circumstances.
The Nevada Certificate of Designations will contain certain limitations on the payment of dividends to holders of LTRPA-NV, LTRPB-NV and Liberty Tripadvisor-NV Series C common stock while shares of LTRPP-NV are outstanding.

STATE ANTI-TAKEOVER STATUTES
|
| | Section 203 of the DGCL generally prohibits “business combinations,” including mergers, sales and leases of assets, issuances of securities and certain other transactions, by a corporation or certain of its subsidiaries with an “interested stockholder” (as defined under Section 203 of the DGCL), for a period of three years after the person or entity becomes an interested stockholder unless: (i) the Board of Directors of the corporation has approved, before such person or entity became an interested stockholder, either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder, the person owns at least 85% of the “voting stock” of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced (excluding shares owned by directors who are officers and shares owned by employee stock plans in which participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer), or (iii) at or subsequent to the person or entity becoming an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized at a meeting of stockholders by the affirmative | | | Business Combinations: Sections 78.411 through 78.444 of the NRS (the Nevada Combinations Statute) generally prohibit “combinations”, including mergers, consolidations, sales and leases of assets, issuances of securities and similar transactions by a Nevada corporation having a requisite number (which the company expects to have) of stockholders of record, with any person who beneficially owns (or any affiliate or associate of the corporation who within the previous two years owned), directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation (an interested stockholder), within two years after such person first became an interested stockholder unless (i) the Board of Directors of the corporation approved the combination or transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder before the person first became an interested stockholder or (ii) the Board of Directors of the corporation has approved the combination in question and, at or after that time, such combination is approved at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the target corporation, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of holders of stock representing at least 60% of the outstanding voting power of | |

vote of at least 662∕3% of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.
The company has not opted out of the protections of Section 203 of the DGCL. As a result, the statute applies to the company; however, the Board of Directors previously approved each of Gregory B. Maffei and certain of his related persons as an “interested stockholder” and the acquisition by such persons of shares of the company’s common stock, in each case, for purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL.
|

the target corporation not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder or the affiliates or associates of the interested stockholder.
Beginning two years after the date the person first became an interested stockholder, a combination may also be permitted if the interested stockholder satisfies certain requirements with respect to the aggregate consideration to be received by holders of outstanding shares in the combination. The Nevada Combinations Statute does not apply to combinations with an interested stockholder after the expiration of four years from when the person first became an interested stockholder.
The Nevada Charter will elect not to be governed by the Nevada Combinations Statute.
Acquisitions of a Controlling Interest: Sections 78.378 through 78.3793, inclusive, of the NRS (the Nevada Control Share Statute), pertaining to the acquisition of controlling interests, apply to “issuing corporations” that are Nevada corporations doing business, directly or through an affiliate, in Nevada and having at least 200 stockholders of record, including at least 100 of whom have addresses in Nevada appearing on the stock ledger of the corporation. Under those provisions, any person who acquires a controlling interest in a corporation may not exercise voting rights of any “control shares” unless such voting rights are conferred by a majority vote of the disinterested stockholders of the issuing corporation at a special meeting of such stockholders held upon the request and at the expense of the acquiring person. The statute applies to acquisition of a “controlling interest” in ownership of outstanding voting shares of an issuing corporation sufficient to enable the acquiring person, individually or in association with others, directly or indirectly, to exercise (i) one fifth or more but less than one third, (ii) one third or more but less than a majority or (iii) a majority or more of the voting power of the issuing corporation in the election of directors, and voting rights must be conferred by a majority of the disinterested stockholders as each threshold is reached and/or exceeded. “Control shares” also

include shares acquired by persons acting in association with an acquiring person and those acquired within 90 days immediately preceding the date of the acquisition triggering the statute. In the event that the control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person acquires control shares with a majority or more of all the voting power, any stockholder, other than the acquiring person, who does not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights for the control shares is entitled to demand payment for the fair value of such person’s shares pursuant to the Nevada dissenter’s rights statute.
The Nevada Control Share Statute does not apply to any acquisition of a controlling interest in an issuing corporation if the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation in effect on the 10th day following the acquisition of a controlling interest by the acquiring person provide that the provisions of those sections do not apply to the corporation or to an acquisition of a controlling interest specifically by types of existing or future stockholders, whether or not identified. Therefore, the Board of Directors of a Nevada corporation may usually unilaterally avoid the imposition of burdens imposed by the control share statute by amending the bylaws of the corporation in connection with a transaction. A Nevada corporation may impose stricter requirements if it so desires.
The Nevada Charter will opt out of the provisions of the Nevada Control Share Statute.

