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

On January 19, 2017, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Analogic Corporation (the “Company”) approved and adopted an amendment, effective immediately (the “Amendment”), to the Company’s Bylaws, as previously amended through January 29, 2010 (the “Bylaws”). The Amendment amends Article II, Section 15 of the Bylaws relating to the timing of notices from Company stockholders who wish to nominate persons for election to the Board at an annual meeting. In particular, the amendment provides that if the date of the applicable annual meeting has been advanced by more than thirty days or delayed by more than sixty days from the anniversary date of the Company’s immediately preceding annual meeting, notice of a nomination must be delivered to the Company by the later of the ninetieth day prior to the applicable annual meeting or the tenth day following the announcement date. The Amendment also makes certain other procedural clarifications, including that an adjournment, recess or postponement of the annual meeting will not commence a new notice period or extend the existing notice period.

A copy of the Amendment is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of the changes to the Bylaws effected by the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

Proposal 3 – Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation. Our stockholders approved, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers.

Item 8.01. Other Events

On January 19, 2017, the Board determined that the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held on December 1, 2017 (the “2018 Annual Meeting”).

A stockholder of the Company who wishes to have a proposal considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2018 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must ensure that such proposal is received by the Company no later than July 28, 2017, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and send its proxy materials. To be considered timely, any such proposal must be received by the Company at 8 Centennial Drive, Peabody, MA 01960 (the “Executive Offices”), directed to the attention of the Company’s Secretary, and contain the information required under Rule 14a-8.

In addition, pursuant to the amended Bylaws, a stockholder of the Company who wishes to nominate a director for election at the 2018 Annual Meeting must provide the Company with notice of such nomination no later than September 2, 2017. To be considered timely, any such notice must be received by the Company at the Executive Offices, directed to the attention of the Company’s Secretary, and contain the information required by the amended Bylaws.
