(a) On December 13, 2016, the Board of Directors of Coeur Mining, Inc. (the “Company”) approved amendments to its Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”). The amendments took effect upon approval by the Board of Directors.
The amendments make the following changes:
| |
• | Add a new section entitled “Submission of Information by Director Nominees” that requires any director nominee, in connection with being nominated, to provide the Company with a completed D&O (director and officer) questionnaire and represent to the Company that the nominee: (1) consents to serve as a director and currently intends to serve for the entire term for which he or she is standing for election; (2) will disclose to the Company certain voting, compensation, reimbursement and indemnification agreements in connection with service or action as a director or nominee; and (3) if elected, will comply with the Company’s policies and guidelines (New Section 2.9); |
| |
• | For stockholders that are entities, require a notice submitted under the advance notice bylaw to include stock ownership information for the entity’s executives, directors, managing members and control persons, in order to provide the Company and other stockholders with complete information about the economic interests of stockholders seeking to submit nominations and other business through the advance notice process (Section 2.10(a)(ii)(D)); and |
| |
• | Make other, minor revisions to clarify the operation of the advance notice bylaw, including: (a) defining the term “close of business”; and (b) giving both the Chairman of the Board and the chairman of a meeting of stockholders the authority to determine compliance with the advance notice bylaw (Sections 2.10(c)). |
The amendments include other non-material technical and conforming changes to the Bylaws.
The foregoing description of the Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bylaws, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.
