Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
As part of the Company’s ongoing commitment to evaluating and improving its corporate governance practices, on March 23, 2016, the Board of Directors amended the Company’s By-Laws to implement plurality voting in contested director elections. Under the amendments approved by the Board (the “By-Law Amendments”), if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Uncontested director elections will continue to be decided by a majority vote. For purposes of determining the vote on any matter, including election of directors, the shares deemed entitled to vote on that matter shall not include broker non-votes.
In addition to the implementation of plurality voting for contested director elections, the By-Law Amendments also clarify the location of the stockholder list to be made available to stockholders prior to each meeting of stockholders and provide that notice of each meeting of stockholders shall be given in a manner permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
The foregoing description of the By-Law Amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated By-Laws that are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
