Section 5 Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On February 17, 2015, the Board of Directors of Allegiant Travel Company (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Company’s By-laws to change the voting standard for an uncontested election of Directors, and to make certain related changes:
- | The standard for uncontested elections of Directors was changed to a majority voting standard so that a nominee for Director will be elected to the Board of Directors if the votes cast for the nominee constitute at least a majority of the shares represented and voting at a duly held meeting. Directors will continue to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast if the election is a contested election as defined in the Company's By-Laws. |
- | Any existing Director nominated for reelection to the Board will be required to tender, prior to the mailing of the proxy statement for the meeting at which the election is to be held, an irrevocable resignation that will be effective upon (i) the failure to receive a majority of the votes cast in an election that is not a contested election, and (ii) acceptance of such resignation by the Board of Directors. |
- | If a nominee fails to receive the required number of votes for reelection, the Board of Directors (excluding the Director in question) shall, within 90 days after certification of the election results, decide whether to accept the Director's resignation after a process described in the By-Laws. |
This summary of the amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete copy of the amended By-Laws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
