The Bylaw Amendment provides, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) for the shifting of litigation expenses to an unsuccessful plaintiff in intra-corporate litigation who does not obtain a judgment on the merits that substantially achieves, in substance and amount, the full remedy sought and (ii) that a plaintiff in intra-corporate litigation filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware shall be deemed to consent to personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of Delaware and have service of process made upon them in any such action by service upon such plaintiff’s counsel as agent.
The foregoing description of the Bylaw Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaw Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.3 and incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03.
