On November 3, 2022, our Board of Directors approved an amendment and restatement of our Bylaws (our "Amended and Restated Bylaws"), which became effective that same day. Among other things, our Amended and Restated Bylaws:
• enhance disclosure and procedural requirements in connection with stockholder nominations of directors, including by (i) requiring any stockholder submitting a director nomination notice to represent as to whether such stockholder intends to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees in accordance with Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, (ii) requiring such nominating stockholder to provide reasonable evidence, at our request, that certain requirements of Rule 14a-19 have been satisfied, (iii) permitting us to disregard proxies or votes solicited for such stockholder's nominees if such stockholder fails to comply with requirements of Rule 14a-19, and (iv) incorporating other technical changes in light of the universal proxy rules adopted by the SEC; and
• clarify that a stockholder is permitted to cast a vote by proxy filed in accordance with the procedures established by us if that proxy is (i) executed by such stockholder or its agent in a manner permitted by applicable law, (ii) compliant with Maryland law and our bylaws, and (iii) filed in accordance with the procedures established by us.
The preceding summary of our Amended and Restated Bylaws is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in connection with, the complete copy of our Amended and Restated Bylaws attached hereto as Exhibit 3.3 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated by reference herein.
