That the number of directors of the corporation shall be nine (9) and that the names and residences of the directors who are to serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified as provided for in the By-Laws. xxx
That the number of directors of the corporation shall be seven (7) and that the names and residences of the directors who are to serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified as provided for in the By-Laws xxx

The reduction in the membership of the Corporation's Board will increase the ratio of independent directors to the regular directors.