FIDUCIARY DUTIES OF DIRECTORS
|
| | Under Delaware law, the standards of conduct for directors have developed through Delaware case law. Generally, directors must exercise a duty of care and duty of loyalty and good faith to the company and its stockholders. Members of the Board of Directors or any committee designated by the Board of Directors are similarly entitled to rely in good faith upon the records of the corporation and upon such information, opinions, reports and statements presented to the corporation by corporate officers, employees, committees of the Board of Directors or other persons as to matters such member reasonably | | | Nevada has statutorily defined the fiduciary duties of directors and officers and the operation of the “business judgment rule” for Nevada corporations. The NRS defines the fiduciary duties of directors and officers of Nevada corporations as exercising their powers in good faith and with a view to the interests of the corporation.

See “Limitation of Liability of Directors and Officers”. In exercising their powers, directors and officers are entitled to rely on | |

Directors or officers may also rely on counsel, public accountants, financial advisers, valuation advisers, investment bankers or other persons as to matters reasonably believed to be within their professional or expert competence, and to the work of a committee (on which the particular director or officer does not serve) if the committee was established and empowered by the corporation’s Board of Directors, and if the committee’s work was within its designated authority and was about matters on which the committee was reasonably believed to merit confidence. However, directors and officers may not rely on such information, opinions, reports, books of account or similar statements if they have knowledge concerning the matter in question that would make such reliance unwarranted. | |
|
FLEXIBILITY FOR DECISIONS, INCLUDING TAKEOVERS
|
| |
The DGCL does not provide a list of statutory factors that corporate directors and officers may consider in making decisions. Under Delaware common law, directors’ conduct may be subject to enhanced scrutiny in respect of, among other matters, defensive actions taken in response to a potential change of control and approval of certain transactions involving a sale, breakup or change of control.
With respect to defensive actions taken in response to a potential change of control, directors’ decisions are protected by the business judgment rule, as long as a two-part test is satisfied. The test requires that: (1) the Board show reasonable grounds for the belief that a danger to corporate policy and effectiveness existed; and (2) the defensive measures taken are reasonable in relation to the threat posed (i.e., that the defensive measure must not be “coercive or preclusive” and must be within the range of reasonable responses to the threat posed).
|
| |
Director and officer actions taken in response to a change or potential change in control that do not disenfranchise stockholders are granted the benefits of the business judgment rule. However, in the case of an action that impedes the rights of stockholders to vote for or remove directors, directors will only be given the advantages of the business judgment rule if the directors have reasonable grounds to believe a threat to corporate policy and effectiveness exists and the action taken that impedes the exercise of the stockholders’ rights is reasonable in relation to such threat.
In exercising their powers in response to a change or potential change of control, directors and officers of Nevada corporations may consider all relevant facts, circumstances, contingencies or constituencies and is not required to consider, as a dominant factor, the effect of a proposed corporate action upon any particular group or constituency having an interest in the corporation.

