Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
 
On February 13, 2013, the Board approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws (the “Amendment”) intended to enhance the Company’s corporate governance policy.  The Amendment implements a majority voting standard and eliminates plurality voting in the election of directors.  A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
More specifically, the amendment to Article III, Section 1(b) of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws, which became effective immediately, removes the provisions related to plurality voting in uncontested director elections.  A plurality voting standard will be retained for contested elections, that is, when the number of director nominees exceeds the number of Board seats up for election.
