Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
 
On October 26, 2016, our Board of Directors approved certain amendments to our Bylaws, as follows:
 
All references to Pole Perfect Studios, Inc. were replaced with Torchlight Energy Resources, Inc. to reflect our name change effected on February 8, 2011;
 
Section 2.1, “Place of Meetings,” was amended to remove reference to the old address of our principal office;
 
Section 3.8, “Compensation,” was amended to clarify our compensation policies with respect to members of Board committees;
 
Section 4.5, “Chairman of the Board,” was deleted in its entirety and Section 3.13, “Chairman of the Board,” was added to clarify that the title of Chairman of the Board does not make that individual an officer of the company—the title only relates to his or her role as a member of the Board. Additionally, the section numbers in Article Four were amended to reflect the deletion of Section 4.5, “Chairman of the Board,” so that the previously numbered Section 4.6, “President,” is now Section 4.5 and so forth; and
 
Section 5.1, “Committees of Directors,” was amended to reduce from two to one the minimum number of members of which a committee appointed by the Board of Directors may consist.
 
The preceding is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and are incorporated herein by reference. The preceding amendments to our Bylaws are effective as of October 26, 2016.