INTERESTED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
|
| | The DGCL provides that no contract or transaction between a company and one or more of its directors or officers, or between a company and any other entity of which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers, or in which one or more of its directors or officers have a financial interest, is void or voidable solely for such reason or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee authorizing the contract or transaction or because such directors’ votes are counted for such purpose if: (1) the material facts as to the director’s or officer’s relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or known to the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, and the Board or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors are less than a quorum; (2) the material facts as to the director’s or officer’s relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by the stockholders; or (3) the contract or transaction is fair to the company as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or stockholders. | | | Under the NRS, a contract or transaction between a corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between a corporation and any other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers, or are financially interested, is not void or voidable solely for that reason, if one or more of the following circumstances exist: (1) the director’s or officer’s interest is known to the Board of Directors or stockholders and the transaction is approved by the Board or stockholders in good faith without counting the vote or votes of the interested director or officer; (2) the common interest is known to the stockholders, and the stockholders holding a majority of the voting power approve or ratify the transaction in good faith; (3) the common interest is not known to the interested director or officer at the time the transaction is brought before the Board; or (4) the transaction is fair to the corporation at the time it is authorized or approved. | |

In addition, the NRS grants certain stockholders the right to inspect the books of account and records of a corporation for any proper purpose. The right to inspect the books of account and all financial records of a corporation, to make copies of records and to conduct an audit of such records is granted only to a stockholder who owns at least 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of a Nevada corporation, or who has been authorized in writing by the holders of at least 15% of such shares. However, these requirements do not apply to any corporation that furnishes to its stockholders a detailed, annual financial statement or any corporation that has filed during the preceding 12 months all reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

APPRAISAL RIGHTS / DISSENTER’S RIGHTS
|
| | Under the DGCL, a stockholder who has neither voted in favor of certain mergers, consolidations or conversions of a corporation to another entity, nor consented thereto in writing, who has properly demanded appraisal of their shares, and who otherwise complies with the requirements for perfecting and preserving their appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL may be entitled to receive payment in cash for the fair value of their shares (exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of such merger, consolidation or conversion), together with interest (if any) to | | |
A stockholder of a Nevada corporation may be entitled to dissent from certain transactions involving the Nevada corporation, including a merger for which the approval of stockholders is required, and obtain payment of the fair value of his or her shares.
However, there is no right of dissent in favor of stockholders of: (i) any class or series which is a covered security under section 18(b)(1)(A) or (B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act); (ii) any class or series which is traded in an organized market, has at least 2,000

be paid on the amount determined to be fair value of such shares, as appraised by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in an appraisal proceeding. However, unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, appraisal rights are not available for shares of capital stock that, at the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders (or at the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to consent pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL) to act upon the merger, consolidation or conversion, are either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders. Further, unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, no appraisal rights are available to stockholders of the surviving corporation if the merger did not require the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in Section 251(f) of the DGCL.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, appraisal rights are available if stockholders are required to accept for their shares anything other than (i) shares of capital stock of the surviving corporation (or of the converted entity if such entity is a corporation), (ii) shares of capital stock of another corporation that will either be listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders, (iii) cash in lieu of fractional shares or (iv) any combination of clauses (i) – (iii). Appraisal rights are also available under the DGCL in certain other circumstances, including in certain parent-subsidiary mergers and in certain circumstances where the certificate of incorporation so provides.
Neither the Current Charter nor the Current Bylaws provide for appraisal rights in any additional circumstance other than as required by applicable law. See Section 262 of the DGCL.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, dissenter’s rights are available if stockholders are required by the terms of the corporate action to accept for their shares anything other than (i) cash, (ii) securities or other proprietary interests shares of any other entity that will satisfy the marketability standards set forth in the prior paragraph, or (iii) any combination of clauses (i) and (ii).
A stockholder who wishes to assert dissenter’s rights must comply with all of the requirements for asserting and preserving their dissenter’s rights under NRS Section 92A.300 – 92A.500, including delivering a statement of intent with respect to the corporate action prior to the taking of the vote (or the date set in an advance notice statement given by the company in the case of an action to be taken by written consent of the stockholders), and delivering a written demand for payment by the date set in a dissenter’s notice given by the corporation.
Neither the Nevada Charter nor the Nevada Bylaws will provide for dissenter’s rights in any additional circumstance other than as required by applicable law.

In addition, the Nevada Charter will provide that, unless the company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. The Nevada Charter will further provide that, for the avoidance of doubt, this exclusive forum provision shall not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder; there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce a provision which restricts the courts in which claims arising under the Securities Act may be brought. | |
