Material Changes
The Board adopted amendments to the Company's Bylaws effective immediately on November 29, 2018. Key changes include:
- Written Consent Procedures: Section 2.11 was amended to remove the provision eliminating stockholder action by written consent. It now requires stockholders to request in writing that the Board fix a record date before acting by written consent. The Board retains the right to invalidate actions not complying with these procedures.
- Advance Notice Requirements: New Sections 2.13 and 2.14 were added to replace previous requirements regarding business proposals and director nominations. Stockholders must provide advance notice and specific information to submit proposals or nominate directors.
- Meeting Conduct: Business at annual meetings is restricted to matters complying with Section 2.13 (with exceptions for Rule 14a-8 proposals). Special meetings may only address matters specified in the Board's notice.
- Registered Agent: Article X was updated to reflect the current registered agent and office address in Delaware.
