(ii) update and clarify certain procedural and informational requirements for stockholders making nominations or proposing other business before an annual or special meeting of stockholders, to require, among other things, disclosures with respect to ownership of derivative securities and arrangements, agreements or understandings relating to the nomination or other business being proposed between or among such stockholder, beneficial owners on whose behalf the nomination is made or business is proposed, and their respective affiliates;
(iii) require stockholder nominees to make certain representations and warranties with respect to voting commitments and other agreements, arrangements or understandings in connection with their action or service as a nominee or director; and
