NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Basis of Presentation and Our Divisions


 

Basis of Presentation

 

Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 14, 2003 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the 12 and 24 weeks ended June 14, 2003 and June 15, 2002 and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the 24 weeks ended June 14, 2003 and June 15, 2002 have not been audited. These statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2002. In our opinion, these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The results for the 12 and 24 weeks are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year.

 

Our significant interim accounting policies include the recognition of sales incentives during the year incurred, generally in proportion to sales, and the recognition of income taxes using an effective tax rate. For additional unaudited information on these policies, see Our Critical Accounting Policies in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

 

As of the beginning of 2003, The Quaker Oats Company (Quaker) businesses in the United States (Gatorade and Quaker snacks and foods) changed their reporting calendar from months to fiscal periods to conform to PepsiCo’s calendar. As a result of this change, prior year quarterly results have been adjusted. This change did not impact full year results.

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. This interpretation requires consolidation of existing noncontrolled affiliates if the affiliate is unable to finance its operations without investor support, or where the other investors do not have exposure to the significant risks and rewards of ownership. We do not expect our significant noncontrolled affiliates to require consolidation under FIN 46.

 

The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF 01-8, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease. We are currently evaluating the impact of this consensus on certain of our raw material and copacking arrangements.

 

The following information is unaudited. Tabular dollars are in millions, except per share amounts. All per share amounts reflect common per share amounts, assume dilution unless noted and are based on unrounded amounts. This report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2002.

 

Our Divisions

 

Division results are based on how our Chief Executive Officer manages our businesses. Beginning in 2003, we combined our North American beverage businesses as PepsiCo Beverages North America and our international snack, food and beverage businesses as PepsiCo International to reflect operating management changes. Prior year results are presented to reflect this change.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

FINANCIAL REVIEW


 

Our discussion and analysis is an integral part of understanding our financial results. Also refer to Basis of Presentation and Our Divisions in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Tabular dollars are presented in millions, except per share amounts. All per share amounts reflect common per share amounts, assume dilution unless noted, and are based on unrounded amounts. Percentage changes are based on unrounded amounts.

 

Our Critical Accounting Policies


 

In addition to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2002, an understanding of our interim sales incentives and effective tax rate policies is necessary to analyze our quarterly financial results. As a result of these policies, estimates are included, and may significantly impact our quarterly results.

 

Sales Incentives

 

We offer sales incentives through various programs to our customers and consumers. These incentives are recorded as a reduction of the sales price of our products. Certain promotional allowances are recognized at the time of the sale while other incentives, such as bottler funding and customer volume rebates, are recognized during the year incurred, generally in proportion to revenue, based on anticipated final payment which is estimated from historical experience with similar programs.

 

Effective Tax Rate

 

In determining our quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an annual effective tax rate which is based on our expected annual income, statutory rates and tax planning opportunities. Our effective tax rate reflects our best estimate of the ultimate outcome of tax audits. Significant or unusual items, such as the tax benefits from merger-related costs and taxes related to the sales of businesses, are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur.

 

Our Business Risks


 

We discuss expectations regarding our future performance, such as business outlook in our annual and quarterly reports, press releases, and other written and oral statements. These “forward-looking statements” are based on currently available competitive, financial and economic data and our operating plans. They are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that events could turn out to be significantly different from our expectations.

 

Our operations outside of North America generate approximately 30% of our net revenue. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency risks. During the quarter, declines in the Mexican peso and Brazilian real were substantially offset by increases in the British pound and the euro. For 2003, the unfavorable impact of the Mexican peso is expected to be partially offset by the favorable impact of the British pound and euro, however, continued weakness in the Mexican peso could adversely affect our results.

Table of Contents

Cautionary statements regarding our trends and future results were included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2002. In particular, you should consider the following factors in 2003:

 

  the success of our product introductions and innovation,

 

  the weak macroeconomic conditions in Latin America,

 

  increasing commodity costs, and

 

  continuing retailer consolidation.

 

Results of Operations—Consolidated Review


 

In the discussions of net revenue and operating profit below, volume reflects the year-over-year impact of selling more physical units, absent any year-over-year changes in price or cost. Effective net pricing reflects the year-over-year impact of discrete pricing actions, the impact of sales incentives and mix resulting from selling varying products in different package sizes and in different countries.

