Kennedy-Wilson amends merger voting to require 2/3 supermajority excluding certain large holders
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Amendment requires 2/3 vote of all voting stock (common + preferred on as-converted) to adopt merger, excluding shares owned by CEO McMorrow, Windisch, Lee, and Fairfax affiliates.
- Original majority-vote requirement remains, but supermajority condition reduces influence of excluded holders.
- Deal structure triggers Section 203 DGCL; amendment confirms no other anti-takeover laws apply.
- Change may increase difficulty of obtaining stockholder approval for the pending acquisition by Kona Bidco.
