The Third Amended and Restated Bylaws also update the advance notice requirements that apply to shareholder proposals and nominations outside the proxy access process and make certain related clarifying and conforming changes.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Third Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 3.1 (unmarked version) and 3.2 (marked version), and are incorporated herein by reference.
