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

 

To preemptively comply with the State of Delaware legislation that has been passed to amend the Delaware General Corporation Law to prohibit Delaware stock corporations from adopting bylaws with fee-shifting provisions, the Company amended on July 10, 2015 to remove the fee-shifting provisions by deleting Sections 6.07 and 6.08 of the Company bylaws (the “Amendment”). The Amendment removing the fee-shifting provisions is effective as of June 15, 2015, the same date as the date of the adoption of the fee-shifting provisions in the Company’s bylaws. As the fee-shifting provisions were removed as of the same date they were adopted, there will be no effect of the fee-shifting provisions with respect to the Company or its shareholders.

 

The foregoing is only a brief description of the terms of the Amendment, does not purport to be a complete description of the Amendment, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
