The Board of Directors of the Company also amended and restated the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Amended Bylaws”) effective upon the filing of the Articles of Amendment on May 26, 2011. As more fully described in the Company’s Proxy Statement dated April 8, 2011, the Amended Bylaws reflect the amendment to the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation described above and require the Company’s corporate secretary to call special shareholders meetings upon a request from the holders of 25% of the Company’s outstanding common shares subject to certain procedural and informational requirements that must be satisfied by the requesting shareholders. A copy of the Amended Bylaws is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2.
