Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On March 30, 2009, at our annual meeting of shareholders our shareholders approved the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation that were submitted for shareholder approval. On the same day we filed the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Colorado Secretary of State which became effective upon filing. A copy of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation are filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein.
The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation amended several provisions of our Articles of Incorporation as they were previously in effect. Among the effects of the amendments were:
§
An increase to our authorized capital stock by increasing both the
Company's authorized common stock
to 500 million shares (from 50
million) and the authorized preferred stock to 100 million shares
(from 10
million).
§
Subject to certain conditions required by law, our shareholders are now permitted
to approve corporate actions with less
than unanimous written consent.
Our Articles of Incorporation as were previously in effect were adopted prior to the adoption in 1994 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act which significantly revised the Colorado business law. The Amended and Restated Articles amended certain terms and provisions of our Articles of Incorporation so that Cogenco has greater flexibility as permitted under Colorado law. For example, our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (as filed on March 30, 2009) provide that our Board of Directors may consist of as few as one person, and permit the issuance of shares of Company capital stock when and if approved by the Board of Directors, regardless of how many directors are then serving. Additionally, the Amended and Restated Articles revised and removed certain provisions from our Articles of Incorporation that our directors believed were unnecessary or obsolete.
Item 8.01. Other Events
On March 30, 2009, we held our annual meeting of shareholders. Two proposals were submitted to the shareholders for approval, the approval of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and the election of two directors. 1,049,792 shares were present at the meeting in person or by proxy and constituted a quorum. At the meeting our shareholders elected the following persons as directors, with the votes being cast as follows:
