Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On February 1, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a further amendment and restatement of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to provide (i) for a majority voting standard in uncontested director elections and (ii) that stockholder director nominations must include a written statement that the nominee intends to tender his or her irrevocable resignation, subject to acceptance by the Board, upon his or her election or re-election, which resignation shall become effective upon the nominee’s failure to receive the requisite number of votes under the majority voting standard.
On the same date, the Board also approved related amendments to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines to provide that the Board will only nominate a candidate for election or re-election as a director who, in advance of such nomination, has submitted his or her irrevocable resignation, subject to acceptance by the Board, that would become effective upon the nominee’s failure to receive the requisite number of votes under the majority voting standard.
Prior to the implementation of majority voting for uncontested director elections in the Company's Bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Company provided for plurality voting for uncontested director elections.
