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

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws, as adopted and effective on January 15, 2016, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated in this Item 5.03 by reference.
