Summary
Norfolk Southern Corporation (NSC) filed an 8-K report on January 25, 2005, primarily announcing a change in its corporate governance structure and a key executive appointment. The Board of Directors amended the company's bylaws to increase the size of the board from ten to eleven members. This expansion immediately created a vacancy that was filled by the election of Charles W. Moorman as a director. Mr. Moorman's election is noteworthy as he concurrently holds the position of President of Norfolk Southern Corporation. The filing explicitly states that there were no prior arrangements or understandings regarding his election and no reportable transactions between Mr. Moorman and the company that would require disclosure under standard SEC regulations (Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K). This action signifies a formal integration of the President's role with a board seat.
