Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On
Additionally, the Board approved an amendment and restatement of the Company's bylaws (the "Bylaws"), which became effective concurrently with the effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Bylaws were amended and restated to:
•Implement a majority vote standard for the election of directors in uncontested director elections, with a plurality vote standard applying to contested director elections; •Adopt a resignation policy consistent with the majority vote standard, so that an incumbent director who does not receive the requisite affirmative majority of the votes cast for his or her re-election will be required to promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board, subject to acceptance by the Board; •Declassify the board of directors to give effect to the Charter Amendments; •Eliminate the supermajority stockholder vote required for stockholders to amend the bylaws to give effect to the Charter Amendments; •Create a new stockholder right to call a special meeting to give effect to the Charter Amendments; and •Make certain technical, conforming and administrative changes.
The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the complete text of Amended and Restated Bylaws, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.2, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. In addition, a marked copy of the Amended and Restated Bylaws showing all changes made to the Company's prior bylaws is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.3.
