Item 5.03. | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation orBy-Laws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On December 20, 2016, the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) approved Amendment No. 2 to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws Amendment”). The Bylaws Amendment changes the voting standard for uncontested director elections from a plurality voting standard to a majority voting standard. Accordingly, pursuant to the Bylaws Amendment, in future uncontested director elections, a director nominee will be elected only if the votes cast for such nominee’s election exceed the votes cast against such nominee’s election. The Bylaws Amendment retains a plurality voting standard in contested elections, which includes an election for which, as of the record date of any meeting of stockholders, there are more nominees for election than positions on the Board of Directors to be filled by that election.
The summary of the Bylaws Amendment above is qualified in its entirety by the Bylaws Amendment filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
