Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On May 4, 2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of USA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”) to implement majority voting for directors in uncontested elections. Accordingly, a director shall be elected if the number of votes “for” a director’s election exceeds the number of votes “against” that director’s election. Votes cast shall exclude abstentions with respect to that director’s election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an election of directors in which the number of nominees for election as directors at the meeting exceeds the number of directors to be elected, then directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting at which a quorum is present. Prior to the change to the Bylaws, members of the Board were elected by plurality vote whether or not the election was contested.

In addition, the Amendment adds a director resignation provision to the Bylaws, which provides that in order for any person to be nominated as a director of the Company, such person must have submitted to the Board prior to the shareholder meeting for which the person is nominated an irrevocable conditional resignation from the Board, to take effect upon the occurrence of all of the following conditions: (i) the director stood for election to the Board at a shareholder meeting where the number of nominees did not exceed the number of directors to be elected, (ii) the director was not elected by the majority vote described above and (iii) the resignation was accepted by the Board. The Amendment provides that the Board shall make its decision following a recommendation by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, subject to certain exceptions should the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee be unable to form a quorum. If the incumbent director’s resignation is not accepted by the Board, such director shall continue to serve until the next annual meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected, or his or her earlier resignation or removal.

This summary description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the Amendment, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
