Item 3.03
Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.
To the extent required by Item 3.03, the information contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As disclosed in the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A of PHX Minerals Inc. (the "Company") filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5, 2024 (the "2024 Proxy Statement"), Peter B. Delaney informed the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") that he had decided to retire from the Board effective as of the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, which was held on May 16, 2024 (the "2024 Annual Meeting").  Therefore, effective as of May 16, 2024, Mr. Delaney retired as a director of the Company.  Prior to the 2024 Annual Meeting, Mr. Delaney served on the Compensation Committee of the Board and the Governance and Sustainability Committee of the Board.
Mr. Delaney's decision to retire from the Board effective as of the 2024 Annual Meeting did not involve any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.
As disclosed in the 2024 Proxy Statement, the Governance and Sustainability Committee and the Board as a whole determined not to nominate a replacement for Mr. Delaney and instead determined to reduce the size of the Board from seven members to six. As a result, effective as of May 16, 2024, the size of the Board is six members.
Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
At the 2024 Annual Meeting, the Company's stockholders voted on and approved a proposal to amend the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.01666 per share ("Common Stock"), from 54,000,500 shares to 75,000,000 shares (the "Amendment").
Following the approval of the Amendment by the Company's stockholders at the 2024 Annual Meeting, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment effecting the Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware on May 17, 2024, to be effective as of the date of filing.
A description of the Amendment is set forth in the 2024 Proxy Statement. The description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
