BofA shareholders to vote on bylaw change making Moynihan chairman

Shareholders previously voted for separate people to hold chairman and CEO positions

BofA shareholders to vote on bylaw change making Moynihan chairman

Bank of America said Monday that it would give shareholders the chance to vote on the board’s decision in October to give the chairmanship to CEO Brian Moynihan.

When board members last fall made Moynihan the board chairman, they overturned a 2009 shareholder-passed rule requiring that the two jobs be held by separate people, and changed the bank's bylaws.
