Bioject Medical Technologies is asking shareholder to approve four proposals: the first proposal is the election of directors and the second proposal is to approve an amendment to the 1992 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the plan and to extend the expiration date of the plan.
The third proposal is asking shareholders to approve amendments to the Company’s 2002 Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to declassify the Company’s Board of Directors and eliminate a 75% shareholder voting requirement for certain matters. The affirmative vote of 75 percent in voting power of our outstanding common stock and 75 percent in voting power of each series of our outstanding preferred stock entitled to vote as of the record date is necessary for approval of the amendments.
The fourth proposal is asking shareholders to approve an amendment to the company’s 2002 Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of preferred stock. The affirmative vote of the majority in voting power of the outstanding common stock and a majority in voting power of each series of the company’s outstanding preferred stock entitled to vote as of the record date is necessary for approval of the amendment.
