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

 

On November 5, 2014 the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Report”), reporting that on November 3, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company had amended and restated the Bylaws of the Company to add Article 62, stipulating the forum for certain types of litigation, and Article 63, concerning litigation costs (the “Amendments”).

 

On March 27, 2015, certain stockholders of the Company filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware challenging the authority of the Company’s Board of Directors to adopt the Amendments.

 

On March 30, 2015, in response to the concerns raised by the stockholders in the Complaint, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to rescind its prior action of November 3, 2014 and remove the Amendments from the Bylaws of the Company.  Therefore, the Company is filing this amendment to the Original Report to file the Bylaws of the Company, as amended and restated by the Board of Directors on March 30, 2015.  These Bylaws, as amended and restated, remove the Amendments and are therefore identical to the bylaws of the Company in effect upon its formation on April 17, 2014 and prior to the adoption of the Amendments in November 2014.

 

The foregoing summaries of the Bylaws, as amended and restated on March 30, 2015, and the Complaint do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws, as amended and restated on March 30, 2015 and the Complaint (without exhibits), each of which is filed as an exhibit to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
