ITEM 5.03 AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.
On February 18, 2016, the Board of Directors of Hub Group, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment and restatement of the Company’s Bylaws (as amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”) to adopt Delaware as the exclusive forum for adjudication of certain claims and disputes as set forth in Section 6 of Article VII, entitled “Forum for Adjudication for Certain Disputes.” The Amended and Restated Bylaws also amended Section 5 of Article II, entitled “Quorum; Adjournment,” to provide that one third of shares entitled to vote at a meeting, rather than shares having a majority of the votes which could be cast, constitute a quorum and that, if a quorum is not present, a majority of votes cast, rather than a majority of votes present, may adjourn the meeting. Finally, the Amended and Restated Bylaws amended Section 6 of Article II, entitled “Voting,” to provide that holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share, that holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to such number of votes as is set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and that, when a quorum is present, directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast, and, unless otherwise required by Delaware law or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, other actions are authorized by a majority of votes cast, rather than by holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present at the meeting. The Amended and Restated Bylaws were effective upon the approval by the Company’s Board of Directors.
The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the complete text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 5.05 AMENDMENTS TO THE REGISTRANT’S CODE OF ETHICS.
On February 18, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company amended the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”). The Code supersedes the previous version of the Code adopted by the Board in 2003. The Code applies to all directors, officers and employees of the Company.
The Code includes revisions to (i) improve its clarity and readability, (ii) enhance Company personnel’s understanding of the Company’s standards of ethical business practices and (iii) promote awareness of ethical issues that may be encountered in carrying out an employee’s or director’s responsibilities. Specific changes include references to the new Hub Group Ethics Hotline which was implemented in January 2016 for all employees, customers and vendors of the Company, references to the Company’s policies of nondiscrimination and anti-harassment, and new sections regarding occupational health and safety, environmental policy, political contributions and compliance with antitrust laws.
The foregoing description of the Code is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the complete text of the Code filed as Exhibit 14 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The Code will be posted on the corporate governance page of the Company’s web site at www.hubgroup.com. The changes to the Code did not result in any explicit or implicit waiver of any provision of the Code in effect prior to the changes.
