The Company’s stockholders adopted the Amendment at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 3, 2012.
Article EIGHTH of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as so amended, is set forth in its entirety below:
“EIGHTH: Action shall be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation only at any annual or special meetings of stockholders or by written consent of the stockholders. Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called only as provided in the By-Laws.”
A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Form 8-K.
