Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
Effective December 16, 2014, and in connection with the appointment of Thomas F. Cherry as President of the Corporation, the Corporation's Bylaws were amended to separate the offices of the Chief Executive Officer and the President and to make certain related changes.
Under the Corporation's amended Bylaws, the Chief Executive Officer shall have the general powers and duties of supervision, management and direction over the business and policies of the Corporation, and the President shall have general supervision over, responsibility for and control of the other officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer), agents and employees of the Corporation.  A full description of the Chief Executive Officer's role is found in Article IV, Section 3 of the Corporation's amended Bylaws, and a full description of the President's role is found in Article IV, Section 4 of the Corporation's amended Bylaws.  The amended Bylaws also implement the following related changes:
●
Article II, Section 4: A special meeting of the Corporation's shareholders may be called by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors.
●
Article II, Section 9: The Chairman of the Board of Directors, or in his absence the Chief Executive Officer, or in the Chief Executive Officer's absence the President, shall act as chairman of and preside over meetings of the Corporation's shareholders.
●
Article III, Section 4: A special meeting of the Corporation's Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or any two of the directors.
●
Article III, Section 8: The Chairman of the Board of Directors, or in his absence the Chief Executive Officer (provided that the Chief Executive Officer serves as a director of the Corporation), shall act as chairman and preside over meetings of the Board of Directors.
●
Article IV, Section 7: The position of Treasurer has been removed as a required officer of the Corporation, and the Chief Financial Officer now has the authority and responsibilities previously ascribed to the office of Treasurer.
The amended Bylaws also revise the provisions of Article II, Section 2 regarding preparation of lists of shareholders to conform to the applicable provisions of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, as amended.  The amended Bylaws implement certain additional administrative revisions, including conforming revisions related to the separating the offices of the Chief Executive Officer and the President and ascribing to the Chief Financial Officer the authority and responsibilities previously ascribed to the Treasurer.
