Item 5.03. | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On January 31, 2017, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the amendment and restatement of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Former Bylaws”) as its Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “New Bylaws”).
The New Bylaws update the Former Bylaws by eliminating or amending several provisions previously required pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 20, 2014, between MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. and Central Bancshares, Inc. (the “Merger Agreement”), which are no longer necessary. These provisions include certain specifications with respect to the membership of the Board and the individuals serving in certain of the Company's leadership positions.
The second paragraph of Section 3.2 was amended to reflect that John Morrison may be nominated for election at the 2017 annual meeting of shareholders for a term to expire at the 2020 annual meeting of shareholders. Conforming changes were made in the second paragraph of Section 3.2 and the first paragraph of Section 3.14 to reflect that Mr. Morrison may serve through 2020. Section 4.2 was revised to delete the table designating that certain individuals serve in specified officer positions for certain terms, as this provision was initially intended to protect certain officer positions for a period of time after the consummation of the merger with Central Bancshares, Inc., and that period of time has ended.
The New Bylaws became effective immediately upon their adoption by the Board on January 31, 2017.
The foregoing description of the New Bylaws is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the New Bylaws, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8‑K.
