Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of CDI Corp. (the “Company”) amended Section 3.03 of the Company's By‑Laws on March 17, 2017 to remove the right of the holder or holders of one-fifth of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock to call a special meeting of the shareholders. The Board expects to reevaluate appropriate terms regarding the shareholders’ right to call a special meeting at the conclusion of its review of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. The By-Laws were also amended in Section 9.05 to designate Pennsylvania as the exclusive forum for certain legal actions.
In addition to the changes described above, the amended Company By-Laws include certain clarifications and updates to accommodate the amendments described above. The foregoing summary description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the “By-Laws of CDI Corp.”, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.ii and incorporated herein by reference.
