Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On September 28, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Aviat Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) amended and restated the Company’s bylaws (as so amended and restated, the “Bylaws”). The amendments:
•
provide for the ability of stockholders holding not less than 15% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock to call a special meeting of stockholders, but only if such stockholders comply with the requirements of the Bylaws;
•
adjust the time period for the submission of director nominations and proposals of business by stockholders to not fewer than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting;
•
provide that, at uncontested stockholder meetings, a nominee for director will be elected to the Board if the votes cast for such nominee’s election exceed the votes cast against such nominee’s election (previously, the Company had plurality voting in director elections with a corporate governance policy that a director must resign if he or she received a greater number of votes “withheld” from his or her election than votes “for” such election); and
•
make certain other non-substantive language and conforming changes and other technical edits and updates.
The foregoing description of the amendments to the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
