On December 12, 2016, the Registrant’s Board of Directors approved amendments to the By-Laws of the Registrant primarily to implement proxy access. Article II, Section 9(c) has been added to the By-Laws to permit a stockholder, or a group of up to 20 stockholders, owning at least 3% of the Registrant’s outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years to nominate and include in the Registrant’s proxy materials director nominees constituting up to the greater of two individuals or 20% of the Board of Directors, provided that the stockholders and the nominees satisfy the requirements specified in the By-Laws.
The By-Laws were also amended to make certain refinements and conforming changes to the advance notice provisions for stockholder nominations, contained in Article II, Section 9(a)-(b), and the requirements for stockholder business at an annual meeting, contained in Article II, Section 10. Other technical and administrative changes were also approved by the Board of Directors.
The foregoing description of the Registrant’s By-Laws is qualified in all respects by reference to the text of the By-Laws, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and incorporated herein by reference.
