Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On January 26, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of iBio, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted resolutions to amend and restate the Company’s First Amended and Restated Bylaws to provide that the holders of one-third of the shares of the capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at all meetings of the stockholders, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Article 1.6 of the Company’s First Amended and Restated Bylaws previously provided that the holders of a majority of the shares of capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, would constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business.
In addition, the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws now include a new exclusive forum selection clause (Article 6.11). The provision provides that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Company Law, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be a state or federal court located within the state of Delaware, in all cases subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. In addition, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; however, this provision does not apply to claims arising exclusively under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
The foregoing description of the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and are incorporated herein by reference.
