ITEM 5.03 AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR
At the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. (the “Corporation”), held on Thursday, January 26, 2012, the stockholders of the Corporation approved, among other things, a proposal to amend the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to provide that, with certain exceptions, the sole and exclusive forum for certain actions shall be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) had previously approved this amendment and recommended that it be submitted to the Corporation’s stockholders for approval. The amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation became effective on January 27, 2012, upon effectiveness of the filing of a Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware.
The foregoing description of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
