Item 5. Other Events.

 

(a) Date of Next Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

 

DDi Corp. (the “Company”) has designated May 26, 2004 as the date for its next Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2004 Annual Meeting”).

 

(b) Deadlines for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations for the 2004 Annual Meeting.

 

The Company’s current Bylaws include (a) a provision setting forth certain procedures relating to the nomination of directors (the “Nomination Bylaw”) and (b) a provision setting forth certain procedures for properly bringing business before an annual meeting of the stockholders (the “Stockholder Proposal Bylaw”).

 

Nomination Bylaw

 

Under the Company’s current Bylaws, no person will be eligible for election as a director unless nominated in accordance with the provisions of the Nomination Bylaw. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made by (a) the Board of Directors or (b) any stockholder who (1) will be entitled to vote for the election of directors at the Annual Meeting and (2) complies with the notice procedures set forth in the Nomination Bylaw. Nominations by stockholders must be made in written form to the Secretary of the Company. Under the Nomination Bylaw, to be timely for an annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the Company’s principal executive offices not more than 90 days nor less than 60 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the Company’s immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 calendar days of the anniversary date of the date on which the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders was held, to be timely, notice by the stockholder must be so received at the Company’s principal executive offices at DDi Corp., 1220 Simon Circle, Anaheim, California 92806, Attn: Corporate Secretary not later than the close of business on the 10th calendar day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made.

 

To be effective, the written notice must include: (a) as to each person, if any, whom the stockholder intends to nominate for election or reelection as a director: (1) the name, age, business address and residence address of such person, (2) the principal occupation or employment of such person, (3) the number of shares of stock of the corporation which are beneficially owned by such person, and any other information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (including without limitation such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement, if any, as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); and (b) as to the stockholder giving notice, (1) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation’s books, of the stockholder proposing such nomination, and (2) the class and number of shares of the corporation which are beneficially owned by the Stockholder.


For purposes of calculating the deadlines for the submission of nominations and proposals for the 2004 Annual Meeting, the date this report is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission will be deemed to be the day on which public announcement of the date of the 2004 Annual Meeting is first made.

 

Under the Nomination Bylaw, in order to be timely for the 2004 Annual Meeting, a stockholder’s notice regarding a director nomination must be delivered to or mailed and received at the Company’s principal executive offices not later than March 4, 2004.

 

Stockholder Proposal Bylaw

 

Under the terms of the Stockholder Proposal Bylaw, to be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors; (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors; or (c) otherwise properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder. For business (other than the nomination of directors, which is governed by the Nomination Bylaw) to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Company.

 

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the Company’s principal executive offices not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the anniversary of the date of the Company’s immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 calendar days of the anniversary date of the date on which the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders was held, to be timely, notice by the stockholder must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th calendar day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made. Under the Stockholder Proposal Bylaw, in order to be timely for the 2004 Annual Meeting, a stockholder’s notice regarding a proposal must be delivered to or mailed and received at the Company’s principal executive offices not later than March 4, 2004.

 

To be effective, the written notice must include, as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (b) the name and address, as they appear on the Company’s books, of the stockholder proposing such business, (c) the class and number of shares of the Company which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, (d) any material interest of the stockholder in such business, and (e) any other information that is required to be provided by the stockholder pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act in his or her capacity as a proponent of a stockholder proposal.

 

Any stockholder wishing to bring business before the 2004 Annual Meeting, who would like the Company to consider the inclusion of such proposal in its proxy statement for the meeting under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, also must provide written notice of such


proposal to the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices on or prior to March 4, 2004.

 

With respect to any proposal that a stockholder of the Company presents at the 2004 Annual Meeting that is not submitted for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, the proxy for the 2004 Annual Meeting will confer discretionary voting authority to vote on such proposal unless (a) the Company is notified of such proposal no later than March 4, 2004, and (b) the proponent complies with the other requirements set forth in Rule 14a-4 under the Exchange Act.