 

Items Affecting Comparability

 

We incurred costs associated with our merger with Quaker of $11 million ($9 million after-tax) for the 12 weeks and $22 million ($19 million after-tax or $0.01 per share) for the 24 weeks ended June 14, 2003. We recognized $65 million ($52 million after-tax or $0.03 per share) for the 12 weeks and $101 million ($82 million after-tax or $0.04 per share) for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2002. See Merger-Related Costs in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

During the first quarter, we sold our Quaker Foods North America’s Mission pasta business. The transaction resulted in a net gain of $25 million ($16 million after-tax and $0.01 per share). This gain has been included in our divested business results for the 24 weeks ended June 14, 2003.

 

Volume

 

Since our divisions each use different measures of physical unit volume, a common servings metric is necessary to reflect our consolidated physical unit volume. Total division servings increased 5% for the 12 weeks, with worldwide beverages growing 5% and worldwide snacks growing 4%. For the 24 weeks, total division servings grew 4%, with worldwide beverages and worldwide snacks each growing 4%.

12 Weeks

 

Net revenue increased 7% primarily due to volume gains across all divisions and higher effective net pricing, reflecting favorable mix as well as concentrate and fountain pricing, partially offset by increased promotional spending. The volume gains contributed approximately 4 percentage points to the revenue growth.

 

Division operating profit increased 9% and division operating profit margin increased 0.3 percentage points. Costs of sales increased 9%, ahead of volume growth, reflecting the mix change to higher cost products in North America and increased commodity costs, particularly corn oil and natural gas. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 5% driven by higher selling and distribution costs reflecting the increased volume and the impact of inflation from U.S. dollar denominated costs in Brazil and Mexico.

 

Foreign currencies had no significant impact on net revenue or operating profit growth.

 

24 Weeks

 

Net revenue increased 6% primarily due to volume gains across all divisions and higher effective net pricing, reflecting favorable mix as well as concentrate and fountain pricing, partially offset by increased promotional spending. The volume gains contributed nearly 4 percentage points to the revenue growth.

 

Division operating profit increased 8% and operating profit margin increased 0.4 percentage points. Cost of sales increased 7%, ahead of volume growth, reflecting the mix change to higher cost products in North America and increased commodity costs, particularly corn oil and natural gas.

Corporate Unallocated

 

Corporate unallocated includes costs of our corporate headquarters, centrally managed initiatives, unallocated insurance and benefit programs, foreign exchange transaction gains and losses and certain one-time charges.

 

For the 12 weeks, corporate unallocated expenses increased 9% reflecting higher costs relating to deferred compensation programs and other employee benefits, partially offset by a legal settlement gain. Departmental expenses, which exclude spending behind our Business Process Optimization initiative, were flat.

 

For the 24 weeks, corporate unallocated costs declined nearly 1% primarily due to higher foundation contributions in the prior year, the legal settlement gain in the current year and favorable transactional foreign exchange comparisons. This favorability was partially offset by increased deferred compensation and other employee benefit costs. Departmental expenses increased 2%.

 

Merger-related Costs

 

For the 12 and 24 week period, total operating profit and operating profit margin benefited from the margin impact of lower merger-related costs. For additional information on merger-related costs, see Merger-related Costs in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Divested Businesses

 

See Items Affecting Comparability above.

 

Outlook

 

For the remainder of 2003, we expect benefit from the previously implemented price increases on our concentrate and fountain products and ready-to-eat cereals. We expect operating margins to continue to improve as a result of ongoing productivity initiatives. Better-for-you products are expected to contribute an increasing percentage of our global portfolio of products, particularly at Frito-Lay North America. We expect commodity costs to continue to negatively impact our operating profit growth. Also, see Our Business Risks above.

12 Weeks

 

Bottling equity income increased 2% as favorable comparisons from our international bottling investments were partially offset by soft earnings from our U.S. anchor bottlers.

 

Interest expense, net of interest income, declined 42% primarily due to a gain of $10 million on our investments used to economically hedge a portion of the change in our deferred compensation liability versus a loss of $8 million in the prior year. The offset to this gain is reflected in corporate unallocated within selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

The tax rate decreased 1.1 percentage points compared to prior year. The lower tax rate is primarily associated with our new concentrate plant, as well as a reduction in merger-related costs with lower tax benefit which contributed approximately 0.4 percentage point to this decline. The lower benefit from merger-related costs, increased our second quarter 2003 tax rate by 0.1 percentage point.

 

Net income increased 15% and the related net income per share increased 19%. These increases primarily reflect improved operating results which contributed 8 percentage points to this growth and lower merger-related costs which contributed 5 percentage points. Lower net interest expense and a lower tax rate also contributed to the growth. In addition, net income per common share growth reflects the benefit of a reduction in average shares outstanding primarily as a result of our share buyback program.

Bottling equity income decreased 8% primarily due to lower earnings from our U.S. anchor bottlers, partially offset by favorable comparisons from our international bottling investments.

