Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On March 28, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. (the “Corporation”) amended the Corporation’s Bylaws, effective as of that date. The Board amended Article III, Section 3 of the Bylaws to rescind the provision for the qualification of directors (“Bylaw Qualification Provision”) for the purpose of providing shareholders the opportunity to vote on the adoption of the Bylaw Qualification Provision at its next annual meeting of shareholders. The Board of Directors amended the Corporation’s Bylaws on July 30, 2013 to adopt the Bylaw Qualification Provision, which prevents a person from qualifying for service as a director of the Corporation if such person is a party to any compensatory, payment or other financial agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation in connection with candidacy or service as a director of the Corporation.
The foregoing description of the amendment to the Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bylaws, a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit hereto and is expressly incorporated by reference herein.
