Limit Liability of Huntsman Officers?

Proposal 5

The first sign that Proposal 5 is not a good idea is that Huntsman fails to publish this title on the ballot. Yet “Limit Liability of Officers” is the most important change in Proposal 5.

Plus the purported rationale for Proposal 5 is flawed. Huntsman claims that this will not impact stockholder rights. This is like saying that if one signs a contract with a contractor to remodel a kitchen and then halfway through the job the contractor asks that the customer sign a Limit Liability of Contractor amendment and the contractor then claims the customer will still have the same rights.

Huntsman makes the dubious claim that it will be more difficult to get quality officers unless shareholders limit Huntsman officer liability. It appears that the proposed Huntsman degradation of officer liability will be as low as possible under law.

Please look for this same topic to be on the ballots of other companies during this proxy voting season.

If one believes that Huntsman should have given Proposal 5 a meaningful title on the ballot one can cast an against vote regarding Ms. Cynthia Egan, Chair of the Governance Committee.
