Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 28, 2008, the Board of Directors of Quanex
Building Products Corporation (the "Company") approved forms of an Indemnity Agreement to be entered into
with each of its non-employee directors and executive officers, to be effective September 2, 2008. The following
brief summary constitutes a broad overview of some material terms of the forms of Indemnity Agreements, and should not
be relied upon as a complete listing of all the terms of the agreements. This summary should be read in conjunction
with the full text of the Indemnity Agreements, the forms of which are attached as exhibits hereto and incorporated
herein by reference. The form of Indemnity Agreement for directors is attached as Exhibit 10.1, and the form of
Indemnity Agreement for executive officers is attached as Exhibit 10.2.
•
For third party proceedings against a director or officer, the Company will indemnify
for any expenses, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts, if the director or officer acted in good faith and in a
manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the Company's best interests or, if it is a
criminal proceeding, if the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. If
the director or officer is found not to have acted in good faith, then no indemnity is provided.
•
For proceedings brought on behalf of the Company (e.g. by a shareholder in the
company's name, or by the company itself), the Company will indemnify for expenses so long as the director or
officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
Company's best interests. No indemnity is provided for
judgments
against a director or officer in this
case. Additionally, if the director or officer is found not to have acted in good faith, then the indemnity that would
have been provided for expenses is no longer provided, and must be repaid if any advances had already been made.
•
The Company can advance money to the director or officer to cover future expenses, but
if the director or officer is later found to be not entitled to indemnity (e.g. because they acted in bad faith), then
this advance money must be repaid.
•
Indemnity is
excluded
under the agreement in the following circumstances:
•
Where the director or officer has already been reimbursed by an insurance policy;
•
Where the director or officer is liable for an accounting of profits as the result of
an improper sale or purchase of Company securities under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act; or
•
Where the proceeding at issue was initially brought by the director or officer against
the Company, unless it was previously authorized by the board.
•
There are a few possible procedures to determine whether a director or officer is
entitled to indemnity:
•
A vote of disinterested directors or a committee of disinterested directors selected
by the board.
•
If there are no disinterested directors, then independent counsel is selected to
provide an opinion to the board.
•
At the board's discretion, it can ask the shareholders to vote on whether the
director or officer is entitled to indemnity.
•
If there has been a change in control of the Company, then independent counsel will
always be used to provide the judgment of whether indemnity is proper.
•
The agreement continues in effect until the later of 10 years, or one year after
the final termination of any proceeding to which the director or officer was entitled to indemnity under the
agreement.
Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
The summary of the Company's Amended and Restated
Bylaws contained below in Item 5.03 is incorporated herein by reference. As described below, the amendment and
restatement of the Bylaws constitutes a material modification to the rights of holders of the Company's common
stock.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change
in Fiscal Year.
Amendment to Bylaws
Effective August 28, 2008, the Company's Board of Directors
approved an amendment and restatement of the Company's Bylaws. A summary of the provisions changed by virtue of
this amendment and restatement can be found below. This summary is a broad overview of the changes, and should not be
relied upon as a complete listing of all changes to the Company's Bylaws. This summary should be read in
conjunction with the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are attached as Exhibit 3.2 of the
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 28, 2008
and incorporated herein by reference.
•
Section 3.4 was amended to change the advance notice requirement for stockholders
to make nominations for directors and to propose matters at an annual meeting. Under the new Bylaw provision, to be
timely, a stockholder's notice must be received at the Company's principal executive offices not less than
90 nor more than 150 days prior to the first anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting. The
former provision counted a proposal as timely if it was received not less than 60 nor more than 180 days prior to the
first anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting.
•
Section 3.5 was amended to change the advance notice requirement for stockholders
to make nominations for directors and to propose matters at a special meeting. Under the new Bylaw provision, to be
timely, a stockholder's notice must be received at the Company's principal executive offices not less than
90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the date of the special meeting, or by the tenth day following the
Company's announcement of the special meeting in the event that the announcement is made less than 90 days prior
to the meeting.
•
Sections 3.4 and 3.5 were amended to expand the information requirements related
to a stockholder's nomination of a director or proposal of other matters at stockholder meetings, including
additional disclosure by the proposing stockholder of information on derivative and synthetic arrangements involving
voting and economic interests in the Company's stock.
•
Article XI was amended to clarify that, in the event the Company changes its
Bylaws in the future, the Company's current and former directors and officers will remain entitled to
indemnification for any action taken while a director or officer that precedes that subsequent amendment, even if the
proceeding is commenced after the bylaw change. Article XI was further amended to clarify that an officer or
director may receive indemnification for the same matter from two or more entities; but that he or she has no
obligation to pursue other indemnification and that the credit against the indemnification applies only to monies
actually received as indemnification from another entity.
