Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On December 7, 2023, Amit Singh notified the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Asana, Inc. (the “Company”) of his decision to resign from the Board, effective December 8, 2023, for personal reasons. There were no disagreements between Mr. Singh and the Company. On December 8, 2023, the Board reduced the size of the Board to eight members.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On December 8, 2023, based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, in connection with the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and changes to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), regarding universal proxy cards, certain recent changes to the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), and a periodic review of corporate governance matters, the Board approved and adopted the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), effective immediately.
Among other things, the amendments effected by the Amended and Restated Bylaws:
•align provisions regarding nominations of directors and solicitations of proxies with Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, including, but not limited to: (a) requiring the nominating stockholder to provide the Company, no later than five business days prior to the applicable stockholder meeting, with reasonable evidence that it has solicited proxies or votes from stockholders representing at least 67% of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote on the election of directors, (b) requiring that any stockholders directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders use a proxy card color other than white, and (c) clarifying that a failure to provide information required by Rule 14a-19 or comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) will result in the Company disregarding a stockholder’s nomination or proposal of other business;
•revise certain provisions relating to adjournment procedures and lists of stockholders entitled to vote at stockholder meetings, in each case to conform to recent amendments to the DGCL;
•enhance the informational and procedural requirements in connection with stockholder proposals and stockholder director nominations, including, but not limited to: (a) requiring additional information about the stockholder making the director nomination or proposal, (b) requiring additional information about the stockholder proposed business and/or director nominee, and (c) providing that the number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at the annual meeting of the stockholders may not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such annual meeting;
•require that a stockholder intending to authorize a qualified representative to act for such stockholder as a proxy to present a nomination or proposal at such meeting to give notice of such authorization to the Company at least five business days before the applicable meeting;
•amend the notice provisions to reflect amendments to the DGCL relating to electronic transmission of notices to stockholders;
•add an emergency bylaw provision to provide clarity and authority to directors during an emergency situation that would otherwise prevent a quorum of the Board or a Board committee from being achieved; and
•make various other updates, including ministerial and conforming changes.
The above description of the Amended and Restated Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
