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

 

Effective March 15, 2013, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of MAKO Surgical Corp. (the “Company”) approved the Company’s Fifth Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), which amended and restated the existing bylaws of the Company in their entirety.  The Bylaws were amended and restated for the sole purpose of adding a majority voting policy to apply in uncontested director elections.

 

Pursuant to the Bylaws, any nominee for director in an uncontested election who receives a greater number of votes “withheld” from his or her election than votes “for” such election must promptly tender his or her resignation to the Chairman of the Board.  The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board (or, in certain circumstances, another committee appointed by the Board) must promptly consider that resignation and recommend to the Board whether to accept the tendered resignation or reject it based on all relevant factors.  The Board is then required to act on that recommendation no later than ninety days following the date of the stockholders’ meeting at which the election occurred.  Within four days of the Board’s decision, the Company must disclose the decision in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that includes a full explanation of the process by which the decision was reached and, if applicable, the reasons for rejecting the resignation.

 

The foregoing description of the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
