The approval of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation significantly alters Entegris's corporate governance by removing all supermajority voting requirements. This change, effective May 7, 2026, streamlines decision-making and generally empowers shareholders by requiring only a majority vote for key corporate actions, including the election of directors. While stockholders also passed an advisory vote in favor of the right to call special meetings, a specific stockholder proposal to implement this right failed, and the company's amended charter explicitly reserves this right to the Board and executive officers. This creates a mixed signal regarding the extent of shareholder empowerment beyond the elimination of supermajority voting.
