Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
In connection with the approval and adoption of the policy statement regarding shareholder rights plans described in Item 8.01, on February 28, 2006, Comarco, Inc., a California corporation (“Comarco”), and U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation, as rights agent (the “Rights Agent”), entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Rights Agreement between Comarco and the Rights Agent dated February 5, 2003 (the “Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Final Expiration Date of the Rights (each as defined in the Rights Agreement) advanced from February 17, 2013 to January 31, 2007. The effect of the Amendment will be to cause the Rights Agreement and the Rights to terminate at the close of business on January 31, 2007.
Item 3.03. | Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders. |
See the information set forth under “Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement,” which is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.
On February 24, 2006, the Board of Directors of Comarco approved and adopted the following policy statement on shareholder rights plans:
“The Company’s Rights Plan will terminate effective January 31, 2007 and the Board has no current intention to adopt a new shareholder rights plan thereafter. The Board shall submit the adoption of any future shareholder rights plan to a shareholder vote before it acts to adopt such rights plan;provided, however, that the Board may act on its own to adopt a shareholder rights plan without first submitting such rights plan to a shareholder vote if, under the then-existing circumstances, the Board, including a majority of the independent members of the Board, in the exercise of its fiduciary duties determines that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to adopt the shareholder rights plan without the delay in adoption that a shareholder vote would necessitate. If a shareholder rights plan is adopted after January 31, 2007 without first submitting such action to a shareholder vote, the Board must submit the shareholder rights plan to a shareholder vote within one (1) year after the effective date of the rights plan. Absent such submission to a shareholder vote, and favorable action thereupon, the shareholder rights plan will expire on the first anniversary of its effective date.”
