Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As reported above, at the Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved amendments to the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plan”) to increase the number of shares authorized for grant by 40 million. The amendments also made certain other changes to the plan in light of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and its impact on Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The Amended Plan is described in more detail in the Proxy Statement.

The foregoing description and the summary contained in the Proxy Statement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

 

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

As reported above, at the Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended Certificate”) to allow one or more stockholders who own at least 15% of the Company’s common stock and who satisfy certain procedures to require that the Company call a special meeting of the stockholders. The Amended Certificate became effective upon its filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 13, 2018. Prior to the filing of the Amended Certificate, the stockholders did not have the ability to require that the Company call a special meeting of the stockholders.

In addition, in connection with stockholder approval of the Amended Certificate, the Board amended Article I of the Company’s bylaws (the “Bylaws”), effective June 13, 2018, to (1) specify the information required to be provided in connection with a stockholder’s request to call a special meeting, (2) define ownership for purposes of the “net long” ownership standard under the Amended Certificate, and (3) set forth additional procedures and conditions applicable to stockholders’ ability to request that the Company call a special meeting.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Certificate and Bylaws, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively.
