Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On July 17, 2024, the Board of Directors of Applied Energetics, Inc. approved and adopted the First Amended and Restated By-laws of the company (the “Amended Bylaws”), effective immediately.
The Amended By-laws effect revisions to update several by-law provisions to reflect the company’s current business, operations and conduct of its corporate affairs. These include conduct of stockholder meetings, titles and functions of officers, and board classification, the last of which will require approval of the stockholders before taking effect. Other revisions are intended to correspond with certain changes in Delaware law, including with respect to indemnification, and to modernize the by-laws to allow for such items as conduct of remote stockholder meetings. A few revisions are ministerial such as that pertaining to the company’s address of record in the State of Delaware.
This description is only a summary of the changes reflected in the Amended By-laws and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended By-laws, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
