Sinclair Elects Board And Ratifies Independent Auditor

Sinclair Broadcast Group said its shareholders elected the nominated nine directors at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting on June 4.

The elected directors are David D. Smith, executive chairman, chairman of the board of the company; Frederick G. Smith, director and vice president of the company; J. Duncan Smith, director, vice president and secretary of the company; Robert E. Smith, director; Lawrence E. McCanna, director; Daniel C. Keith, director; Martin R. Leader, director; Howard E. Friedman, director; and Benson E. Legg, director.

The shareholders also ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, and approved the proposed non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation.

The shareholders did not ratify a shareholder proposal requesting the adoption of a policy on a majority vote standard for uncontested board elections. A tabulation of the votes on these matters will be included in a current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
