Item 5.03. | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On January 16, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Boulder Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) amended the Company’s bylaws to provide for a majority voting standard for the election of directors to the Board in uncontested elections. In uncontested elections, director nominees will be elected if the number of votes cast for the nominee’s election exceeds the number of votes cast against the nominee’s election. In contested elections, director nominees will continue to be elected by a plurality voting standard.
The foregoing information is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
On January 16, 2015, the Board also amended the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines to include a resignation policy which provides that, if an incumbent director who was a nominee for re-election is not re-elected in an uncontested election of directors, the incumbent director will be required to tender his or her resignation for consideration by the Board’s Governance and Nominating Committee. The Corporate Governance Guidelines, as amended, are available on the Company’s website (www.boulderbrands.com) under “Investor Center—Corporate Governance Highlights.”
