Item 5.03 |
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or
Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On December 25, 2014, the board of directors (the
"Board") of Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (the "Company") approved certain amendments to the Company's bylaws to (i) to update the name of the Company to its current name; and (ii) for one time only, to reduce the quorum required for the Company's meeting of the shareholders to be held on December 30, 2014 (the
"Annual Meeting") from a majority to one-third of the stock of the Company outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy. The amendment became effective immediately.
The reason for the one-time quorum reduction is the lack of shareholders votes in reaching the majority quorum for the Annual Meeting. Based on the tabulation report as of December 24, 2014, approximately 33.93% of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the record date and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting had been voted by proxy. Broker's non-votes are not counted for the quorum purpose because the proposals at the Annual Meeting are considered as non-routine ones.
The Company cannot postpone the Annual Meeting to solicit votes to reach the quorum because the Annual Meeting has to be held by December 31, 2014 pursuant to the NASDAQ continuing listing standards which require a company to have an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of its fiscal year-end. Therefore, reducing the requisite quorum is the only option in order to have the Annual Meeting held in time.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amendments approved by the Board as contained in the Certificate of Amendment of the Bylaws of the Company, a copy of which is attached and incorporated herein as Exhibit 3.1 to this report.

The undersigned, being the duly elected Chief Financial Officer

does hereby certify as follows:
1. On December 25, 2014, the Board of Directors of the
Corporation duly approved at a board meeting, amendments to the Bylaws of the

“Section 8. Quorum and Adjournment. Except for a special election of directors pursuant to the Delaware Business Corporation Law, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of the stock of the Corporation outstanding and entitled to vote thereat shall be requisite and shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the shareholders, except for the annual meeting of the shareholders to be held on December 30, 2014, the quorum of which shall be reduced to one-third of the shares of the stock of the Corporation outstanding and entitled to vote thereat. When a quorum is once present to organize a meeting, it shall not be broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any shareholders. If at any meeting of the shareholders there shall be less than a quorum so present, the shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat, may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be present, but no business shall be transacted at any such adjourned meeting except such as might have been lawfully transacted had the meeting not adjourned.
