Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On July 13, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of The Simply Good Foods Company (“Simply Good Foods” or the “Company”) adopted amendments to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (as amended and restated, the “Bylaws”) in order to: (i) update the procedures and disclosure requirements for director nominations made under the Company’s existing advance notice requirements to reflect the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s adoption of Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (ii) eliminate the former requirement regarding availability of the voting list during stockholder meetings, consistent with recent amendments to Section 219 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”); and (iii) make other technical and conforming changes. These amendments became effective July 13, 2023.
Specifically, the modifications to the advanced notice requirements, the Bylaws were amended to revise and enhance certain procedures and disclosure requirements set forth in the advanced notice bylaw provision in connection with stockholder nominations of directors and submission of stockholder proposals, including, among other things: (i) requiring additional information, representations, and disclosure from proposing stockholders, proposed nominees for director, and other persons associated with nominating or proposing stockholders; (ii) updating certain provisions to reflect the requirements of Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act relating to universal proxy rules; and (iii) require that a nominating stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders use a proxy card color other than white.
The foregoing description of the revisions to the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
