Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On June 8, 2022, the board of directors (the "Board") of NantHealth, Inc. (the "Company") approved an amendment and restatement of the Company's Bylaws (the "Amended and Restated Bylaws") effective June 8, 2022. The Amended and Restated Bylaws amend and restate the Company's bylaws in their entirety to, among other things: (i) establish director terms limits of ten (10) years for all directors with an exception for the chairperson of the Board; (ii) require the Board to consider certain underrepresented populations when seeking candidates for nomination to the Board, including a commitment to ensure that by the end of 2023 that at least one woman and at least one member of an underrepresented community are adequately represented on the Board; (iii) limit outside board of director service for independent directors; (iv) require mandatory attendance for directors at the Company's annual stockholder meetings; (v) require independent directors to meet certain enhanced director independence criteria in addition to the standards required by the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; (vi) the addition of an exclusive forum selection provision so that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (a) derivative actions, fiduciary duty claims and other general stockholder corporate claims must be brought exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and (b) claims asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, must be brought exclusively in federal district court instead of a state court, and that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision; and (vii) make other administrative, technical and conforming changes to track the language in the Delaware General Corporation Law.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description of the Amended and Restated Bylaws and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference in this Item 5.03.
