On February 13, 2024, the board of directors of Box, Inc. (the “Company”) approved and adopted amended and restated bylaws of the Company (as so amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), which became effective upon such approval and adoption. The Amended and Restated Bylaws supersede and replace the Company’s bylaws in effect immediately prior to the adoption of the Amended and Restated Bylaws. The amendments were adopted to enhance corporate governance and facilitate stockholder input in director elections and in light of recent developments in Delaware law.
The Amended and Restated Bylaws update and revise the advance notice provisions for the nomination of directors or the proposal of other business at stockholder meetings, including by, among other things, (i) updating and revising the definition of “Stockholder Associated Person;” (ii) removing “any other person or persons” from the list of parties with whom certain agreements, arrangements or understandings must be disclosed; (iii) removing certain disclosure requirements related to persons “acting in concert” with stockholders or Stockholder Associated Persons; (iv) adding a definition of “principal competitor” pertaining to required disclosures relating to interests in competitors; and (v) making certain other clarifying, conforming and ministerial changes.
The foregoing description of the amendments made in the Amended and Restated Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
