ITEM 5.02 | DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS. |
ITEM 5.03 | AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCOPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR |
• | revising the Bylaws to clarify that separate record dates may be set for purposes of determining shareholders entitled to notice of a meeting of shareholders and shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders; |
• | eliminating a provision that addressed the shareholders’ list that must be prepared and made available for inspection for a meeting of shareholders, which is governed by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (“VSCA”); |
• | clarifying that a shareholder that nominates a person for election as a director of the Company must, in addition to meeting other requirements, be a record shareholder of the Company both at the time of the giving of the shareholder’s notice of such nomination and on the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the applicable meeting of shareholders, which mirrors the requirements applicable to a shareholder that proposes to bring business before an annual meeting of shareholders; and |
• | removing a requirement that any change to the Bylaws be adopted at a meeting of the Board of Directors, thus allowing changes to the Bylaws also to be adopted without a meeting, by an action of the Board taken by written consent, as permitted under the VSCA. |
Exhibit 3.2 | Amendment to Bylaws of the Company, effective December 31, 2014 (marked to show changes to Bylaws). |
