On August 16, 2016, VistaGen Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) filed the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 (the “Restated Articles”). The sole purpose for filing the Restated Articles is to restate the Company’s current articles of incorporation in a single document. The Restated Articles do not amend or alter the Company’s current articles of incorporation in any way.
In addition to the Restated Articles, the Company amended and restated its current bylaws, effective August 16, 2016, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”). The only modification contained in the Amended and Restated Bylaws provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the state courts (and, in some cases, the federal courts) located within the State of Nevada shall be the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of litigation including (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company's stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director or officer or other employee of the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the Restated Articles or the Amended and Restated Bylaws, or (d) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director or officer or other employee of the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine.
The foregoing descriptions of the Restated Articles and the Amended and Restated Bylaws do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text thereof, filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are each incorporated by reference herein.
