Post Holdings, Inc. shareholders approved significant amendments to the company's Articles of Incorporation, reducing supermajority voting requirements for key corporate actions. These changes, which include lowering the threshold for director removal and the approval of certain business combinations with interested shareholders, streamline corporate governance.
