Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
|
On February 24, 2011, the Board of Directors (the Board) of TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (the
Company) amended Article I, Section 1.9 of the Amended and Restated By-laws of the Company (the
By-laws) to adopt a majority vote standard in uncontested director elections. The new majority
vote standard provides that to be elected in an uncontested election, a director nominee must
receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast so that the number of votes cast for
a director nominee exceeds the number of votes cast against that director nominee. A plurality
vote standard will be retained for the election of directors only in the event of a contested
election. Additionally, if an incumbent director nominee is not elected in a uncontested election,
such director shall promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board for consideration in
accordance with the Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines. The amendment to the By-laws was
effective as of February 24, 2011.
The text of the amendment to the By-laws is set forth in Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated
herein by reference.
