Item 5.03. | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
|
On November 4, 2014, the Board of Directors of Realogy Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) approved an amendment to its Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) to expand the duties of its Presiding Director and to rename that position as “Lead Independent Director.” Under the amended Guidelines, the Lead Independent Director’s duties have been expanded to include his or her ability to call meetings of the independent or non-management directors as well as special meetings of the Board. Michael J. Williams, formerly the Presiding Director, continues as the Lead Independent Director.
As amended, the Guidelines set forth the following duties of the Lead Independent Director:
| |
• | leading the executive sessions of the independent and non-management directors; |
| |
• | serving as a liaison between the Chief Executive Officer and members of the Board including providing feedback from the independent and non-management directors to the Chief Executive Officer following each Board meeting; |
| |
• | coordinating with the independent and non-management directors between meetings and assisting in preparing Board meeting agendas and schedules; and |
| |
• | calling meetings of the independent or non-management directors as well as special meetings of the Board. |
On November 4, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a conforming amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, by amending the first sentence of Section 3.4 to provide that special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the Lead Independent Director or a majority of the Board of Directors then in office. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Third Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
