Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On December 20, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Axon Enterprise, Inc. (the “Company” or “Axon”) adopted and approved amendments (the “Amendments”) to the Company’s bylaws (the “Bylaws”), which became effective immediately.

The Board approved the Amendments in connection with its periodic review of the Company’s corporate governance documents. Among the Amendments are the following:

Added provisions allowing a stockholder, or a group of up to 20 stockholders, owning at least three percent of the Company’s outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years to nominate and include in the proxy materials for the Company’s annual meeting director nominees constituting up to the greater of two directors or twenty percent of the Board, so long as the stockholders and nominees comply with the procedures and other requirements set forth in the Bylaws (the “Proxy Access Provisions”);

Specified that, other than pursuant to the Proxy Access Provisions, a timely notice of stockholder nominations and proposals generally must be received no earlier than the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting and no later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting;

Updated the Bylaws in connection with the rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission relating to universal proxy cards (“Universal Proxy Rules”), including requiring stockholders providing notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to certify to the Company that they have complied with certain requirements under the Universal Proxy Rules no later than seven (7) business days prior to the applicable stockholder meeting;

Refined and clarified the requirements with respect to notice of stockholder nominations and proposals, consistent with the Company’s corporate governance guidelines, including provisions regarding (1) the information to be provided by proposing stockholders, their affiliates and proposed nominees and (2) the questionnaire, representation and agreement to be completed by proposing stockholders and proposed nominees in connection with a stockholder nomination;

Added a requirement that any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders to use a proxy card color other than white;

Revised provisions regarding adjournment of stockholder meetings in light of recent amendments to the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) and refined and clarified the conduct of stockholder meeting; and

Established the Delaware Chancery Court as the exclusive forum for certain actions, including certain stockholder and intra-corporate disputes, and established the federal district courts of the United States of America as the exclusive forum for any claim arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Amendments also implemented certain other administrative, technical, conforming and modernizing changes, including conforming changes in the notice requirements related to special stockholder meetings, and changes to align the language used in certain provisions of the Bylaws with the DGCL and the Universal Proxy Rules.  

The foregoing summary of the Amendments does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Bylaws, as amended and restated, which are filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03.

(c)Notwithstanding any other provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser or no vote, and in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon (the “Voting Stock”), voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal, or to adopt a provision inconsistent with, this Section 2.03-a.

Section 2.05.Purpose of Special Meeting.

Business transacted at any special meeting of the stockholders shall be limited to the matters stated in the notice of such meeting.

Section 2.06.Notice of Meetings.

A copy of such notice may be delivered personally, mailed, postage prepaid, or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, sent by electronic transmission to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting pursuant to Section 2.14 not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before such meeting.

Section 2.08.Quorum; Adjournment.
(a)The holders of a majority of the Voting Stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of all business at meetings of the stockholders, except as may be otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. The Board of Directors or the person presiding at the applicable meeting may adjourn the meeting to another time or place, if any, for any reason or no reason, whether or not a quorum is present and without the approval of the stockholders who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at such meeting, and notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, are announced at the meeting at which such adjournment is made or are provided in any other manner permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting of stockholders, then a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given pursuant to Section 2.06. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If a quorum is present when a duly called or held meeting is convened, the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy may continue to transact business until adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders originally present in person or by proxy to leave less than a quorum.
(b)To the fullest extent provided by law, the Board of Directors may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled annual or special meeting of stockholders (including any special meeting requested by a Requesting Stockholder) at any time before such meeting has been convened.
(c)In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of a meeting of the stockholders (whether or not already publicly noticed) or the announcement thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice pursuant to Section 2.03-a.
Section 2.09.Vote Required.

When a quorum is present or represented at any meeting of stockholders, any matter before any such meeting (other than an election of a director or directors) shall be decided by a majority of the votes properly cast for and against such matter, except where a larger vote is required by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws. Except as otherwise required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, each person nominated to be elected as a director shall be elected by a majority of the votes properly cast “for” and “against” such nominee’s election; provided, however, that in a Contested Election, each person nominated to be elected as a director shall be elected by a plurality of the votes properly cast. If an incumbent director receives less than a majority of the votes cast with respect to such director’s election in an Uncontested Election, such director shall promptly tender his or her resignation to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. No later than ninety (90) days following the receipt of any such tendered resignation, (A) the Board of Directors shall, taking into account any recommendation by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, take formal action with respect thereto (which action may include accepting or rejecting such tendered resignation, or taking other action considered appropriate) and (B) the Corporation shall publicly disclose the Board of Directors’ decision and, in the event that the Board of Directors does not accept such tendered resignation, the rationale for such decision. The director who tenders his or her resignation shall not participate in the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or the decision of the Board of Directors with respect to his or her resignation. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, in making any recommendation under this Section 2.09, and the Board of Directors, in making any decision under this Section 2.09, may consider any factors or other information they consider appropriate or relevant. If the Board of Directors accepts a tendered resignation pursuant to this Section 2.09, then the Board of Directors may fill the resulting vacancy or the Board of Directors may decrease the size of the Board of Directors, in each case, pursuant to Article 5 of the Certificate of Incorporation.

Contested Election” shall mean any election for directors in which the number of nominees for director exceeds the number of board seats open for election. “Uncontested Election” shall mean any election for directors other than a Contested Election.

Section 2.10.Voting Rights.

Except as may be otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, every stockholder of record of the Corporation shall be entitled at each meeting of the stockholders to one vote for each share of capital stock of the Corporation standing in his or her name on the books of the Corporation that has voting power upon the matter in question.

Section 2.11.Proxies.

At any meeting of the stockholders, any stockholder may be represented and vote by a proxy or proxies appointed by an instrument in writing, signed by the stockholder, and filed with the Secretary at or before the meeting. In addition, a stockholder may cast or authorize the casting of a vote by a proxy by transmitting to the Corporation, or the Corporation’s duly authorized agent before the meeting, an appointment of a proxy by means of a telegram, cablegram, or any other form of electronic transmission, including telephonic transmission, whether or not accompanied by written instructions of the stockholder. The electronic transmission must set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the appointment was authorized by the stockholder. If it is determined that a telegram, cablegram, or other electronic transmission is valid, the inspectors of election or, if there are no inspectors, the other persons making that determination shall specify the information upon which they relied to make that determination.

An appointment of a proxy or proxies for shares held jointly by two (2) or more stockholders is valid if signed by any one of them, unless and until the Corporation receives from any one of those stockholders written notice denying the authority of such other person or persons to appoint a proxy or proxies or appointing a different proxy or proxies, in which case no proxy shall be appointed unless the instrument shall otherwise provide. No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

Subject to the above, any duly executed proxy shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be revoked unless written notice of its revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date is filed with the Secretary of the Corporation. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy.

Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders in respect of any nomination or other business must use a proxy-card color other than white, which is reserved for the exclusive use by the Board of Directors.

Section 2.12.Action in Writing.

All actions required or permitted to be taken by the holders of common stock of the Corporation may be effected by the written consent of such holders pursuant to Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; provided that no such action may be effected except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.12 and applicable law.

(a)Request for Record Date. The record date for determining such stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be as fixed by the Board of Directors or as otherwise established under this Section 2.12. Any holder of common stock of the Corporation seeking to have such stockholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent without a meeting shall, by written notice addressed to the Secretary of the Corporation, delivered to the Corporation and signed by holders of record at the time such notice is delivered holding shares representing in the aggregate at least twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation request that a record date be fixed for such purpose. The written notice must contain the information set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 2.12. Following delivery of the notice, the Board of Directors shall, by the later of (i) twenty (20) days after delivery of a valid request to set a record date and (ii) five (5) days after delivery of any information required by the

