Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
(a) Amendment to Bylaws
On February 24, 2017, the Board of Directors of Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), to clarify the timely notice dates for stockholders wishing to submit proposals for consideration at an annual meeting of stockholders without including the proposals in the Company’s proxy statement related to such annual meeting (the “Stockholder Proposals”). The amendment is effective as of February 24, 2017.
Specifically, Section 2.15 of the Bylaws has been amended to state that solely for purposes of the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than ninety (90) calendar days prior to the meeting date, or not more than ten (10) calendar days after the public announcement of the meeting date if the public announcement is made less than one-hundred (100) calendar days prior to the date of the meeting.
The foregoing brief description of the Company’s Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Bylaws filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
