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

Effective January 30, 2019, the Board approved certain amendments to the Company’s By-Laws (the “By-Laws”).

In addition, the By-Laws amendments (a) permit a majority of the Board to call special meetings of the stockholders at any time; (b) update the advance notice provision to require information on third-party compensation and require proposed nominees to submit questionnaires to the Company; and (c) streamline the description of the majority vote provisions for the election of directors.

The foregoing description of the amendments to the By-Laws is qualified in its entirety by reference to text of the By-Laws, as amended, filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
