Item 5.03.      Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On December 15, 2020, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Kaman Corporation (the "Company") amended and restated the Company's Bylaws (as so amended and restated, the "Bylaws") to, among other things, lower the threshold for shareholders of record of the Company to call special meetings of the shareholders of the Company from shareholders of record holding at least thirty-five percent (35%) of the common stock of the Company to shareholders of record holding at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the common stock of the Company and make certain other clarifying and conforming changes, as described below.
The amendments require that any special meeting request be made in writing and include, among other things, (i) a statement of the specific purpose of the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting; (ii) the information that would be required to be set forth in a shareholder's notice of a nomination and/or notice of business proposed to be brought before a meeting pursuant to the Bylaws; (iii) a representation that each requesting shareholder, or one or more representatives of each such shareholder, intends to appear in person or by proxy at the special meeting; (iv) an agreement to notify the Company promptly in the event of any disposition prior to the record date for the special meeting and that any disposition of shares prior to the special meeting shall be deemed a revocation of such special meeting request with respect to such disposed shares; (v) the number of shares of common stock owned of record by each such shareholder; and (vi) documentary evidence that the requesting shareholders in the aggregate own at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the common stock of the Company.
The amendments also include additional provisions permitting virtual shareholder meetings, if and to the extent authorized by the Connecticut Business Corporation Act (the "CBCA"), as well as certain other clarifications and refinements intended to more closely align the Bylaws with the applicable provisions of the CBCA.  The amendments were effective immediately upon adoption by the Board.
The foregoing summary of the amendments to the Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 3.1 to this report and incorporated by reference herein.
