Bylaw Amendments
The proposed Bylaw Amendments consist of (1) the deletion in Article VI, Section 1 of the Bylaws of the second sentence thereof which provides certain limitations on consecutive terms of Officers of the Corporation and (2) an amendment to Article IX, Section 1 of the Bylaws to reduce the voting threshold regarding amendment or repeal of the Bylaws from a vote of approval “by a unanimous vote of Directors” to a vote of approval by a majority of the directors in office at the time the amendment is adopted. The first Bylaw Amendment described above is being made to remove an unnecessary impediment on successive terms and provide maximum flexibility and continuity for the Corporation in its operations.
