Supporting Statement: When Braemar shareholders give a director a no confidence vote it is important that the Braemar Board respects the vote of shareholders and not override such a shareholder no confidence vote. Under the current rules the Braemar Board of Directors could be the cheerleaders for a director, or several directors, who fail to get a majority vote from Braemar shareholders and then keep such a failed director on the Braemar Board in spite of shareholder rejection. Under these rules, a BHR director could be kept on the BHR Board year after year of failed votes. The current rule is hardly the type of rule that would inspire BHR directors to excellent performance. This proposal could improve director performance because a failed vote would have more of a consequence. Currently, a director with a failed vote could remain on the Board continuously for years into the future. This is not a theoretical issue – in the company’s 2024 election, several directors failed to receive a majority vote, and the board rejected the resignations of three directors, including Monty Bennett. Shareholders have spoken and they want change. If the board fails to listen to the shareholder vote, it leaves shareholders disenfranchised.
