Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On November 29, 2016, the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company approved and adopted the Fourth Amendment to the Company’s Bylaws, effective as of November 29, 2016 (the “Bylaw Amendment”). The Bylaw Amendment amended Article II, Section 9(a) and Article III, Section 13(a) to establish that while a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders, duly called and at which a quorum is present, shall be the requisite vote required to take action at such meeting, a plurality of all votes cast at such meeting (rather than a majority) is sufficient to elect a director, subject to certain limitations.

 

The foregoing description of the Bylaw Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaw Amendment. A copy of the Bylaw Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
