Proposals 4 and 5 are the most important items on the ballot!

It is time to tell Stephen Wagner, the Chairman of the Dover Corporation Corporate Governance Committee, to get serious about passing proposals 4 and 5 – the most important items on the ballot:

Proposal 4 – Approval of Amendments to Article 15 of Our Charter to Eliminate Super-Majority Voting Requirement
Proposal 5 – Approval of Amendments to Article 16 of Our Charter to Eliminate Super-Majority Voting Requirement

Due to the antiquated Dover Corporation corporate governance these 2 items need 80% of the vote from every last share of Dover stock in the attic.
A share that is not voted is the same as a share that votes no.
Mr. Wagner needs a wake-up call. What is the excuse for Dover to obtain 79% failed votes on similar proposals in 2017 and 2018?
One can be almost sure that if an executive pay proposal was about to fail by 1% that somehow the 1% deficit would be eliminated.

It would be egg-on-the-face of the Board and Mr. Wagner to come close to obtaining the necessary votes and still fail on these 2 important proposals.

Apparently Mr. Wagner can be contacted through:
Andrey Galiuk  <agaliuk@dovercorp.com>
Vice President - Corporate Development and Investor Relations

If Against votes are cast for Mr. Wagner then perhaps he will feel incentivized to avoid a 3rd consecutive near-miss on these important proposals.
