Large pension funds have lined up against Whole Foods Market Inc. in support of a shareholder proposal that would amend the company's proxy-access bylaw, a change the company opposes. The proposal would enable an unlimited number of eligible shareholders to aggregate their shares to reach the 3% ownership requirement to nominate up to 25% of the board or two directors, whichever is greater. The C$282.6 billion ($205.2 billion) Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, Toronto; $179.4 billion California State Teachers' Retirement System, West Sacramento; $172.5 billion Florida State Board of Administration, Tallahassee; C$154.5 billion Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, Toronto; and $125 billion Texas Teacher Retirement System, Austin, all plan to vote their Whole Food shares in favor of the proposal, according to their proxy-voting disclosures.
