Amendments to Articles of Inc. or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year, Financia
Amendment to By-Laws
Effective as of January 7, 2013, the Board of Directors of Zebra approved amendments to the Amended and Restated By-Laws of Zebra (the "By-Laws"). The following description of the amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the By-Laws, as so amended, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3(ii) to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Section 2.11: Nominees for director are elected by a plurality of the votes cast. However, for all uncontested director elections held after December 31, 2013, each nominee for director who is elected by a plurality vote who does not receive a Majority Vote with respect to that nominee's election will have such nominee's resignation from the Board considered in accordance with Zebra's Corporate Governance Guidelines. A "Majority Vote" means that the number of votes cast in favor of a nominee must exceed the number of votes withheld with respect to that nominee. In any Contested Election, nominees for director will continue to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast without a resignation to be considered by the Board conditioned on receipt of a Majority Vote. A "Contested Election" means an election of directors (i) for which the Secretary of Zebra has received a notice that a stockholder has nominated a person for election to the Board in compliance with Section 2.4 or 2.6, as applicable, of Zebra's By-Laws and (ii) such nomination has not been withdrawn at least five days prior to the date Zebra first mails the notice of meeting to stockholders. Neither abstentions nor broker non-votes count as votes cast.
With respect to all elections held after December 31, 2013, in order for any
person to remain a nominee of the Board for service on the Board, such person
must submit an irrevocable resignation, prior to the mailing of Zebra's proxy
statement relating to the meeting of stockholders at which such person would be
a nominee for director, contingent (x) on that person not receiving a Majority
Vote for election and (y) acceptance of that resignation by the Board in
accordance with Zebra's Corporate Governance Guidelines. Zebra's Corporate
Governance Guidelines provide that after receipt of the certified results of the
stockholder vote, the Nominating Committee of the Board will consider the
tendered resignation(s) in light of the best interests of Zebra and its
stockholders and will make a recommendation to the Board concerning the
acceptance or rejection of such resignation(s). In considering whether to accept
or reject a resignation, the Committee will consider all factors deemed relevant
by the members of the Committee, including, without limitation, (i) the impact
of the acceptance of the resignation on stock exchange listing or other
regulatory requirements, (ii) the financial impact of the acceptance of the
resignation (including, for example, amounts that may become payable under
executive compensation or other agreements), (iii) the unique qualifications of
the director (including, for example, whether the director serves on the Audit
Committee of the Board as an "audit committee financial expert" and whether
there are one or more other directors qualified, eligible and available to serve
on the Audit Committee in such capacity), (iv) the reasons that the Committee
believes are the reasons that stockholders withheld votes with respect to the
election of such director (including, for example, whether the director was the
target of a "vote no" campaign on an illegitimate or wrongful basis), and
(v) any alternatives for addressing the reasons for the "withheld" votes
(including, for example, rejection of the resignation coupled with a commitment
to seek to address and cure such underlying reasons).
