• enhance procedural mechanics and disclosure requirements in connection with stockholder nominations of directors and submissions of proposals regarding other business at stockholder meetings, including requiring additional background information and disclosures regarding proposing stockholders, proposed nominees and business, and other persons related to a stockholder’s solicitation of proxies, such as additional information about the ownership of securities and material litigation, relationships and interests in material agreements with or involving the Company.

The Third Amended and Restated Bylaws also include certain technical, modernizing and clarifying changes.