Table of Contents

Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased 8% primarily due to a comparative gain of $11 million on our investments used to economically hedge a portion of the change in our deferred compensation liability versus a loss of $8 million in the prior year. The offset to this gain is reflected in corporate unallocated within selling, general and administrative expenses. This gain was partially offset by lower average investment balances.

 

The tax rate decreased 1.1 percentage points compared to prior year. The lower tax rate is primarily associated with our new concentrate plant, as well as a reduction in merger-related costs with lower tax benefit which contributed approximately 0.4 percentage point to this decline. The lower benefit from merger-related costs increased our year-to-date 2003 tax rate by 0.1 percentage point.

 

Net income increased 14% and the related net income per share increased 18%. These increases primarily reflect improved operating results which contributed 9 percentage points to this growth, and lower merger-related costs which contributed 4 percentage points. Net income per common share growth also reflects the benefit of a reduction in average shares outstanding primarily as a result of our share buyback program.

 

Results of Operations—Division Review

12 Weeks

 

Pound volume grew almost 4% primarily due to new products, double-digit growth in Cheetos, Munchies snack mix and Quaker Chewy Granola bars, and single-digit growth in Doritos. Quaker Toastables led the new product growth. These gains were partially offset by double-digit declines in Rold Gold, Bistro Lays and Go Snacks due to the overlap with prior year innovation.

 

Net revenue and operating profit growth of 6% reflects the volume growth and positive net effective pricing. Better-for-you products, with less fat, fewer calories or lower sodium, generated more than 10% of the 2003 net revenue. These higher priced products contributed to the positive net effective pricing which more than offset the higher trade spending on warehouse-distributed product innovation. Increased commodity costs, particularly corn oil and natural gas, and Stax start-up costs reduced operating profit growth by 4 percentage points, more than offsetting cost leverage generated from recent productivity initiatives.

12 Weeks

 

Volume increased over 4% reflecting non-carbonated beverage growth of 8% and carbonated beverage growth of 3%, an improvement from the first quarter. The noncarbonated growth was fueled by double-digit growth in Gatorade. Aquafina also contributed with double-digit growth as did Propel fitness water, which benefited from new flavors launched during the first quarter. The chilled juice portfolio grew slightly, led by Tropicana Pure Premium, but was more than offset by declines in the juice drinks portfolio. The carbonated beverage performance reflects growth from the national launch of Sierra Mist, mid single-digit growth in trademark Mountain Dew, as a result of the summer-only offering of LiveWire, and high single-digit diet carbonated soft drink growth, primarily Diet Pepsi. Continued declines in trademark Pepsi, other than diet, partially offset this carbonated beverage growth.

 

Net revenue increased 7% and operating profit increased 10% reflecting higher effective net pricing and the increased volume. Higher effective net pricing resulted from a favorable product mix shift due to the Gatorade growth, as well as concentrate and fountain price increases. The price increases contributed nearly 2 percentage points to the net revenue growth and 7 percentage points to operating profit growth. Advertising and marketing costs grew at a slower rate than sales contributing to the operating profit margin improvement.

Volume increased 2% reflecting non-carbonated beverage growth of 8% and flat carbonated beverage volume. Double-digit growth in both Gatorade and Aquafina fueled the non-carbonated growth. Propel fitness water also contributed to the growth reflecting strong performance from new flavors launched during the first quarter. The carbonated beverage performance was driven by the national launch of Sierra Mist, mid single-digit growth in Diet Pepsi and the summer-only offering of Mountain Dew LiveWire. Declines in trademark Pepsi, excluding diet, and Mountain Dew, excluding LiveWire, offset this carbonated beverage growth.

 

Net revenue increased 6% and operating profit increased 8% reflecting higher effective net pricing and the increased volume growth. The higher effective net pricing reflects a favorable product mix shift resulting from the Gatorade growth and concentrate and fountain price increases, partially offset by increased promotional spending. The price increases contributed 2 percentage points to the net revenue growth and 8 percentage points to operating profit growth. Advertising and marketing costs grew at a slower rate than sales contributing to the operating profit margin improvement.

Volume increased almost 3% primarily reflecting the national launch of Breakfast Squares and growth in Oatmeal to Go in Canada. Growth in other foods was offset by declines in Rice and Pasta Roni side dishes.

 

Net revenue increased 1% and operating profit declined 1%. Net revenue growth fell short of volume growth due to lower effective net pricing reflecting increased promotional spending as a result of changes in product and channel mix. Ready-to-eat cereal price increases were offset by unfavorable product and channel mix. Operating profit growth was reduced by higher commodity costs, principally oats and fuel costs, and general and administrative expenses. The increased general and administrative expenses resulted from higher employee-related costs and reduced operating profit growth by nearly 5 percentage points.

