Item 8.01. Other Events.
The Board of Directors of Yelp Inc. (the “Company”) has established April 13, 2016 as the date of the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2016 Annual Meeting”). Because the date of the 2016 Annual Meeting will be more than 30 days prior to the anniversary of the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company is informing stockholders of the change in accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
The Company has not changed the deadline for the receipt of proposals to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2016 Annual Meeting. To be considered for inclusion in next year’s proxy materials, stockholders must submit their proposals, in writing, by December 12, 2015 to our Corporate Secretary at 140 New Montgomery Street, 9th Floor, San Francisco, California 94105, and must comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
Because the 2016 Annual Meeting will be more than 30 days prior to the anniversary of the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s Bylaws provide that stockholders who wish to bring a proposal or nominate a director at the 2016 Annual Meeting, but who are not requesting that the proposal or nomination be included in the Company’s proxy materials, must notify our Corporate Secretary, in writing, not earlier than the close of business on December 15, 2015 and not later than the close of business on January 14, 2016. Stockholders are advised to review the Bylaws, which contain additional requirements about advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations.