The record date for such purpose shall be no more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and shall not precede the date such resolution is adopted. If a notice complying with the second and third sentences of this paragraph (a) has been duly delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation but no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors by the date required by the preceding sentence, the record date shall be the first date on which a signed written consent relating to the action taken or proposed to be taken by written consent is delivered to the Corporation in the matter described in paragraph (f) of this Section 2.12; provided that, if prior action by the Board of Directors is required under the provisions of Delaware law, the record date shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
(b)Notice Requirements. Any notice required by paragraph (a) of this Section 2.12 must be delivered by the holders of record of at least twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation (with evidence of ownership attached to the notice), must describe the action proposed to be taken by written consent of stockholders and must contain (i) such information and representations, to the extent applicable, then required by these Bylaws as though such stockholder was intending to make a nomination of persons for election to the Board of Directors or to bring any other matter before a meeting of stockholders, as applicable, and (ii) the text of the proposed action to be taken (including the text of any resolutions to be adopted by written consent of stockholders and the language of any proposed amendment to the Bylaws of the Corporation). The Corporation may require the stockholder(s) submitting such notice to furnish such other information as may be requested by the Corporation to determine whether the request relates to an action that may be effected by written consent under paragraph (c) of this Section 2.12. In connection with an action or actions proposed to be taken by written consent in accordance with this Section 2.12, the stockholders seeking such action or actions shall further update and supplement the information previously provided to the Corporation in connection therewith, if necessary, as required by Article II of these Bylaws.
(c)Actions Which May Be Taken by Written Consent. Stockholders are not entitled to act by written consent if (i) the action relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for stockholder action under applicable law, (ii) the request for a record date for such action is delivered to the Corporation during the period commencing ninety (90) days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the notice of annual meeting for the immediately preceding annual meeting and ending on the earlier of (x) the date of the next annual meeting and (y) thirty (30) calendar days after the first anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting, (iii) an identical or substantially similar item (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, a “Similar Item”), other than the election or removal of directors, was presented at a meeting of stockholders held not more than twelve (12) months before the request for a record date for such action is delivered to the Corporation, (iv) a Similar Item consisting of the election or removal of directors was presented at a meeting of stockholders held not more than ninety (90) days before the request for a record date was delivered to the Corporation (and, for purposes of this clause, the election or removal of directors shall be deemed a “Similar Item” with respect to all items of business involving the election or removal of directors), (v) a Similar Item is included in the Corporation’s notice as an item of business to be brought before a stockholders meeting that has been called by the time the request for a record date is delivered to the Corporation but not yet held, (vi) such record date request was made in a manner that involved a violation of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or other applicable law, or (vii) sufficient written consents are not dated and delivered to the Corporation prior to the first anniversary of the date of the notice of annual meeting for the immediately preceding annual meeting.
(d)Manner of Consent Solicitation. Holders of common stock of the Corporation may take action by written consent only if consents are solicited by the stockholder or group of stockholders seeking to take action by written consent of stockholders from all holders of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on the matter and in accordance with applicable law.

(e)Date of Consent. Every written consent purporting to take or authorize the taking of corporate action (each such written consent is referred to in this paragraph and in paragraph (f) as a “Consent”) must bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the Consent, and no Consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated Consent delivered in the manner required by paragraph (f) of this Section 2.12, consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take such action are so delivered to the Corporation.
(f)Delivery of Consents. No Consents may be dated or delivered to the Corporation or its registered office in the State of Delaware until sixty (60) days after the delivery of a valid request to set a record date. Consents must be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware or its principal place of business. Delivery must be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. In the event of the delivery to the Corporation of Consents, the Secretary of the Corporation, or such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may designate, shall provide for the safe-keeping of such Consents and any related revocations and shall promptly conduct such ministerial review of the sufficiency of all Consents and any related revocations and of the validity of the action to be taken by written consent as the Secretary of the Corporation, or such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may designate, as the case may be, deems necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, whether the stockholders of a number of shares having the requisite voting power to authorize or take the action specified in Consents have given consent; provided, however, that if the action to which the Consents relate is the election or removal of one or more members of the Board of Directors, the Secretary of the Corporation, or such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may designate, as the case may be, shall promptly designate two persons, who shall not be members of the Board of Directors, to serve as inspectors (“Inspectors”) with respect to such Consent, and such Inspectors shall discharge the functions of the Secretary of the Corporation, or such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may designate, as the case may be, under this Section 2.12. If after such investigation the Secretary of the Corporation, such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may designate or the Inspectors, as the case may be, shall determine that the action purported to have been taken is duly authorized by the Consents, that fact shall be certified on the records of the Corporation kept for the purpose of recording the proceedings of meetings of stockholders and the Consents shall be filed in such records. In conducting the investigation required by this section, the Secretary of the Corporation, such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may designate or the Inspectors, as the case may be, may, at the expense of the Corporation, retain special legal counsel and any other necessary or appropriate professional advisors as such person or persons may deem necessary or appropriate and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the opinion of such counsel or advisors.
(g)Effectiveness of Consent. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no action may be taken by written consent of the holders of common stock of the Corporation except in accordance with this Section 2.12.

