In this role, Manning oversees planning for the Board of
Directors and its committees, ensures compliance with applicable
laws, including NYSE listing standards and SEC regulations, and
advises on corporate governance and regulatory developments
impacting the Company.
Manning joined the Office of the Secretary as Senior Managing
Counsel in 2016 and before that served as Senior Counsel supporting
the Company’s Mergers and Acquisitions and Finance functions.
Before joining the Company in 2008, Manning worked as a corporate
attorney at Paul Hastings, LLP and McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP
(now Dentons US LLP). She has a Juris Doctor from the University of

Quarterly Dividend
The Board today also declared a regular quarterly dividend of 35
cents per common share. The dividend is payable Dec. 15, 2016 to
shareowners of record as of Dec. 1, 2016. The Board earlier this
year approved the company’s 54th consecutive annual dividend
increase, raising the quarterly dividend 6 percent from 33 cents to
35 cents per common share. This is equivalent to an annual dividend
of $1.40 per share, up from $1.32 per share in 2015.
