Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On December 10, 2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Evolent Health, Inc. (the “Company”) approved and adopted an amendment and restatement of the Company’s by-laws (as so amended and restated, the “By-Laws”).
The By-Laws were amended to implement proxy access and make conforming changes. The By-Laws now permit a stockholder, or a group of up to twenty (20) stockholders, owning three percent (3%) or more of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock continuously for at least three (3) years, to nominate and include in the Company’s proxy materials director candidates constituting up to the greater of two (2) directors or twenty percent (20%) of the Board, provided that the stockholder(s) and the nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified in the By-Laws.
The By-Laws were also amended to provide that director nominees will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast if the number of director nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected (rather than by a majority voting standard) at a meeting, and to remove certain obsolete provisions.
The foregoing description of the amendments to the By-Laws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the By-Laws, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 3.1 to this report and incorporated by reference herein.
