Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal year.
On February 21, 2012, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Penseco Financial Services Corporation (“the Company”) adopted amended and restated bylaws of the Company, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (as so amended and restated, the “Amended Bylaws”). The Amended Bylaws were adopted as part of a review of the Company’s governing documents and were effective upon adoption. The Amended Bylaws provide, among other things, for:
| • | the allocation of responsibility for certain tasks relating to annual meetings of the Company’s shareholders to the officer presiding over such meeting; |
| • | the annual election of a chairman of the Board, as well as a description of such chairman’s duties and repsonsibilities (which in some instances include duties and responsibilities formerly allocated to the Company’s President); |
| • | the ability of the Board to elect a vice chairman; |
| • | director attendance via telephone at meetings of the Board; |
| • | authorization for the chairman of the Board, or any other properly authorized officer, to vote the Company’s securities on behalf of the Company; |
| • | removal of the executive committee as a mandatory standing committee of the Board (although the Board will nevertheless be entitled to provide for such a committee in its discretion); |
| • | alignment of the Board standing committee descriptions with the current charters of such standing committees; and |
| • | use of uncertificated shares. |
In addition, on February 23, 2012, the Company filed articles of amendment to its articles of incorporation with the Department of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Amendment”). The Amendment was approved by the Board at its February 21, 2012 meeting and was effective upon filing. The Amendment provides for the use of uncertificated shares, as may be determined by the Board from time to time.
The foregoing descriptions of the Amended Bylaws and the Amendment are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Bylaws and the Amendment, as filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