If the Board of Directors shall determine that any request to fix a record date or to take stockholder action by written consent was not properly made in accordance with, or relates to an action that may not be effected by written consent pursuant to, this Section 2.12, or the stockholder or stockholders seeking to take such action do not otherwise comply with this Section 2.12, then the Board of Directors shall not be required to fix a record date and any such purported action by written consent shall be null and void to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. No action by written consent without a meeting shall be effective until such date as the Secretary of the Corporation, such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may designate, or the Inspectors, as applicable, certify to the Corporation that the Consents delivered to the Corporation in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section 2.12, represent at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take the corporate action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, in accordance with Delaware law and the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and these Bylaws.

(h)Challenge to Validity of Consent. Nothing contained in this Section 2.12 shall in any way be construed to suggest or imply that the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any stockholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of any Consent or related revocations, whether before or after such certification by the

Secretary of the Corporation, such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may designate or the Inspectors, as the case may be, or to prosecute or defend any litigation with respect thereto.
(i)Board-solicited Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, (x) none of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 shall apply to any solicitation of stockholder action by written consent by or at the direction of the Board of Directors and (y) the Board of Directors shall be entitled to solicit stockholder action by written consent in accordance with applicable law.
Section 2.13.Stockholder Nominations Included in the Corporation’s Proxy Statement.
Section 2.13-a.  Inclusion of Stockholder Nominees in the Proxy Statement.
(a)Subject to the other provisions of these Bylaws (including Section 2.03), the Corporation shall include in its proxy statement (including its form of proxy) for an annual meeting of stockholders the name of any stockholder nominee for election to the Board of Directors properly submitted pursuant to this Section 2.13 (each, a “Stockholder Nominee”), provided (1) a timely written notice of such Stockholder Nominee satisfying this Section 2.13 (the “Notice”) is received by the Corporation by or on behalf of a stockholder (a “Proposing Stockholder”) that, at the time the Notice is delivered, satisfies the ownership and other requirements of this Section 2.13, (2) the Proposing Stockholder expressly elects in writing at the time of providing the Notice to have its nominee included in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to this Section 2.13 and (3) the Proposing Stockholder and the Stockholder Nominee otherwise satisfy the requirements of this Section 2.13.
(b)In addition to including the name of the Stockholder Nominee in the Corporation’s proxy statement for the annual meeting, the Corporation also shall include (A) the information concerning the Stockholder Nominee and the Proposing Stockholder that is required to be disclosed in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and (B) if the Proposing Stockholder so elects, a Statement (defined below).  Nothing in this Section 2.13 shall limit the Corporation’s ability to solicit against and include in its proxy materials its own statements relating to any Stockholder Nominee.
Section 2.13-b.  Maximum Number of Nominees.
(a)The number of Stockholder Nominees shall not exceed the greater of (i) two (2) or (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the number of directors in office as of the last day on which notice of a nomination may be received pursuant to this Section 2.13 (the “Final Proxy Access Nomination Date”) or, if such number is not a whole number, the closest whole number below 20% (such greater number, the “Permitted Number”); provided, however, that the Permitted Number shall be reduced by (i) the number of director candidates who will be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials with respect to the annual meeting as an unopposed (by the Corporation) nominee pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or other understanding with any stockholder or group of stockholders (other than any such agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with an acquisition of shares of capital stock of the Corporation, by such stockholder or group of stockholders, from the Corporation), (ii) the number of directors in office as of the nomination deadline who were included in the Corporation’s proxy statement as a Stockholder Nominee for any of the two (2) preceding annual meetings and whose re-election at the upcoming annual meeting is being recommended by the Board of Directors, (iii) the number of Stockholder Nominees whom the Board of Directors itself decides to nominate for election at such annual meeting (each, a “Board Nominee”), (iv) the number of Stockholder Nominees who cease to satisfy the eligibility requirements of this Section 2.13, and (v) the number of Stockholder Nominees whose nomination is withdrawn by a Proposing Stockholder or who become unwilling to serve on the Board of Directors.  In the event that one or more vacancies for any reason occurs on the Board of Directors at any time after the Final Proxy Access Nomination Date and before the date of the applicable annual meeting and the Board of Director resolves to reduce the size of the Board of Directors in connection therewith, the Permitted Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced.

