Item 8.01.      Other Events

On June 3, 2019, Newtek Business Services Corp.’s (the “Company”) Board of Directors (“Board”) approved, and has recommended that the Company’s shareholders approve, an amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to the Company’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement (the “Charter”). The Charter Amendment would allow shareholders to amend the Company’s bylaws (the “Bylaws”) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all votes entitled to be cast. The Company expects to hold a special meeting of shareholders to allow shareholders to vote on the Charter Amendment in August of 2019. A similar proposal submitted for shareholder approval at the July 26, 2018 special meeting of shareholders failed to obtain shareholder approval.

If shareholders approve the Charter Amendment, the Board has authorized the Company to make conforming amendments to the Bylaws.

The existing Charter will remain in effect unless and until shareholders approve the Amendment.