International snacks volume grew 6% primarily due to double-digit sweet growth at Gamesa in Mexico. Salty growth was low single-digit reflecting single-digit growth at Walkers in the United Kingdom led by the acquisition of Wotsits snack brand, and double-digit growth in Turkey, offset by a slight decline at Sabritas in Mexico. International beverages volume grew 6% led by strong double-digit growth in India, Brazil, Thailand and Russia. Volume gains in India were driven by competitive pricing actions. These advances were partially offset by double-digit declines in Germany due to the new one-way bottle deposit requirement introduced in the beginning of 2003.

 

Growth in net revenue of 10% and operating profit of 14% primarily reflects the volume growth. Higher net effective pricing in Brazil and Mexico was partially offset by the competitive pricing actions in India. The acquisition of the Wotsits snack brand in the United Kingdom contributed 1 percentage point to net revenue growth and nearly 2 percentage points to operating profit growth. These operating profit gains were partially offset by the impact of inflation from U.S. dollar denominated costs in Brazil and Mexico.

 

Foreign currency was not a factor in net revenue growth as unfavorable Mexican peso and Brazilian real rates substantially offset favorable British pound and euro rates. Net unfavorable foreign currencies, reflecting the unfavorable Mexican peso partially offset by the favorable British pound and euro, reduced operating profit growth by 2 percentage points.

Growth in net revenue of 8% and operating profit of 13% primarily reflects the volume growth.

These gains were partially offset by the impact of inflation from U.S. dollar denominated costs in Brazil and Mexico.

 

Net unfavorable foreign currencies, reflecting the unfavorable Mexican peso partially offset by the favorable British pound and euro, reduced net revenue growth by 1 percentage point and operating profit growth by 4 percentage points.

 

OUR LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities of $1.7 billion reflects our solid business results offset by an increase in working capital. The working capital increase primarily reflected the seasonal build, the timing of payments, principally related to marketplace spending, and higher than normal accounts payable balances at year-end 2002. These uses of working capital were partially offset by an increase in income taxes payable. Quaker integration and restructuring costs of $67 million were paid during the 24 weeks ended June 14, 2003.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used for investing activities of $1.3 billion primarily reflects higher short-term investments of $753 million and capital spending of $578 million. Capital spending was $72 million higher than the same period in 2002 primarily due to the construction of our new concentrate plant and production lines for Stax. We anticipate that future spending on plant, equipment and information technology will continue to support our business growth and ongoing business initiatives at the historical rate of approximately 5.5% to 6% of net revenue or approximately $1.5 billion.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash used for financing activities of $1.2 billion primarily reflects payments of long-term debt of $539 million, dividend payments of $518 million and common share repurchases of $468 million.

 

During the quarter, we repurchased 3.3 million shares at a cost of $137 million. From the beginning of the year through July 7, 2003, we repurchased 11.7 million shares at a cost of $486 million. We expect to spend between $1 billion and $1.5 billion to buy back shares during the remainder of 2003.

Table of Contents

Management Operating Cash Flow

 

Management operating cash flow is the primary measure management uses to monitor cash flow performance. It is not a measure calculated under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Since net capital spending is essential to our product innovation initiatives and maintaining our operational capabilities, we believe that it is a recurring and necessary use of cash. As such, we believe investors should also consider net capital spending when evaluating our cash from operating activities. The table below reconciles net cash provided by operating activities as reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to our management operating cash flow.

Management operating cash flow for the 24 weeks ended June 14, 2003 was approximately $368 million lower than the same period in 2002. This comparative decrease primarily reflects the timing of payments and the increased capital spending. We anticipate management operating cash flow of approximately $3 billion for the full-year in 2003.

We have reviewed the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 14, 2003 and the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the twelve and twenty-four weeks ended June 14, 2003 and June 15, 2002 and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the twenty-four weeks ended June 14, 2003 and June 15, 2002. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of PepsiCo, Inc.’s management.

 

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

As discussed in Basis of Presentation and Our Divisions in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, PepsiCo, Inc. changed the reporting calendar from months to fiscal periods for certain of its businesses. Prior year quarterly results have been restated for this change.

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the Consolidated Balance Sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 28, 2002, and the related Consolidated Statements of Income, Common Shareholders’ Equity and Cash Flows for the year then ended not presented herein; and in our report dated February 6, 2003, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 28, 2002, is fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to the Consolidated Balance Sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material information required to be included in our periodic filings with the SEC.

 

In addition, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect these internal controls over financial reporting subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation.