(b)If any Proposing Stockholder intends to nominate more than one Stockholder Nominee pursuant to this Section 2.13, such Proposing Stockholder shall rank such Stockholder Nominees based on the order in which such Proposing Stockholder desires such Stockholder Nominees to be selected for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials in the event that the total number of Stockholder Nominees submitted by the Proposing Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.13 exceeds the Permitted Number.  If the number of Stockholder Nominees pursuant to this Section 2.13 for any annual meeting of stockholders exceeds the Permitted Number, then the highest ranking Stockholder Nominee for each Proposing Stockholder that satisfies the requirements of this Section 2.13 will be selected for inclusion in the proxy statement until the Permitted Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of the ownership position as disclosed in each such Proposing Stockholder’s Notice.  If the Permitted Number is not reached after the highest ranking Stockholder Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section 2.13 from each Proposing Stockholder has been selected, then the next highest ranking Stockholder Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section 2.13 from each Proposing Stockholder will be selected for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials, and this process will continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the Permitted Number is reached.
Section 2.13-c.  Eligibility of Proposing Stockholder.
(a)A Proposing Stockholder must have owned (as defined below) continuously for at least three (3) years a number of shares that represents three percent (3%) or more of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors (the “Required Shares”) as of (i) the date the Notice is received by the Corporation in accordance with this Section 2.13, (ii) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting and (iii) the date of the annual meeting (each such three (3)-year period, a “Holding Period”).  For purposes of satisfying the ownership requirement under this Section 2.13, the shares of capital stock of the Corporation owned by one or more stockholders, or by the person or persons who own shares of the Corporation’s capital stock and on whose behalf any stockholder is acting, may be aggregated, provided that (A) the number of stockholders and other persons whose ownership of shares is aggregated for such purpose shall not exceed twenty (20), (B) each stockholder or other person whose shares are aggregated shall have held such shares continuously for the Holding Periods and (C) a group of two (2) or more funds that are (x) under common management and investment control, (y) under common management and funded primarily by the same employer (or by a group of related employers that are under common control) or (z) a “group of investment companies,” as such term is defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G)(ii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, shall be treated as one stockholder or person for this purpose; provided, further, that if a Proposing Stockholder consists of or is proposed to consist of a permitted group of stockholders, then (i) only the least number of shares owned by a given stockholder at any time during the Holding Periods may be counted toward the Required Shares, and (ii) the condition in this Section 2.13-c(a) regarding continued ownership shall be considered satisfied only if each stockholder that is a member of such group of stockholders continues to own through the date of the annual meeting no less than the least number of shares owned by such stockholder at any time during the Holding Periods.  Whenever a Proposing Stockholder consists of a group of stockholders and/or other persons, any and all requirements and obligations for a Proposing Stockholder set forth in this Section 2.13 must be satisfied by and as to each such stockholder or other person, except that shares may be aggregated to meet the Required Shares as provided in this Section 2.13.  With respect to any one particular annual meeting, no stockholder or other person may be a member of more than one group of persons constituting a Proposing Stockholder under this Section 2.13, and if any Proposing Stockholder appears as a member of more than one group, it shall be deemed to be a member of the group that has the largest ownership position as reflected in the Notice.  Should any stockholder cease to satisfy the eligibility requirements in this Section 2.13, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, or withdraw from a group of Proposing Stockholders at any time prior to the annual meeting of stockholders, the group of Proposing Stockholders shall only be deemed to own the shares held by the remaining members of the group.
(b)For purposes of these Bylaws, a stockholder shall be deemed to “own” only those outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation as to which the person possesses both (i) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares and (ii) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares; provided that the number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) shall not include any shares (A) purchased or sold by such stockholder or any of its affiliates in any

