Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Effective April 14, 2016, the board of directors (the “Board”) of ENGlobal Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), adopted the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of ENGlobal Corporation (the “Restated Bylaws”), which amend and restate, in their entirety, the Company’s previous Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended to date. The material amendments included in the Restated Bylaws are summarized as follows:
Advance Notice Requirements: The Restated Bylaws add advance notice requirements for shareholders to propose director nominations or other business to be brought before an annual or special meeting of the Company’s shareholders. These requirements include, among other things:
i. | The proponent shareholder must provide advance notice to make a director nomination or to bring other business before an annual or special meeting and such notice must be received by the secretary of the Company not later than the 90th day, nor earlier than the 120th day, in advance of the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting, provided that the annual meeting will be held not more than 30 days in advance of the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting or not later than 70 days after the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting (in which case different deadlines will apply); and |
ii. | The proponent shareholder’s advance notice must set forth specified information, including the proponent shareholder’s name and address, the class and number of shares of stock owned by the proponent shareholder, a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the proponent shareholder’s proposed nomination, a description of any hedging or other transaction or series of transactions the proponent shareholder may have in place to mitigate potential stock losses, and certain information with respect to any director nominee. |
No Action by Shareholder Written Consent: The Restated Bylaws require that all action or election by the Company’s shareholders be taken or held, as applicable, at a proper meeting of the shareholder, and that no such action may be taken by written consent of the Company’s shareholders.
Number of Directors: The Restated Bylaws provide that the number of directors on the Board may be fixed from time to time by the Board, subject to the terms of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.
Indemnification of Officers and Directors: The Restated Bylaws provide procedures for obtaining indemnification and advancement of expenses, address the enforcement of such rights and otherwise clarify the scope and nature of indemnification rights granted by the Company.
The foregoing description of the Restated Bylaws is not complete and is qualified by reference to the complete document, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
