Section 5 - Corporate Governance and Management

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

On February 15, 2024, the Board approved amendments to the Company’s Bylaws and readopted them in full (as amended and restated, the “Bylaws”), effective immediately, to update certain procedural requirements related to director nominations and solicitations of proxies by stockholders, including requiring compliance with Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and to incorporate other changes as well as ministerial, clarifying and conforming edits.

Specifically, the Bylaws provide, among other things, that the stockholder must include in its advance notice of nomination: (i) a representation that the stockholder intends to solicit proxies from the holders of the Company’s outstanding capital stock representing at least sixty-seven percent of the voting power of capital stock entitled to vote on the election of directors and has otherwise complied or will comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act, and (ii) a representation that such stockholder will update in writing any required notice, if necessary, so that the information provided is true and correct as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting and as of the date that is ten business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Furthermore, the Bylaws require that a stockholder soliciting proxies from other stockholders use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for exclusive use by the Board.

Additional changes to the Bylaws include updating the committee responsibilities to align with the committee charters and current Board practice as well as removing the requirement for the Company to produce and keep for examination by any stockholder at the time and place of a meeting of stockholders a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, which conform to amendments to the Delaware General Corporation Law.

The above description of the amendments to the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Report.
