On February 19, 2025, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") adopted amended and restated By-laws (the "By-laws"), effective immediately. The amendments are further described as follows:
● | Change in the voting standard for the election of directors in uncontested elections from a plurality to a majority vote; |
● | In an uncontested election, if an incumbent director is not elected by a majority of votes cast, the incumbent director shall promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board for consideration, for which the Board has up to 30 days to accept or reject his or her resignation; and |
● | If a director's resignation is accepted by the Board, or if a nominee for director is not elected and the nominee is not an incumbent director, then the Board may fill the resulting vacancy, or may decrease the size of the Board. If a director's resignation is not accepted, such director will continue to serve until the next annual meeting and until such director's successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or his or her earlier resignation or removal. |
In addition to the majority voting provisions, the By-laws also include certain technical edits and updates. The foregoing description of the amendments to the By-laws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sixth Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1.
