On February 11, 2016, InfraREIT, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that its 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders has been scheduled for May 18, 2016 (the “Annual Meeting”). The Company’s Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on March 14, 2016 as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Because the Annual Meeting is the Company’s first annual meeting, and in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), stockholders wishing to have a proposal considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or seeking to nominate a director or bring business before the Annual Meeting outside of Rule 14a-8, must provide notice of such proposal to the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices by February 21, 2016, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and send its proxy materials. The address of the Company’s principal executive offices is 1807 Ross Avenue, 4th Floor, Dallas, Texas 75201. Any such stockholder proposal must also comply with all the requirements set forth in the Bylaws and applicable securities and other laws. The February 21, 2016 deadline will also apply in determining whether notice of a stockholder proposal is timely for purposes of exercising discretionary voting authority with respect to proxies under Rule 14a-4(c) of the Exchange Act.
