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

On December 17, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Qlik Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), adopted the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Restated Bylaws”), revising Sections 2.7 and 2.8 thereof, to implement a majority voting standard in uncontested elections of directors (the “Majority Voting Standard”). The Majority Voting Standard provides that a director shall be elected to the Board if the number of shares voted “for” a director’s election exceeds 50% of the number of votes cast with respect to that director’s election. However, in the event of a contested election of directors, directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast.

The foregoing summary of the amendments to the Restated Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.5 and incorporated in this Item 5.03 by reference.

As part of the implementation of majority voting for the election of directors in uncontested elections, the Company amended its Corporate Governance Guidelines to provide, among other things, that with respect to director nominations, the Board will only nominate those directors who have tendered in advance of such nomination an irrevocable, conditional resignation that will be effective only upon the failure of such director nominee to receive the required vote for re-election and the Board’s acceptance of such resignation.

An updated version of the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines is posted on the Company’s website at http://investor.qlik.com/governance.cfm. No information contained on the Company’s website is intended to be included as part of, or incorporated by reference into, this Current Report on Form 8-K.
