On July 31, 2012, the Board approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Bylaws (as amended and restated, the “Bylaws”). The amendment, which was effective immediately upon approval, implemented a change to Section 3 of Article III of the Bylaws.

The amended provision requires that the Company receive notice of any such nominations from shareholders at least 120 days before the anniversary of the date of the proxy statement for the prior year’s annual meeting.
