Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of SEACOR Holdings Inc. (the "Company") held on June 26, 2013, the Board amended and restated the By-Laws of the Company by adding a new Article XIV, which reads in its entirety as follows:
"ARTICLE XIV
FORUM FOR ADJUDICATION OF DISPUTES
Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company's stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or (d) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article XIV."
A copy of the Fifth Amended and Restated By-Laws in their entirety is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company held on June 26, 2013, stockholders voted on proposals to: (i) elect directors to the Board, (ii) approve the compensation of executives as disclosed in the proxy statement for such meeting (a non-binding advisory resolution) and (iii) ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young, LLP as the Company's independent registered accounting firm.
All nominees for election to the Board were elected for a term that will continue until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until the director's successor has been duly elected and qualified (or the director's earlier resignation, death or removal). The proposal to approve the compensation of executives, as disclosed in the Company's proxy statement, through an advisory resolution was approved. The stockholders' vote ratified the appointment of the Company's independent registered accounting firm.
The number of votes cast for or against and the number of abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to each proposal, as applicable, is set forth below. The Company's independent inspector of election reported the final vote of the stockholders as follows:
