Shareholders request that the board of directors take the necessary steps to permit written consent by the shareholders entitled to cast the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize an action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote thereon were present and voting (without any unnecessary restriction based on length of stock ownership or the method by which shareholders hold their shares). This includes that there be no additional requirements, including procedural requirements, in regard to shareholders acting by written consent other than those specified in § 228 DGCL. Shareholders acting by written consent is a means that shareholders of a company can use to put forth a proposal on a timely basis without waiting for the next annual shareholder meeting. To guard against the MSFT Board of Directors and management becoming complacent shareholders need the ability to act by written consent and to call for a special shareholder meeting. Written consent is a shareholder right that requires the formal backing of a MSFT majority based on all shares outstanding. This majority support requirement in reality is much more than majority support because it is not economically possible to contact a significant percent of MSFT shares to get their formal backing. Thus for an issue to still get majority support, based on all shares outstanding, under written consent it could easily need more than 60% support from the MSFT shares are economically possible to reach. How can MSFT be opposed to a 60% majority? Being opposed to this proposal means being opposed to decisions by a 60% majority of MSFT shareholders. Please be in favor of 60% majority decisions and vote for a Shareholder Right to Act by Written Consent - Proposal 4
