Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 23, 2016, the Board of Directors of Questar Company (the “Company”) set August 2, 2016 as the date of the Company’s 2016 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) and the close of business on May 25, 2016 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting.
Because the date of the Annual Meeting has change by more than 25 calendar days from the date of the anniversary of the Company’s 2015 annual meeting of shareholders, the Company has set a new deadline for submission of shareholder proposals intended to be included in the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. Shareholders who wish to have a proposal considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), must ensure that such proposal is received by the Company at Questar Corporation, 333 South State Street, PO Box 45433, Salt Lake City, Utah 84145-0433, Attn: Corporate Secretary, on or before the close of business on April 4, 2016, which date is in accordance with the requirements contained in the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”). Any such proposal must also comply with the procedures (including all information specified) in the Company’s Bylaws and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under Rule 14a-8 in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting.
In addition, in accordance with the requirements contained in the Company’s Bylaws, shareholders who wish to bring business before the Annual Meeting outside of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act or to nominate a person for election as a director must ensure that written notice of such proposal (including all of the information specified in the Bylaws) is received by the Company’s Corporate Secretary at the address specified above no later than the close of business on April 4, 2016.
