style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">On November 27, 2019, the Board of Directors (the &#8220;</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;text-decoration:underline;">Board</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221;) of Evergy, Inc., a Missouri corporation (the &#8220;</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;text-decoration:underline;">Company</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221;), amended and restated the Company&#8217;s Amended and Restated By-laws (the &#8220;</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;text-decoration:underline;">By-laws</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221;). The By-law amendments that were approved, among other things, (i) provide for a majority voting standard in the election of directors in uncontested director elections with a carve-out to provide for a plurality voting standard in contested director elections, and (ii) provide for eligible shareholders to have proxy access rights allowing them, subject to various customary terms, conditions, and restrictions, to include director nominees in the Company&#8217;s proxy statement for annual meetings of shareholders. In connection with its adoption of a majority voting standard in uncontested director elections, the Board also approved an amendment to the By-laws to eliminate cumulative voting in director elections. In eliminating cumulative voting, the Board took into consideration, among other factors, the provisions of Missouri&#8217;s corporation law that do not permit majority voting in director elections when shareholders have the right to cumulate votes in such elections.  The Company believes that these By-law amendments strengthen the Company&#8217;s corporate governance practices, reflect the Company&#8217;s ongoing commitment to strong corporate governance practices, are responsive to feedback from the Company&#8217;s shareholders, and more closely align the Company&#8217;s governance with evolving best practice governance trends among peer and other companies of similar size, particularly among companies comprising the S&amp;P 500, which includes the Company.  The amendments to the By-laws include the following:</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">Adoption of Majority Voting for the Election of Directors in Uncontested Director Elections</span></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-bottom:16px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;padding-left:24px;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8226;</span></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The voting standard for the election of directors in uncontested director elections was changed from a plurality voting standard to a majority voting standard so that a nominee for director will only be elected to the Board if the  number of shares voted &#8220;for&#8221; a nominee&#8217;s election exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the number of votes cast with respect to that nominee&#8217;s election.

As a condition to being nominated to stand for election as director, a proposed nominee must deliver an irrevocable letter of resignation as a director, effective upon such person&#8217;s failure to receive the required vote for re-election at the next meeting of shareholders at which such person would face re-election. </span></div></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-bottom:16px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;padding-left:24px;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8226;</span></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">If a nominee for director is not elected and the nominee is an incumbent director, the Board&#8217;s Nominating, Governance, and Corporate Responsibility Committee (the &#8220;</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;text-decoration:underline;">Committee</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#8221;) will make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation, or whether other action should be taken.

In this regard, the Board noted that, based on available data from Factset Research Systems, Inc., a majority voting standard for the election of directors in uncontested elections, with a carve-out to provide for a plurality voting standard in contested director elections, is currently in place at approximately ninety-one percent (91%) of the companies comprising the S&amp;P 500.</span></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">Adoption of Proxy Access Rights for Eligible Shareholders</span></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-bottom:16px;font-family:Times New Roman;
