ITEM 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On April 13, 2005, the Board of the Directors of First Community Corporation (the “Company”) approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Bylaws with respect to a mandatory retirement age of 70 set for members of the Board of the Directors. Previously, there was no mandatory retirement age for members of the Board of Directors.
Amended Article III now provides (in Section 3.2(c)) that the mandatory retirement age for members of the Board of Directors shall be 70 years of age and that the retirement date will be the last day of the director’s term in which the director reaches 70 years of age. Section 3.2(c) further provides that a person may not be nominated for election as a director if the person would be 70 years of age or older when the person’s term of office would commence. This bylaw does not apply to any directors currently serving at the time that this bylaw takes effect.
The Amendment is effective as of April 13, 2005. The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
