Item 5.01. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(b) In its proxy statement for its 2010 annual meeting of stockholders (the
"Annual Meeting"), Unisys Corporation (the "Company") proposed that its
stockholders approve an amendment to the Company's Bylaws to increase the
mandatory retirement age for directors from age 70 to age 72. The proxy
statement also stated that, if the amendment were approved by stockholders,
Theodore E. Martin, who is 70 years old, would stand for reelection at the
Annual Meeting and that, if the amendment were not approved by stockholders,
Mr. Martin would not be a nominee for election at the meeting and would retire
from the Board at the Annual Meeting. Approval of this Bylaw amendment
required the affirmative vote of not less than 80% of the outstanding shares of
the Company's common stock. Because the proposed amendment received the
affirmative vote of less than 80% of the outstanding shares, it was not
approved at the Annual Meeting held on April 29, 2010. Accordingly, Mr. Martin
retired from the Board at the Annual Meeting.
