Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On March 25, 2020, upon the recommendation of the Nominating, Corporate Governance, Quality and Compliance Committee, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Genesis Healthcare, Inc. (the "Company") amended and restated the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (as so amended and restated, the "Bylaws") to implement proxy access. Proxy access will first be available to stockholders in connection with the Company's 2021 annual meeting of stockholders. The Bylaws became effective immediately.
Article II, Section 2.17 of the Bylaws has been added to permit a stockholder, or a group of up to 20 stockholders, to nominate and include in the Company's proxy materials for any annual meeting of stockholders director candidates constituting up to the greater of 2 individuals or 20% of the Board, provided that (i) such stockholder or the stockholder group, as applicable, owns 3% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock (on a net long basis) continuously for at least 3 years and (ii) such stockholder(s) and the nominee(s) satisfy certain procedural and eligibility requirements set forth in Article II, Section 2.17 of the Bylaws.
The procedural and eligibility requirements set forth in Article II, Section 2.17 of the Bylaws include a requirement that a notice of proxy access nomination must be received at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than 120 nor more than 150 calendar days prior to the one-year anniversary of the date that the Company first distributed its proxy statement to stockholders for the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. Article II, Section 2.17 of the Bylaws also includes specified requirements that the nominating stockholder(s) and the nominee(s) provide certain information, representations and agreements to the Company in order to be eligible for proxy access.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the full text of the Bylaws, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Board has also approved proposed amendments to the Company's Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws to declassify the Board and to provide the ability of stockholders to call a special meeting, which amendments will require stockholder approval. The details of such proposed amendments will be set forth in the Company's proxy statement for its 2020 annual meeting of stockholders.
