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

 

On March 18, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of TheStreet, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), which became effective upon its adoption by the Board on March 18, 2015. The amendment to the Bylaws (the “Amendment”) added a new Article X to select the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against the Company or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company arising pursuant to, or seeking to enforce any right, obligation or remedy under, any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (in each case, as may be amended from time to time), (iv) any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce, or determine the validity of any provision or provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (in each case, as may be amended from time to time) or (v) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against the Company or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

 

The Amendment is designed to save the Company and its stockholders from the increased expense of defending against duplicative litigation brought in multiple courts, and also to provide that claims involving Delaware law are decided by Delaware courts.

 

The Bylaws, as amended, are filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing summary of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws, as amended.
