Item 8.01.  Other Events.

On December 21, 2015, the Delaware Chancery Court (the "Court") issued an opinion in In re VAALCO Energy, Inc. Stockholder Litigation, Consol. C.A. No. 11775-VCL, invalidating as a matter of law provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of VAALCO Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("VAALCO"), that permitted the removal of VAALCO's directors by its stockholders only for cause. The Court held that, in the absence of a classified board or cumulative voting, VAALCO's "only for cause" director removal provisions conflict with Section 141(k) of the Delaware General Corporation Law and are therefore invalid.

Article III, Section 4 of the By-Laws, as amended (the "By-Laws"), of the Alamo Group Inc. (the "Company") currently contains a similar "only for cause" director removal provision, and the Company does not have a classified board of directors or cumulative voting. In light of the VAALCO decision, the board of directors (the "Board") of the Company resolved that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to amend Article III, Section 4 of the By-Laws of Company.

As such, on March 3, 2016, the Board of the Company proposed, deemed advisable and approved, subject to approval by the Company's stockholders, an amendment to the By-Laws in order to provide that, consistent with Section 141(k) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, any directors, or the entire board of directors, may be removed from office, with or without cause, upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. The Board directed that such amendment be proposed at the Company's next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company.
