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

 

In a letter dated December 7, 2022, Karen Dunleavy, our Senior Vice President-Financial, who serves as our principal accounting officer, stated that she anticipates retiring from her position with us effective as of June 14, 2023.

 

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

 

On December 7, 2022, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved and adopted certain amendments (the “Amendments”) to our Bylaws (the “Bylaws” and, as amended and restated, the “Amended Bylaws”), which became effective immediately.

 

The Amendments update various provisions of the Bylaws to require parties proposing a nominee for election of a director to comply with the universal proxy rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Amendments update the Bylaws’ proxy and advance notice provisions; specifically, to require, among other things, (i) certain representations with respect to the solicitation intentions of a proposing stockholder; and (ii) additional representations regarding the willingness of a Proposed Nominee (as defined in the Amended Bylaws) to serve on the Board, if elected, and that no additional consents from any third party are required for a Proposed Nominee to serve on our Board, if elected. The Amendments also clarify that a stockholder may not nominate more individuals than there are directors to be elected or substitute or replace a proposed nominee without compliance with the requirements for nomination in the Amended Bylaws, including compliance with any applicable deadlines.

 

The Amendments also include various other conforming and technical changes, including updates to provisions relating to virtual meetings to align with changes to the Maryland General Corporation Law.

 

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
