ARTICLE I
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
SECTION 6. | Nominations and Business at Meetings: |
At any annual meeting of shareholders, only persons who are nominated or business which is proposed in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 6 shall be eligible for election as Directors or considered for action by shareholders. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Company may be made or business proposed at a meeting of shareholders (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by any shareholder of the Company entitled to vote at the meeting who complies with the notice and other procedures set forth in this Section 6. Such nominations or business proposals, other than those made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the Company and such business proposals must, under applicable law, be a proper matter for shareholder action. To be timely, a shareholders notice shall be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than 120 days nor more than 150 days in advance of the date which is the anniversary of the date the Companys proxy statement was released to security holders in connection with the previous years annual meeting; provided, however, that with respect to the Companys annual meeting to be held during calendar year 2016, to be timely (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6), a shareholders notice of nominations must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than 5:00 p.m. EST on January 29, 2016; provided further, that, if the Company did not hold such previous years annual meeting or if the anniversary date of the current years annual meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the previous years annual meeting, then such share-holders notice shall be so delivered or mailed and received within a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and mail its proxy statement.
Such shareholders notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom such shareholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a Director, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including such persons written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Director if elected); (b) as to any other business that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and any material interest in such business of such person on whose behalf such proposal is made; and (c) as to the shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, (i) the name and address of such shareholder, as they appear on the Companys books and (ii) the class and number of shares of the Company which are
beneficially owned by such shareholder. No person shall be eligible for election as a Director of the Company and no business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of shareholders unless nominated or proposed in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 6. The Chairman of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination or proposal was not made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6 and, if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination or proposal shall be disregarded.
