othat any stockholder submitting a nomination provide Chemed with reasonable documentary evidence five business days prior to the meeting (or any adjournment, postponement or rescheduling thereof) that the representations with respect to Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act required to be set forth in such stockholder’s nomination notice have been complied with; and
othat any stockholder that submitted a nomination notice provide Chemed with notice if such stockholder no longer intends to solicit proxies; and
clarify the powers and obligations of the presiding person of a stockholder meeting to determine whether any business proposals submitted, and director nominations made by stockholders were made in accordance with the requirements set forth in the By-Laws.
The By-Laws also incorporate other minor updates and technical, clarifying and conforming changes.
