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

On February 10, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of LTC Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) amended Section 1.07 of Article I of the Company’s Bylaws, as amended and restated August 3, 2009 (the “Bylaws”), to provide for a majority vote standard for uncontested elections of directors.  As a result, at each meeting of stockholders at which the election of directors is uncontested, a director nominee will be elected to the Board only if the number of votes cast “FOR” the nominee exceeds the number of votes cast “AGAINST” the nominee.  A plurality vote standard will continue to apply in contested elections.  An election will be considered to be contested if the Company’s secretary has received notice that a stockholder has nominated or proposes to nominate one or more persons for election as a director and, at least 14 days prior to the date on which notice of the meeting is first mailed or otherwise given to stockholders, the nomination has not been withdrawn and would thereby cause the number of director nominees to exceed the number of directors to be elected at the meeting.

Amended Section 1.07 of Article I of the Bylaws also provides that if an incumbent director is not re-elected due to his or her failure to receive a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election, the director will promptly tender his or her resignation as a director, subject to acceptance by the Board.  The nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board will then make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation or whether other action should be taken.  The Board will publicly disclose within 90 days of certification of the stockholder vote its decision and rationale regarding whether it accepted or rejected the resignation or describe what other action it took in response to the tendered resignation.

The foregoing summary of the amendment to the Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of amended Section 1.07 of Article I of the Bylaws, as included in the First Amendment to Bylaws which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
