Item 5.03.
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On March 20, 2012, the Board of Directors of Reliance Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company's Bylaws. The Amendment became effective immediately upon its adoption. The Amendment deleted the entirety of Section 3.01 of the Bylaws, which formerly provided for the annual meeting of shareholders to be held on the second Thursday in April each year, and replaced it with the following text:
Section 3.01. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the shareholders shall be held on such date and at such time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting. If the day fixed for the annual meeting shall be a legal holiday in the State of Missouri, such meeting shall be held on the next succeeding business day. If the election of directors shall not be held on the day designated for any annual meeting of the shareholders, or at any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held at a special meeting of the shareholders as soon thereafter as conveniently may be arranged.”
The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.
