Item 3.03    Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On December 19, 2018, the Delaware Chancery Court issued an opinion in Sciabacucchi v. Salzberg, C.A. No. 2017-0931-JTL, invalidating Article VI, Section E of the certificate of incorporation of Stitch Fix, Inc. (the “Company”), purporting to limit to federal court the forum in which a stockholder could bring a claim under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Chancery Court held that a Delaware corporation can only use its constitutive documents to bind a plaintiff to a particular forum where the claim involves rights or relationships established by or under Delaware’s corporate law. The Company is currently assessing whether to appeal this case to the Delaware Supreme Court.

If the Company does not appeal the Sciabacucchi decision or if the Delaware Supreme Court affirms the Chancery Court’s decision, then the Company will seek approval by its stockholders to amend its certificate of incorporation at its next regularly scheduled annual meeting of stockholders to remove the invalid provision.

Item 5.07
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On December 19, 2018, the Company held its 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) at the offices of Cooley LLP, 101 California Street, 5th Floor, San Francisco, California 94111. At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on three proposals, each of which is described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 7, 2018 (the “Proxy Statement”). The following is a brief description of each matter voted upon and the number of votes cast for and against each matter and, if applicable, the number of abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to each matter.
 
Proposal 1. Stockholders elected each of the two nominees for Class I director to serve until the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until his or her respective successor has been duly elected and qualified. The voting results were as follows:

Proposal 2. Stockholders indicated, on an advisory basis, a preferred frequency of stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers of every one year. The voting results were as follows:

One Year

558,677,592
