Proxy Contest Proxy Contest
In the second quarter of 2018, the Company received notification from Carl C. Icahn and certain affiliated entities (together, "Icahn"), that they intended to nominate a full slate of candidates for election to the Board at the 2018 annual meeting that was held on June 19, 2018. The Company and Icahn, together with certain of their Board nominees, each entered into a settlement agreement which expanded the size of the Board to eight directors. Previous directors Sylvia K. Barnes, David J. Kornder and William M. Griffin, Jr. were re-elected, and Bob G. Alexander, Jonathan Christodoro, Jonathan Frates, John J. "Jack" Lipinski and Randolph C. Read were newly elected following the certification of the voting results, which occurred on June 22, 2018. As confirmed by general counsel, the election of a majority of non-incumbent directors nominated in connection with the proxy contest would result in the accelerated vesting of certain share and incentive-based compensation awards granted to the Company's employees and directors as discussed further in Note 15.

The Company incurred legal, consulting and advisory fees related to dealing with shareholders and the proxy contest of $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.
