Item 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition
 
On January 4, 2017, Mistras Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) issued a press release announcing the financial results for our historical second fiscal quarter and historical first six fiscal months, which ended November 30, 2016.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
In the press release attached, the Company uses the terms “Adjusted EBITDA” and “free cash flow” which are not measures of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  Information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures and their use by the Company is set forth in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed August 15, 2016.

The press release also uses the non-GAAP financial measure ”net debt” and the tables attached to the press release include the non-GAAP financial measure "Segment and Total Company Income (Loss) before Special Items”, reconciling this measure to a financial measure under GAAP.  Information about these non-GAAP measures are included in the press release.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
 
On January 3, 2017, our Board of Directors approved a change in our fiscal year from May 31 to a calendar year ending December 31. An announcement of this change in our fiscal year is included in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1. As a result of this change, the Company will file a Transition Report on Form 10-K for the transition period ending December 31, 2016. Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished and is not “filed” nor is it incorporated into this Item 5.03.

In conjunction with the change in the Company’s fiscal year end, the Company has scheduled its 2017 annual meeting of shareholders for May 16, 2017. The Company’s bylaws require that if the date of the Company’s annual meeting has been changed to be more than 30 days before the anniversary date of the previous year’s annual meeting, then in order for a shareholder notice pursuant to section 2.14 of our bylaws to be considered timely, it must be received by the secretary no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of the annual meeting and no later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the annual meeting date was made. As a result, proposals for our 2017 annual meeting of shareholders that are being submitted pursuant to section 2.14 of our bylaws must be received no earlier than the close of business on January 17, 2017 and no later than the close of business on February 16, 2017, and must otherwise comply with the requirements of our bylaws.
