Zions Bancorporation (the “Company”) held its Annual Meeting of the Stockholders on May 28, 2010. At the meeting, stockholders elected three directors for the term of one year. In addition, stockholders approved the amendment to the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized preferred shares with a corresponding increase in its number of authorized shares; ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent auditor; approved, on a non binding advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s executive officers named in the proxy statement with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009; voted against a proposal that the Board adopt a policy to separate the positions of Chairman of the Board and CEO; and voted against a shareholder proposal that the Board adopt a “Say on Pay” policy. A shareholder proposal that the Board adopt a policy prohibiting employment discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity or expression was withdrawn and was not presented for a vote.
