Summary
CSX Corporation (CSX) filed an 8-K report on July 28, 2008, detailing significant changes to its Board of Directors. Three incumbent directors, Dr. Elizabeth E. Bailey, Mr. Robert D. Kunisch, and Mr. Southwood J. Morcott, resigned from the board. Concurrently, three new directors, Mr. Alexandre Behring, Mr. Gilbert H. Lamphere, and Mr. John D. McPherson, were elected to fill these vacancies. These board changes appear to be part of a broader strategic shift, as Messrs. Behring, Lamphere, and McPherson are identified as nominees from TCI/3G. Investors should monitor the integration of these new directors and their impact on the company's strategic direction and governance. The exact committee assignments for the new directors were still to be determined at the time of the filing.
