Item 3.03 Material Modification of Rights of Security Holders.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On May 24, 2006, the stockholders of Exponent, Inc. (the “Company”) approved, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s proposal to amend its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to (i) increase the authorized number of common shares by 80 million shares, from 20 million to 100 million, (ii) increase the authorized number of preferred shares by three million shares, from two million to five million, and (iii) effect a two-for-one stock split of its common stock. As a result of the stockholder approval, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 24, 2006. The Company has committed to limit its use of the increased authorized capital stock to 20 million of the incremental 80 million common shares, and to use none of the incremental three million preferred shares, unless the approval of the Company’s stockholders is obtained subsequently, such as through a further amendment to the Company’s authorized capital stock.
A copy of the Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
