On August 14, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted an amendment to the Bylaws of the Company (the “Amendment”), effective as of such date. The Amendment amends Section 4.3 of Article IV of the Bylaws such that the Chairman of the Board of Directors may be, but is not required to be, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Amendment also provides that the Chief Executive Officer, and not the Chairman of the Board, shall be responsible for the general management of the affairs of the Company.
A complete copy of the Company’s current Bylaws, including the language added by the Amendment appearing as Section 4.3, is attached to this report as Exhibit 3.2.
