Pursuant to the majority voting standard, in uncontested elections each director shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast with respect to the directors.  In contested elections, which are elections where the number of director nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elections, directors will continue to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting.  Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Bylaws, in an uncontested election, if a director fails to receive a majority of the votes cast, such director must immediately tender his or her resignation in accordance with the procedures established by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the &#8220;Committee&#8221;). The Board will then determine whether to accept the resignation or take other action, through a process managed by the Committee and following a recommendation of that Committee. If such director&#8217;s resignation is not accepted by the Board, such director shall continue to serve until his successor is duly elected, or until his subsequent death, retirement, removal or resignation in accordance with its terms.

​
Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
​
On February 19, 2021, the Board adopted an amendment to Section 1.8 of Article I of the Company's Bylaws (as so amended, the "Amended and Restated Bylaws") to change the voting standard for the election of uncontested elections from a plurality standard to a majority voting standard.  Pursuant to the majority voting standard, in uncontested elections each director shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast with respect to the directors.  In contested elections, which are elections where the number of director nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elections, directors will continue to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting.  Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Bylaws, in an uncontested election, if a director fails to receive a majority of the votes cast, such director must immediately tender his or her resignation in accordance with the procedures established by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the "Committee"). The Board will then determine whether to accept the resignation or take other action, through a process managed by the Committee and following a recommendation of that Committee. If such director's resignation is not accepted by the Board, such director shall continue to serve until his successor is duly elected, or until his subsequent death, retirement, removal or resignation in accordance with its terms. The foregoing summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.
