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

As part of its regular corporate governance review, on June 16, 2015, the Board of Directors of Westell Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), which became effective the same day.

The amendment adds a new Section 6 to Article VII of the Bylaws, which provides, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, 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 against the Company or any director, officer or other employee of the corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or the certificate of incorporation or the Bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director, officer or other employee of the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be a state court located within the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware).

The preceding summary of the amendment to the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in connection with, the complete copy of the Bylaws, as amended, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
