Item 5.03Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On January 28, 2020, the Board of Directors of Exact Sciences Corporation (the “Company”) approved the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “Fourth Amended and Restated By-Laws), effective immediately. The Fourth Amended and Restated By-Laws amend and restate in their entirety the Company’s by-laws to, among other things:

 

·amend Article 1, Section 1 to explicitly allow for meetings of the stockholders to be held solely by means of remote communication in the manner authorized by the General Corporate Law of the State of Delaware, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”);

 

·amend Article 1, Sections 6 and 7 to clarify adjournment procedures for meetings of the stockholders of the Company, including the authority of the chairman of the meeting to adjourn stockholder meetings, the requirement that the Board give notice of an adjourned meeting to stockholders if such adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, and the authority of the Board to postpone, reschedule or cancel previously scheduled stockholder meetings;

 

·amend Article 1, Section 10 to describe certain information, statements and representations a stockholder proposing to nominate a person for election or reelection as a director must provide in its notice with respect to such director nominee and, in the case of any proposal of business to be considered at a stockholders meeting, with respect to such proposing stockholder;

 

·amend Article 1, Section 10 to make certain changes to the dates by which stockholder notices (or supplements thereto) of proposals to be brought before an annual meeting must be received by the Company to be considered timely;

 

·amend Article 1, Section 11 to eliminate the proviso requiring a different voting threshold for stockholder amendments to the Article 1, Section 11 than the general voting threshold for stockholder amendments to the Fourth Amended and Restated By-Laws set forth in Article 6, Section 2;

 

·include a new Article 2, Section 21, which requires director nominees, at the request of the Company, to provide completed and signed questionnaires and allows the Company to request additional information from such nominees in order to establish independence under applicable rules and standards;

 

·amend Article 7, Section 1, to add a provision that provides that, if any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of the forum selection provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws is filed in a court other than within the state of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum selection provision and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder; and

 

·make other technical amendments, including to conform to the Company’s certificate of incorporation and developments in Delaware law.

 

The foregoing summary is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Fourth Amended and Restated By-Laws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03.
