Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On February 8, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Vapotherm, Inc. (the “Company”) approved and adopted Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”) incorporating certain amendments, including amendments in response to the new universal proxy rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and recent amendments to the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). The Amended and Restated Bylaws became effective immediately upon their approval and adoption by the Board.
The amendments reflected in the Amended and Restated Bylaws, include, among other changes:
•Enhancing the procedural mechanics and disclosure requirements relating to business proposals submitted and director nominations made by stockholders for consideration at annual meetings of the stockholders of the Company, including referring specifically to the new SEC universal proxy rule and requiring additional information regarding director nominees;
•Providing greater flexibility for adjourning and reconvening a meeting of the Company’s stockholders, including if no quorum is obtained;
•Adding detail regarding how notice must be given to stockholders, particularly with respect to electronic transmissions;
•Eliminating the former requirement that the Company make available its stockholder list during a meeting of the Company’s stockholders;
•Expanding the responsibilities of the person presiding over any meeting of the Company’s stockholders; and
•Adding emergency bylaw provisions in case of an emergency, disaster or catastrophe to give the Company greater flexibility in navigating these challenges as now permitted by the DGCL.
The foregoing summary of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, as approved, adopted, and effective on February 8, 2023, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
