Amendments to Articles of Inc. or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year, Other Events, Fina


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

On November 11, 2008, the Board of Directors of eHealth, Inc. (the "Company") approved an amendment and restatement of the Company's bylaws (the "Amended and Restated Bylaws"), which became effective immediately upon approval. The Amended and Restated Bylaws are primarily intended to enhance the advance notice provisions of the Company's bylaws to ensure that such provisions are clear and unambiguous in light of recent developments in Delaware corporate law. Specifically, the principal amendments are set forth in Article I, Section 1 and
Section 2 and are summarized as follows:

• The advance notice provisions shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations at annual meetings of stockholders (or special meetings of stockholders called to elect directors) or bring other business before an annual meeting of stockholders.

• More detail is provided as to the requirements for a stockholder notice to be considered timely.

• Greater specificity is given regarding the categories of information which the stockholder proponent must provide about the nominee, the proponent and any business proposed by the stockholder, including interests in derivative securities or arrangements with persons holding derivative securities, relationships and/or arrangements with the stockholder's nominee(s), and information that would enable the board of directors to determine a nominee's eligibility to serve as a director.

• Effect several additional minor clarifications and revisions to Article I.

The Amended and Restated Bylaws contain other minor revisions in Article V, Article VI and Article VIII. The preceding statements are a summary of the changes effected by the Amended and Restated Bylaws, which summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Bylaws, attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

On November 12, 2008, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which up to ten percent of the Company's outstanding common stock may be repurchased, not to exceed $30 million.
