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

 

On July 25, 2017, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Limoneira Company (the “Company”) adopted an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to eliminate the bylaw provision requiring a supermajority voting standard for stockholders to remove members of the Board.

 

Prior to the Amendment, the Bylaws provided that a director could be removed from office at any time but only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the total voting power of all outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company. An identical supermajority removal provision remains in the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

 

The text of the Amendment is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.
