The amendments, which were effective upon adoption by the Board, implement proxy access and make certain other conforming and related changes. Section 2.9 of the By-Laws permits a shareholder, or a group of up to 20 shareholders, in aggregate owning 3% or more of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock continuously for at least three years to nominate and include in the Company’s proxy materials director nominees constituting up to 20% of the number of directors in office or two nominees, whichever is greater, provided that (i) the shareholder(s) and the nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified in the By-Laws and (ii) the Company receives notice of such nomination between 150 and 120 days prior to the anniversary of the date the Company’s definitive proxy statement was first sent to shareholders in connection with the preceding year’s annual meeting.
The foregoing description of the amendments to the By-Laws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the By-Laws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated by reference herein.
