What is the significance of the supplemental retirement agreement with Mark F. McGettrick?

The agreement clarifies the terms of Mr. McGettrick's retirement benefits, making them contingent on his continued employment as an officer until November 14, 2012. Crucially, it includes a two-year non-compete clause, which is designed to prevent him from working for competitors after retirement and retain his valuable knowledge within Dominion.

Were there any changes to Dominion's preferred stock structure?

Yes, the company removed obsolete Articles of Amendment related to Series A Preferred Stock. This stock was originally issued in 2001 and its outstanding shares were retired in 2004, making the original establishment articles no longer necessary.

What was the shareholder sentiment regarding the company's strategic initiatives like renewable energy and nuclear power?

The voting results indicate a lack of shareholder support for the specific proposals presented. A shareholder proposal to achieve 20% renewable electricity generation by 2022 and another urging the rejection of plans for a new nuclear reactor at North Anna were both voted down by substantial margins.
