Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On February 5, 2016, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Innophos Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) approved amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), which became effective upon their adoption by the Board on February 5, 2016. The amendments to the Bylaws (i) amended Section 2 of Article III to provide that the voting threshold required for uncontested director elections is a greater number of shares voted “for” a director than shares voted “against” the director and that any incumbent director who fails to satisfy this threshold shall tender his or her resignation to the Board (the prior bylaws provided for a plurality threshold in all director elections), and (ii) removed the provision in Section 3 of Article III that required that director removals be for cause.
The amended Bylaws are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and are incorporated herein by reference.
