XPO Logistics, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2015 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2015 Annual Meeting”) on May 19, 2015. At the 2015 Annual Meeting, the stockholders approved an amendment of Article VII of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the “Certificate”) to declassify the Board of Directors and to provide for the annual election of directors. The amendment to the Certificate is more fully described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed on April 8, 2015 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the 2015 Annual Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”). The full text of the amendment to the Certificate is attached as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The amendment to the Certificate became effective upon the Company’s filing of the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 20, 2015.
In connection with the amendment to the Certificate, the Company also adopted amendments to its 2nd amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to eliminate the provisions pertaining to the classified structure of the board of directors, to adopt a majority voting election standard for uncontested elections of directors, to require incumbent directors not elected by a majority vote to tender their resignations, and to provide for a procedure for the evaluation of such resignations. The amendments to the Bylaws are more fully described in the Company’s Proxy Statement and were adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 25, 2015 subject to stockholder approval of the amendment to the Certificate described above. The full text of the amendments to the Bylaws is attached as Exhibit 3.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
