On March 6, 2024, The Sherwin-Williams Company announced that it has received a shareholder proposal from John Chevedden requesting Board to take each step necessary so that each voting requirement in our charter and bylaws (that is explicit or implicit due to default to state law) that calls for a greater than simple majority vote be replaced by a requirement for a majority of the votes cast for and against applicable proposals, or a simple majority in compliance with applicable laws. If necessary, this means the closest standard to a majority of the votes cast for and against such proposals consistent with applicable laws. In addition, the board has recommended shareholders to vote against this proposal at the 2024 Annual Meeting to be held on April 17, 2024.
