Item 5.03. | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On March 13, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Bylaws. The amendment changes the voting standard for uncontested director elections from a plurality plus voting standard to a majority vote standard. Accordingly, pursuant to the amendment, in future uncontested director elections, a director nominee will be elected only if the votes cast for such nominee’s election exceed the votes cast against such nominee’s election. The amendment retains a plurality voting standard in contested elections, which includes an election for which, as of the record date of any meeting of shareholders, there are more nominees for election than positions on the Board of Directors to be filled by that election. The amendment to the Company’s Bylaws were effective on March 13, 2016, the date they were approved by the Board of Directors. The foregoing description of the amendment of the Company’s Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Company’s Bylaws, as amended, attached as Exhibit 3(ii) and incorporated herein by reference.
