As noted under Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2017 Annual Meeting”) of LegacyTexas Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) held on May 22, 2017, the Company’s shareholders approved the LegacyTexas Financial Group, Inc. 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”).  A description of the 2017 Plan is contained in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2017 Annual Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 14, 2017 under the heading “Proposal 5 - Approval of the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan” and is incorporated herein by reference, and a copy of the 2017 Plan is attached to that proxy statement as Appendix A and is also incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 5.03.
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

As noted under Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, at the 2017 Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to Article 7 of the Company’s charter to declassify the Company’s Board of Directors and certain related amendments (the “Charter Amendments”).  As a result, the entire Board of Directors will be elected by shareholder vote at the 2018 annual meeting, each for a one-year term to expire at the annual shareholders’ meeting in 2019. The amendment had the effect of shortening the existing terms of certain directors whose terms extend beyond the 2018 annual shareholders’ meeting, which each of the effected directors had previously agreed to. The Charter Amendments are described in greater detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2017 Annual Meeting filed with the SEC on April 14, 2017 under the heading “Proposal 6 - Approval of the Company's Charter Amendment to Declassify the Board of Directors and Other Related Amendments,” which description is incorporated herein by reference and a copy of the proposed Charter Amendments is attached to that proxy statement as Appendix B and is also incorporated herein by reference.  The Charter Amendments became effective upon the filing by the Company of articles of amendment to the Company’s charter with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation on May 23, 2017.  A complete copy of the Company’s charter, as amended, is attached to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
