FedEx Corp. directors on March 8 adopted a bylaws change sought by shareowners to make it easier to promote candidates for the board. The change was in response to shareholder approval last September of a nonbinding resolution that the sponsoring International Brotherhood of Teamsters described as an accountability measure. The new provision says up to 20 stockholders who have continuously owned at least 3% of outstanding voting stock for three years can nominate up to two directors or 20% of the board, whichever is greater.
