DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

The following summary of the terms of the Company’s common stock is based upon its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") and Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”).  This summary is not complete, and is qualified by reference to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, each of which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.2 is a part.

A majority of the votes cast is required for all actions to be taken by shareholders, except with respect to director elections, which requires a plurality of the votes cast.   Except as otherwise required by the Oklahoma General Corporation Act, or voting rights granted to any subsequently issued preferred stock, the common stock is the only class of capital stock entitled to vote on any matter to be voted on by the Company’s shareholders.

The Company’s common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market System under the symbol “BSVN.”

Classification of the Board

 

Our board of directors is classified into three (3) classes of approximately equal size designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, with the term of office of one class expiring each year.  Each director shall serve for a term ending on the third annual meeting of shareholders following the annual meeting of shareholders at which such director was elected, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions

Certain provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and its Bylaws summarized in the paragraphs above and in the following paragraphs may have an anti-takeover effect. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that shareholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in the best interests of the Company, including transactions that might result in a premium over the market price for shares of the Company's common stock.

Special Shareholder Meetings

Unless otherwise permitted by applicable law, the Company's Bylaws provides that special meetings of shareholders may be called only by (i) the Board, (ii) the Chairman of the Board, (iii) the President or (iv) the Baord upon the written request of shareholders holding at least 30% of all the votes entitled to be cast on each issue to be considered at the special meeting as of the date of submission of the request.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Shareholder Nominations and Proposals

Under the Company's Bylaws, to be properly brought before an annual meeting of shareholders, any shareholder proposal or nomination for election to the Board must be delivered to the Company’s Secretary not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days before or 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the shareholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of such annual meeting, or the announcement thereof, or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than one hundred (100) days prior to the date of such annual meeting, a shareholder’s written notice must be delivered not later than the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Company.
