·
Enhance the existing procedural mechanics for stockholder nominations of directors and submissions of stockholder proposals (other than proposals to be included in the Company's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) at stockholder meetings, including, without limitation, as follows:
o
Requiring that the nominating or proposing stockholder be a stockholder of record at the time of submitting a notice through the date of the applicable meeting;
o
Requiring additional disclosures from nominating or proposing stockholders, proposed nominees and other persons associated with nominating or proposing stockholders;
o
Requiring that proposed nominees make certain representations as to matters such as compliance with guidelines and policies and intention to serve the full term if elected; and
o
Requiring that proposed nominees submit to interviews by the Board (or any Board committee or other subset of the Board) within 10 days following the date of any reasonable request therefor from the Board and agree to tender their resignations if the Board determines that they failed to comply with certain requirements;
·
Modify the provisions relating to stockholder meeting adjournment procedures and lists of stockholders entitled to vote at stockholder meetings, including to reflect amendments to the Delaware General Corporation Law;
·
Provide that special meetings of the Board may be called with less than 24 hours' notice upon the written request of a majority of the Board;
·
Modify the procedures and mechanics related to the use of proxies; and
·
Expressly set forth the authority and responsibilities of the President and Chief Financial Officer.
The foregoing description of the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and are incorporated herein by reference.
As previously announced by the Company, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board recommended to the full Board that the Board consider including in the Company's proxy statement for the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2024 Annual Meeting") a proposal to amend the Company's Certificate of Incorporation granting stockholders the right to call a special meeting, for approval at the 2024 Annual Meeting. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is currently evaluating the appropriate parameters for such right, with the intent to make a final recommendation to the Board prior to the release of the proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting.
