Item 8.01

Other Events

 

At the annual meeting of stockholders of The First of Long Island Corporation (the “Company”) to be held in 2017, the Board of Directors will propose that stockholders amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate cumulative voting in the election of directors, and subject to stockholder approval of this amendment, the Board has determined to adopt a majority voting policy with respect to the election of directors. Under the majority voting policy, any nominee for director in an uncontested election who receives a greater number of votes “withheld” from his or her election than votes “for” such election shall tender his or her resignation for consideration by the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board. The Committee shall recommend to the Board the action to be taken with respect to the resignation. Any Director who tenders his or her resignation pursuant to this provision shall not participate in the Committee’s or the Board’s deliberations as to whether to accept the resignation. The Board will publicly disclose its decision within 90 days of the certification of the election results. In contested director elections, a plurality vote standard shall apply.
