Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
election as directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders or to
present any other business at an annual meeting of the stockholders. The
amendments explicitly provide that the provisions of Sections 3 and 4 are the
exclusive means for a stockholder to nominate directors at an annual or special
meeting of stockholders or to bring other business before an annual meeting of
stockholders, other than proposals governed by Rule 14a-8 of Regulation 14A
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (which
provides its own procedural requirements). Sections 3 and 4 specify the
information required to be provided to the Company about the stockholder
proposing business or submitting a nomination as well as the information
required to be provided to the Company concerning the business proposed or the
stockholder's nominee(s) for director. In addition, Section 4(g) requires, among
other things, that each person nominated by a stockholder for election as a
director of the Company complete and return to the Company a written
questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such person
and the background of the person who is nominating such person.
Under the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws, subject to certain
exceptions specified therein, no director nominations or any other business may
be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders unless it is specified in
the notice of the meeting or is otherwise brought before the meeting by or at
the direction of the Board or by a stockholder entitled to vote who has
delivered the required written notice to the Company's Secretary not less than
90 days or more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding
year's annual meeting. In order for a stockholder to nominate directors, or
bring other business before the 2009 annual meeting of stockholders that is not
to be included in the Company's proxy statement, notice must be received by the
Company between January 20, 2009 and February 19, 2009. Such notice must comply
with the requirements of Sections 3 or 4 of the Bylaws and stockholders of the
Company desiring to submit a proposal or director nomination should carefully
review the Bylaws to ensure compliance with the applicable provisions. Any
notice received after February 19, 2009 will be untimely. The Company reserves
the right to reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action with
respect to any nomination or proposal that does not comply with these and other
applicable requirements.
Proposals of stockholders intended to be presented at the 2009 annual meeting
of stockholders and included in the Company's proxy statement and proxy were
required to be received by the Secretary of the Company by December 15, 2008.
The Company did not receive any proposals by such date.