For nominations or other proper business to be brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must give written notice thereof to the Secretary of the Corporation, with such notice to be received at the principal office of the Corporation no less that 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. Such stockholder notice shall set forth: (A) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected; (B) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder; and (C) the name and address of such stockholder as it appears on the Corporation’s books, and the number of shares of the Corporation’s stock which are owned by such stockholder.

 

Section 2.3       Special Meetings.  A special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called at any time by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board or


the Board, and shall be called by the Secretary upon the written request of stockholders owning a majority of shares of the common stock of the Corporation outstanding and entitled to vote at such meeting. Such special meeting shall be held at such time and at such place within or without the State of North Carolina as may be fixed by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board, in the case of meetings called by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board, or by resolution of the Board, in the case of meetings called by the Board; and any meeting called at the request of stockholders pursuant hereto shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation within ninety (90) days from the receipt by the Secretary of such request.

Section 2.4       Notice of Meetings.  Except as otherwise prescribed by statute, the Articles of Incorporation or these By-Laws, notice of each meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, whether annual or special, shall be given at least ten (10) days before the day on which the meeting is to be held to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat, by mailing a written or printed notice thereof, postage prepaid, addressed to him at his address as it appears on the stock ledger of the Corporation or, in the absence of knowledge on the part of the Corporation of any such address, then at the principal office of the Corporation in the State of North Carolina. Except as otherwise prescribed by statute, notice of any adjourned meeting of stockholders need not be given.

 

Section 2.5       Quorum, Presiding Officer.  Except as otherwise prescribed by statute, the Articles of Incorporation or these By-Laws, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereat shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum at such meeting or any adjournment or adjournments thereof, the holders of record of a majority of such shares so present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat or, in the absence of all the stockholders, any officer entitled to preside at or act as Secretary of the meeting, may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be present. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. Meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board, or, if neither is present, by another officer or director who shall be designated to serve in such event by the Board. The Secretary of the Corporation, or an Assistant Secretary designated by the officer presiding at the meeting, shall act as Secretary of the meeting.

No proxy shall be voted after eleven (11) months from its date unless said proxy provides for a longer period. Shares of its own common stock belonging to the Corporation shall not be voted either directly or indirectly. At all meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation, a quorum being present, all matters (except as otherwise expressly prescribed by statute, the Articles of Incorporation or these By-Laws) shall be decided by the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation, present in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote thereat. The vote for the election of directors, other matters expressly prescribed by statute, and, upon the direction of the presiding officer of the meeting, the vote on any other question before the meeting, shall be by ballot. At all meetings of stockholders, the polls shall be opened and closed, the proxies and ballots shall be received, taken in charge and examined, and all questions concerning the qualifications of voters, the validity of proxies and the acceptance or rejection of proxies and of votes shall be decided by three (3) inspectors of election. Such inspectors of election, together with one alternate, to serve in the event of death, inability or refusal by any of said inspectors of election to serve at the meeting, none of whom need be a stockholder of the Corporation, shall be appointed by the Board, or, if no such appointment or appointments shall have been made, then by the presiding officer at the meeting.

No director or candidate for the office of director shall be appointed as an inspector. Each inspector shall take and subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. After the balloting, the inspectors shall make a certificate of the result of the vote taken.

 

Section 2.7       Lists of Stockholders.  It shall be the duty of the officer of the Corporation who shall have charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation, either directly or through another officer designated by him or through a transfer agent or transfer clerk appointed by the Board, to prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every election of directors, a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at said election, arranged in alphabetical order.

Except as otherwise prescribed by statute, the Articles of Incorporation or these By-Laws, and except in the case of a special meeting of the Board called for the purpose of removing an officer or officers of the Corporation or the filling of a vacancy or vacancies in the Board or of amending the By-Laws, notice or waivers of

Any meeting of the Board may be adjourned by a majority vote of the directors present at such meeting. In the absence of a quorum, the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board or a majority of the directors present may adjourn such meeting until a quorum shall be present. Notice of any adjourned meeting need not be given. The directors shall act only as a board and the individual directors shall have no power as such.

 

Section 3.7       Indemnification.  Unless the Board of Directors shall determine otherwise, the Corporation shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, any person who was or is, or who is threatened to be made, a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Such indemnification may, in the discretion of the Board, include advances of a director’s, officer’s or employee’s expenses prior to final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding. The right of indemnification provided for in this Section 3.7 shall not exclude any rights to which such persons may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law.

 

Section 3.8       Written Consents.  Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if, prior to such action, a written consent thereto is signed by all members of the Board or of such committee, as the case may be, and such written consent is filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.
