Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 27, 2010, Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement (the “Goldstein Governance Agreement”) with Robert S. Goldstein, the Company’s Vice Chairman, and Jeffrey D. Goldstein and Richard A. Goldstein, two of the Company’s directors, and various family trusts and other entities associated with members of the Goldstein family (the “Goldstein Group”).

 

Pursuant to the Goldstein Governance Agreement, the Company agreed to submit for approval by its stockholders certain amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation and to approve and adopt all necessary amendments to the Company’s bylaws to be consistent with the terms of the Goldstein Governance Agreement and the amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation.  Members of the Goldstein Group have agreed that members of the Goldstein Group, who collectively hold a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock as of the record date, June 28, 2010, will approve the amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation.

 

Additionally, the Company agreed that until the Nomination Expiration Date (as defined in the Goldstein Governance Agreement), it will take all action reasonably necessary for the board of directors to nominate and recommend for election by the stockholders each of Robert S. Goldstein, Jeffrey D. Goldstein and Richard A. Goldstein (collectively, the “Goldstein Directors”) (or, in the event that any of them dies or becomes legally incapacitated, another descendant of Bernard Goldstein (including a person legally adopted before the age of five), who is suitable to serve as the Company’s director pursuant to applicable Nasdaq requirements and other applicable law and designated by the remaining Goldstein Directors, who then are competent; provided, however, if the Company’s board of directors reasonably objects to such designee, another descendant reasonably acceptable to the Company’s board of directors may so be designated by the remaining qualified Goldstein Directors), at any annual meeting at which their respective directorship terms are scheduled to expire.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an underwriting agreement with respect to a firm commitment underwritten offering of shares of the Company’s common stock is not executed on or prior to July 23, 2010 (or such later date as may be mutually agreed to by the Company and the Goldstein Group), the Company will not proceed with the amendments to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws and will take all steps necessary to effect such abandonment and the Goldstein Group will take all steps reasonably requested by the Company to effect such abandonment.

 

The foregoing description of the Goldstein Governance Agreement is only a summary and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Goldstein Governance Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

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

 

On June 25, 2010, the board of directors of the Company, approved and adopted, effective as of June 25, 2010, an amendment to the Company’s bylaws to correct typographical errors.  As a result, Article 7 of the bylaws was amended by deleting the following proviso in Section 7.3 in its entirety:

 

“provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to alter or modify any provision or law of the certificate of incorporation pursuant to which the written consent of holders of less than all outstanding shares is sufficient for corporate action by stockholders;”

 

and replacing it with the following:

 

“provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to alter or modify any law or provision of the certificate of incorporation pursuant to which the written consent of holders of less than all outstanding shares is sufficient for corporate action by stockholders.”

 

A copy of the Company’s bylaws, as amended, is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
