The shareholders also ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as KeyCorp’s independent auditor for 2020, approved on an advisory basis KeyCorp’s executive compensation as described in KeyCorp’s 2020 proxy statement, and rejected a shareholder proposal seeking to reduce the ownership threshold to call a special shareholder meeting.