Bylaws - Axon Enterprise, Inc.

Page 17 of 37


transaction that has not been settled or closed, (B) borrowed by such stockholder or any of its affiliates for any purposes or purchased by such person or any of its affiliates pursuant to an agreement to resell, (C) sold short by such stockholder or any of its affiliates or (D) subject to any Derivative Instrument entered into by such stockholder or any of its affiliates, whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of outstanding shares of the Corporation’s capital stock, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of (i) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such person’s or affiliates’ full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares and/or (ii) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such stockholder or affiliate.  A person shall “own” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the person retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest in the shares.  The terms “owned,” “owning” and other variations of the word “own” shall have correlative meanings.  A person’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which (i) the person has loaned such shares, provided that the person has the power to recall such loaned shares on five (5) business days’ notice and provides a representation that it will promptly recall, and promptly recalls, such loaned shares upon being notified that any of its Stockholder Nominees will be included in the Corporation’s proxy statement, or (ii) the person has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by the person.  Whether outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation are “owned” for these purposes shall be determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Corporation and the stockholders.
Section 2.13-d.  Notice Requirements.
(a)To be timely, a Proposing Stockholder’s Notice must be delivered to the Secretary at the Corporation’s principal executive office not earlier than the one-hundred-and-fiftieth (150th) day and not later than the one-hundred-and-twentieth (120th) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the annual meeting is called for a date that is more than thirty (30) days earlier or delayed (other than as a result of adjournment or recess) by more than sixty (60) days later than such anniversary date,  the Notice must be so received not earlier than the one-hundred-and-fiftieth (150th) day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the later of (A) the one-hundred-and-twentieth (120th) day prior to the date of such annual meeting and (B) the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting is first made by the Corporation.

The Board of Directors or an officer of the Corporation authorized by the Board of Directors may close the books of the Corporation against the transfer of shares during the whole or any part of such period.

Section 13.03.Good Faith.
Section 13.03-a.  For purposes of any determination under this Article XIII, a director or officer shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding to have had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, if his or her action is based on information, opinions, reports and statements, including financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or presented by one or more officers or employees of the Corporation or a committee of the Board of Directors, or any other person as to matters whom the director or officer reasonably believes are  within such person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Corporation.
Section 13.03-b.  The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 13.03-c.  The provisions of this Section 13.03 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Section 13.04.Advances of Expenses.

The Corporation shall pay the expenses incurred by its directors or officers in any proceeding (other than a proceeding brought for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale by the director or officer of securities of the corporation within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or similar provision of any state statutory law or common law) in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding at the written request of the director or officer, if the director or officer: (a) furnishes the Corporation a written affirmation of the director’s or officer’s good faith belief that the director or officer is entitled to be indemnified under this Article XIII, and (b) furnishes the Corporation a written undertaking to repay the advance to the extent that it is ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. Such undertaking shall be an unlimited general obligation of the director or officer but need not be secured. Advances pursuant to this Section 13.04 shall be made no later than ten (10) days after receipt by the Corporation of the affirmation and undertaking described in clauses (a) and (b) above, and shall be made without regard to the director’s or officer’s ability to repay the amount advanced and without regard to the director’s or officer’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under this Article XIII. The Corporation may establish a trust, escrow account or other secured funding source for the payment of advances made and to be made pursuant to this Section 13.04 or of other liability incurred by the director or officer in connection with any proceeding.

