As disclosed in Item 5.07 below, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held May 9, 2018 (the Annual Meeting) of Kelly Services, Inc. (the Company), stockholders approved amendments to the Companys Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws.
The amendments to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation eliminated certain obsolete provisions, eliminated a stakeholder provision that could conflict with Delaware law, and made additional revisions in the interests of modernization. These amendments were approved by the Board of Directors (the Board), subject to stockholder approval, and became effective upon the filing of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State on May 11, 2018.
The amendment to the Amended and Restated Bylaws added Article X, which provides that the Delaware Chancery Court will serve as the exclusive forum for certain legal actions. The amendment was approved by the Board, subject to stockholder approval, and is reflected in the Companys Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, which became effective May 9, 2018.
Additional information concerning the amendments is included in the Companys definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 9, 2018, including, as Annex A, a copy of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation marked to show changes.
