Item 8.01. Other Events.
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Atkore International Group Inc. (the “Company”) has established January 31, 2018 as the date of the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2018 Annual Meeting”). The record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the 2018 Annual Meeting shall be the close of business on December 5, 2017. Because the date of the 2018 Annual Meeting differs by more than thirty (30) days from the anniversary date of the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2017 Annual Meeting”), which was held on Tuesday, March 7, 2017, the Company is providing this information in accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, the Company has set the close of business of October 10, 2017 as the new deadline for the receipt of any stockholder proposals or nominations for director to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2018 Annual Meeting. Stockholders wishing to bring a proposal or nominate a director at the annual meeting to be held in 2018 (but not include it in our proxy materials) must provide written notice of such proposal to our Secretary at our principal executive offices between October 3, 2017 and November 2, 2017 and comply with the other provisions of our second amended and restated by-laws.