Section 13.05.Enforcement.

Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and officers under this Article XIII shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the Corporation and the director or officer. Any director or officer may enforce any right to indemnification or advances under this Article XIII in any court of competent jurisdiction if: (a) the Corporation denies the claim for indemnification or advances, in whole or in part, or (b) the Corporation does not dispose of such claim within forty-five (45) days of request therefor. It shall be a defense to any such enforcement action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for advancement of expenses pursuant to, and in compliance with, Section 13.01 of this Article XIII) that the director or officer is not entitled to indemnification under this Article XIII. However, except as provided in Section 13.12 of this Article XIII, the Corporation shall not assert any defense to an action brought to enforce a claim for advancement of expenses pursuant to Section 13.04 of this Article XIII if the director or officer has tendered to the Corporation the affirmation and undertaking required thereunder. The burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that indemnification is not appropriate shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or independent legal counsel) that indemnification is improper because the director or officer has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be asserted as a defense to the

action or create a presumption that the director or officer is not entitled to indemnification under this Article XIII or otherwise. The director’s or officer’s expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing such person’s right to indemnification or advances, in whole or in part, in any proceeding shall also be paid or reimbursed by the Corporation.

Section 13.06.Non-Exclusivity of Rights.

The rights conferred on any person by this Article XIII shall not be exclusive of any other right which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any law, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. The Corporation is authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Section 13.07.Survival of Rights.

The rights conferred on any person by this Article XIII shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Section 13.10.Savings Clause.

If this Article XIII or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Article XIII that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law.

Section 13.11.Certain Definitions.

For the purposes of this Article XIII, the following definitions shall apply:

Section 13.11-a.  The term “proceeding” shall include any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether brought in the right of the Corporation or otherwise, and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative nature, in which the director or officer may be or may have been involved as a party, witness or otherwise, by reason of the fact that the director or officer is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification or reimbursement can be provided under this Article XIII.
Section 13.11-b.The term “expenses” includes, without limitation thereto, expenses of investigations, judicial or administrative proceedings or appeals, attorney, accountant and other professional fees and disbursements and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification under this Article XIII, but shall not include amounts paid in settlement by the director or officer or the amount of judgments or fines against the director or officer.

Section 13.11-d.  References to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article XIII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

Section 13.12.Notification and Defense of Claim.

As a condition precedent to indemnification under this Article XIII, not later than thirty (30) days after receipt by the director or officer of notice of the commencement of any proceeding the director or officer shall, if a claim in respect of the proceeding is to be made against the Corporation under this Article XIII, notify the Corporation in writing of the commencement of the proceeding. The failure to properly notify the Corporation shall not relieve the Corporation from any liability which it may have to the director or officer otherwise than under this Article XIII.

Section 13.12-a.  The Corporation shall be entitled to participate in the proceeding at its own expense.

The director or officer shall have the right to use separate legal counsel in the proceeding, but the Corporation shall not be liable to the director or officer under this Article XIII for the fees and expenses of separate legal counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation of its assumption of the defense, unless (1) the director or officer reasonably concludes that there may be a conflict of interest between the Corporation and the director or officer in the conduct of the defense of the proceeding, or (2) the Corporation does not use legal counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding. The Corporation shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Corporation or as to which the director or officer has made the conclusion provided for in (1) above.
Section 13.12-c.  If two (2) or more persons who may be entitled to indemnification from the Corporation, including the director or officer seeking indemnification, are parties to any proceeding, the Corporation may require the director or officer to use the same legal counsel as the other parties. The director or officer shall have the right to use separate legal counsel in the proceeding, but the Corporation shall not be liable to the director or officer under this Article XIII for the fees and expenses of separate legal counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation of the requirement to use the same legal counsel as the other parties, unless the director or officer reasonably concludes that there may be a conflict of interest between the director or officer and any of the other parties required by the Corporation to be represented by the same legal counsel.

Section 13.14.Subrogation.

In the event of payment under this Article XIII, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the director or officer. The director or officer shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

Article XIV: EXCLUSIVE FORUM
