| Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On June 17, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Medifast, Inc. (the “Company”), adopted amendments to the Medifast, Inc. Amended and Restated 2012 Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan was amended to:
| · | provide that, if awards granted on or after June 17, 2014 are assumed upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), such awards will not automatically accelerate and will instead become immediately vested and fully exercisable upon the participant’s termination without Cause (as defined in the Plan) during the 24 months following the Change in Control; |
| · | amend the limits on grants of awards Options, SARs, Restricted Shares and Deferred Shares (each as defined in the Plan) that may be granted to a participant during a specified period to 75,000 Options or SARs and 150,000 Restricted Shares or Deferred Shares during a calendar year; |
| · | amend the definition of Change in Control so that a Change in Control is not considered to have occurred until the consummation of a merger, recapitalization or reorganization of the Company; and |
| · | provide that dividends paid on Restricted Shares that vest based on the achievement of performance criteria will be paid only at the time and to the extent that the restrictions and risk of forfeiture of the underlying Restricted Shares lapse. |
The foregoing summary of the amendments to the Plan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the complete text of the Plan filed as Exhibit 10.1 this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by this reference.
| Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On and effective June 17, 2014, the Board approved and adopted amended and restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”). The following changes are included in the Amended and Restated Bylaws:
| · | The advance notice period for the submission of director nominations and stockholder proposals to be made at an annual meeting of stockholders is reduced to a maximum of 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting. The Amended and Restated Bylaws expand the disclosure requirements for stockholders who propose business or make nominations and require additional disclosure regarding proposed director nominees. |
| · | The Board will determine the date and time of any special meeting of stockholders that is requested by the stockholders. Certain disclosure and procedural requirements are applicable to stockholders who seek to call a special meeting. These amendments include certain limitations on the type of business that may be presented at a special meeting. |
| · | The Board is authorized to set a record date for action that may be taken by written consent of the stockholders. The Board has 10 days after a stockholder makes a request for a record date to adopt a resolution to set such record date, after which the Board has an additional 10 days to set the record date. |
| · | Board vacancies, including vacancies resulting from the removal or resignation of a director, and newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors will be filled exclusively by the Board. Additionally, the size of the Board will be determined exclusively by the Board. |
| · | The directors and officers of the Company will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation upon the Company’s receipt of an undertaking that such director or officer will repay any advanced amount if it is determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification for such matter. |

| · | Unless the Company consents otherwise in writing, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or, if the Superior Court of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware) is the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or the Amended and Restated Bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. |
The Amended and Restated Bylaws also include a number of technical, procedural, conforming and clarifying changes.
The foregoing summary of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the complete text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
