Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As noted under Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2011 Annual Meeting”) of MB Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) held on June 13, 2011, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Second Amended and Restated Plan”). A description of the Second Amended and Restated Plan is contained in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2011 Annual Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 27, 2011 under the heading “Proposal III. Approval of the MB Financial, Inc. Second Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan” and is incorporated herein by reference, and a copy of the Second Amended and Restated Plan is attached to that proxy statement as Appendix A and is also incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
As noted under Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, at the 2011 Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to Article 7 of the Company’s charter to declassify the Company’s Board of Directors and certain related amendments (the “Charter Amendments”). As a result, directors of the Company will be elected to one-year terms starting with the 2012 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders. The declassification will be phased-in, so that the existing terms of directors elected prior to the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders will not be shortened. Accordingly, directors elected at the 2011 Annual Meeting (whose terms will expire at the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders) and directors elected prior to the 2011 Annual Meeting whose terms will expire at the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders, will continue to serve until the end of their terms. Beginning with the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders, the entire Board will be elected annually. The Charter Amendments are described in greater detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2011 Annual Meeting filed with the SEC on April 27, 2011 under the heading “Proposal IV. Approval of the Charter Amendment to Declassify the Board and Certain Related Charter Amendments,” which description is incorporated herein by reference. The Charter Amendments became effective upon the filing by the Company of articles of amendment to the Company’s charter with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation on June 15, 2011. A copy of the articles of amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
On June 13, 2011, following the 2011 Annual Meeting, the Company’s Board of Directors approved amendments to Article II of the Company’s by-laws to conform the by-laws to the Charter Amendments, effective upon the Charter Amendments becoming effective. A copy of the Company’s amended and restated by-laws is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
