Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 12, 2017, David J. Gilbert resigned from the board of directors (the “Board”) of Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) due to restrictions in his current employment regarding service on the board of directors of public companies. His resignation was effective May 12, 2017. In tendering his resignation, Mr. Gilbert expressed no disagreement with the Company. As a consequence of Mr. Gilbert’s departure, the Board decreased the size of the Board from nine to eight directors, effective May 12, 2017.

 

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

On May 11, 2017, the Board amended Article XV of the bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”) to allow the stockholders of the Company to alter or repeal any provision of the Bylaws and adopt new Bylaws by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter and restated the Bylaws as so amended. Previously, the Board had the exclusive power to adopt, alter or repeal any provision of the Bylaws and adopt new Bylaws. Under the amendment, the Board continues to have the power to do so, coextensive with the right of the stockholders of the Company described above.

The foregoing description of the Bylaws, as so amended and restated, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
