Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year |
On April 29, 2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company (the “Company”) amended its bylaws by approving and adopting the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Amended Bylaws”). The Amended Bylaws change the Company’s vote requirement in uncontested elections of directors from a plurality vote standard to a majority vote standard. Using the plurality vote standard, there is no minimum number of votes required for a director to be elected to the Board; whereas, using the majority vote standard, the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast is required to elect a director. The Company believes that the majority vote standard better aligns its interests with those of its stockholders.
The foregoing summary description of certain provisions of the Amended Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amended Bylaws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Item 5.03 and in Exhibit 3.1 will not be treated as "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. This information will not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or into another filing under the Exchange Act, unless that filing expressly incorporates this information by reference.
