• address the universal proxy rules adopted by the SEC, including by clarifying that no person may solicit proxies in support of a director nominee other than the Board of Directors’ nominees unless such person has complied with Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including applicable notice and solicitation requirements;

• enhance certain procedural mechanics and disclosure requirements in connection with stockholder nominations of directors and submissions of other proposals 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;

• reserve the white proxy card for exclusive use by the Board of Directors;

• establish that derivative claims (other than actions arising under federal securities laws), claims alleging a breach of any duty owed by a director, officer or employee, claims pursuant to the Maryland General Corporation Law, our charter or Amended and Restated Bylaws and claims governed by the internal affairs doctrine be brought in any state court of competent jurisdiction in Maryland (or, if such state courts do not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court located within the State of Maryland), unless the Company agrees otherwise;

• establish that claims arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, be brought in the United States federal district courts, unless the Company agrees otherwise;

• clarify the procedures for announcing the date, time and place of a reconvened meeting of stockholders in the event a meeting of stockholders is adjourned.

The Amended and Restated Bylaws also include certain technical, modernizing and clarifying changes, including updates to provisions relating to virtual meetings to align with changes to the Maryland General Corporation Law.
