<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt 7.2pt;text-align:left;">On April 30, 2019, the Board of Directors (the &ldquo;Board&rdquo;) of Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) approved an amendment (the &ldquo;Amendment&rdquo;) to, and the amendment and restatement of, the Company&rsquo;s Fourth Amended and Restated By-Laws (the &ldquo;Bylaws&rdquo;) to remove certain limitations on the right of the Company&rsquo;s stockholders to call a special meeting.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Item 5.03.        Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On April 30, 2019, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") approved an amendment (the "Amendment") to, and the amendment and restatement of, the Company's Fourth Amended and Restated By-Laws (the "Bylaws") to remove certain limitations on the right of the Company's stockholders to call a special meeting.
In particular, the Bylaws previously required a request by stockholders holding a majority of the Company's common stock in order to call a special meeting to consider a matter substantially the same as a matter previously considered by the stockholders in the past 12 months.  The Amendment removes this requirement.  As a result of the Amendment, stockholders holding ten percent of the Company's common stock may call a special meeting with no qualification or limitation.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment and the Fifth Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company. Complete copies of the Amendment and the Fifth Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
In addition, on April 30, 2019, the Board also approved and adopted an amendment to the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines to provide for a director retirement policy, which provides that a non-employee director shall not stand for re-election and shall retire from the Board on the date of the annual stockholder meeting that next follows such director's seventy-second birthday.
