Item 5.03. |
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
Effective August 18, 2015 the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s bylaws to update, clarify and simplify various provisions. Included in the amended bylaws is a revised notice provision for a stockholder to nominate a director or bring new business before an annual meeting. Under this provision, for a nomination or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, notice must include certain information and be provided to the Company not less than 90 days prior to the date of the Company’s proxy material for the prior year’s annual meeting. Accordingly, the deadline for the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders is December 17, 2015. Previously, there had been a 14 day notice requirement for nominations by stockholders. Additionally, the amended bylaws impose an age limit of 75 years for appointment or election to the board, which will not apply to persons serving on the board as of the April 21, 2015 annual meeting of stockholders. Previously, the age limit applied only to persons first elected to the board. A copy of the bylaws as amended are attached to this Current Report as an exhibit.
