") approved an amendment and restatement of the Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws (as so amended and restated, the "
By-Laws
") to declassify the Board and provide for the annual election of all directors, phased in over a four-year period. At each annual meeting of shareholders, beginning with the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders, each director whose term expires at that meeting will be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of shareholders. As a result, at the 2029 annual meeting of shareholders and each annual meeting of shareholders thereafter, all directors will be elected for a one-year term expiring at the next annual meeting of shareholders.
Directors who currently have multiple-year terms will continue to serve those terms until they expire and until such director's successor is elected and qualified or until such director's earlier death, resignation or removal. Any director elected by the Board to fill a vacant directorship would serve until the next election of the class for which the director has been chosen, to the extent such class exists, or until the next annual meeting of shareholders (as applicable), and until such director's successor is selected and qualified or until such director's earlier death, resignation or removal.
The By-Laws became effective immediately.
The above summary of the By-Laws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the By-Laws, which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
