| Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On February 21, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company approved Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Amended Bylaws”), effective immediately, with such amendments including updates to the advance notice provisions to address the adoption by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of “universal proxy” rules and other updates to conform with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) regarding notice of adjourned stockholder meetings and stockholder list requirements.
With respect to stockholder nominees to the Company’s Board, the Amended Bylaws provide, among other things, (i) that stockholders must comply with the SEC’s newly adopted Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (ii) that stockholders must include in an advance notice of a director nomination, among other things, a representation as to such stockholder’s intention to solicit proxies in support of any director nominee other than the Company’s nominees in accordance with Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, (iii) that, if any stockholder provides notice of intent to solicit proxies pursuant to Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, such stockholder must provide (a) prompt notice to the Company if such stockholder fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) and Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act and (b) upon request by the Company, no later than five business days prior to the applicable meeting, evidence that such stockholder has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act, (iv) that the Company may disregard any proxies or votes solicited for a stockholder’s nominee(s) if such stockholder does not comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) and Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act or does not timely provide reasonable evidence sufficient to satisfy the Company that it has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act, (v) for the avoidance of doubt, that the Company is not required to include in its proxy materials any additional or substitute nominations after the expiration of the time periods set forth in the Amended Bylaws and (vi) make certain administrative and clarifying changes. The Amended Bylaws also provide that the white color proxy card is reserved for exclusive use by the Company.
Additional changes to the Amended Bylaws to conform with the DGCL include (i) allowing for notice of adjournment of stockholder meetings to be provided as permitted under applicable law and (ii) eliminating the requirement for the Company to make its stockholder list available during stockholder meetings.
The foregoing summary of the Amended Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Bylaws, which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
