Best Buy Co., Inc. (BBY: Quote) said Thursday that the company's shareholders re-elected Lisa Caputo, Kathy Higgins Victor and Gerard Vittecoq as directors in the 2012 annual meeting.

Also in the meeting, shareholders approved a non-binding shareholder proposal requesting the board to take action to declassify its structure and require every director to stand for reelection on an annual basis.

The nonbinding advisory "Say on Pay" proposal regarding the fiscal 2012 compensation of Best Buy's named executive officers, however, received a no from the shareholders.

The board also implemented a change to the company's bylaws that will conform them to Minnesota statutes by setting 25 percent as the minimum threshold of ownership required for a shareholder to call a special meeting related to a change of control.

A leading indicator of Australian economic activity continued to signal above-trend growth for the economy in the coming quarters, a report from Westpac and Melbourne Institute showed Wednesday. The annualized growth rate of the leading index, which indicates the likely pace of economic activity three to nine months into the future, was 5.4 percent in April, comfortably above its long term trend. Publishing and design software maker Adobe Systems Inc. said Tuesday after the markets closed that its second quarter profit fell 66% from last year, hurt by lower revenue as well as higher costs and expenses. However, the company's quarterly earnings per share, excluding items, came in above analysts' expectations and its quarterly revenue was in line with analysts' forecast. Stocks showed a strong upward move over the course of the trading day on Tuesday, adding to the gains posted in the previous session. The rally came even as traders expressed some uncertainty ahead of tomorrow's Federal Reserve announcement. The major averages gave back some ground going into the close but remained firmly in positive territory.
