(the "Company" or "Loral") on May 19, 2009 (the "Annual Meeting"), stockholders approved the proposal to ratify the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Restated Certificate of Incorporation"), which had previously been accepted for filing on December 23, 2008 by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to an order of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and which eliminated previously-designated series of Preferred Stock and authorized a new series of Non-Voting Common Stock. At the Annual Meeting, stockholders also approved the proposal to further amend the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Voting Common Stock to 50,000,000 shares and the number of authorized shares of Non-Voting Common Stock to 20,000,000 shares and to eliminate the prohibition on the issuance of nonvoting equity securities.
