ITEM 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On February 4, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of US Airways Group, Inc. (the “Company”) approved amendments to the Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) of the Company to adopt a majority vote standard in uncontested elections of directors. The Board determined to restate the Bylaws in their entirety (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”) effective as of such date.
Prior to the adoption of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, members of the Board were elected by a plurality of the votes cast, whether or not the election was contested. Under the majority vote standard set forth in the Amended and Restated Bylaws, in order to be elected to the Board in an uncontested election, a director nominee must receive a greater number of votes cast “for” that director than the number of votes cast “against” that director. The Amended and Restated Bylaws retain the plurality vote standard for contested elections.
The foregoing description of the changes made in the Amended and Restated Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
