Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On and effective June 17, 2024, the Board approved the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, amending the previously effective First Amended and Restated Bylaws. The bylaws were modified as follows, in addition to other immaterial amendments:
Section 1.15 stated previously that:
"Whenever the vote of stockholders at any annual or special meeting thereof is required or permitted to be taken for or in connection with any corporate action, such action may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote of stockholders, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action taken, shall be signed by the holders of seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of Stockholders are recorded.
Delivery made to the Corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested.
Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by this Section 1.15 to the Corporation, written consents signed by the holders of the requisite number of shares of outstanding Common Stock are delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested.
An electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of this Section 1.15, provided, that any such electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the Corporation can determine that the electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder."
Section 1.15 has been revised as follows:
"… or consents in writing, setting forth the action taken, shall,
consistent with Section 228(a) of the DGCL, be signed by an amount of holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at any annual or special meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted,
…
…
No
written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the
first date on which a consent is so delivered
in the manner required by this Section 1.15 to the Corporation…
…
An electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written
and
signed for the purposes of this Section 1.15..."
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On April 24, 2024, plaintiff William Schilling ("Plaintiff") filed a Verified Stockholder Class Action Complaint (the "Complaint") in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company and the members of its board of directors (the "Board"), captioned
Schilling v Stephens, et al.
, C.A. No. 2024-0433-NAC (the "Action"). In the Action, Plaintiff alleged that certain provisions in the Amended and Restated Bylaws of PHX Minerals Inc. (the "Bylaws") violated the terms of 8
Del. C.
§ 228. While the Company and the Board deny completely all of the allegations of wrongdoing in the Complaint, on June 17, 2024, the Board amended the Bylaws. As a result of this amendment of the Bylaws, Plaintiff agreed that his claims were moot, and the Company agreed to pay $150,000 in fees and expenses to Plaintiff's counsel. On July 15, 2024, the Court entered a Stipulation and Order providing that Plaintiff's Action would be dismissed with prejudice only as to Plaintiff and the case will be closed. The Court has not passed on the amount of fees and expenses. Plaintiff's Counsel are Christopher J. Kupka, Esq., of Fields Kupka & Shukurov LLP, (212) 231-1500, Adrienne Bell of Kaskela Law LLC, (484) 258-1585, and F. Troupe Mickler IV, Esq. of Ashby & Geddes, P.A. (302) 654-1888. The Company's counsel are Evan Lechtman, Esq. and Adam V. Orlacchio, Esq. of Blank Rome LLP, (302) 425-6429.
