        solicitation material for an annual meeting of the shareholders 
        of the issuer, or any other filing as the Commission determines 
        appropriate.
            ``(2) Content of disclosure.--A disclosure made under 
        paragraph (1) shall include, with respect to each person who is 
        a director, director nominee, or named executive officer of the

        percent or more of the total combined voting power of all 
        classes of securities entitled to vote in the election of 
        directors--
                    ``(A) the number of shares of all classes of 
                securities entitled to vote in the election of 
                directors beneficially owned by such person, expressed 
                as a percentage of the total number of the outstanding 
                securities of the issuer entitled to vote in the 
                election of directors; and
                    ``(B) the amount of voting power held by such 
                person, expressed as a percentage of the total combined 
                voting power of all classes of the securities of the

        structure that contains 2 or more types of securities that have 
        differing amounts of voting rights in the election of 
        directors.''.
