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

 

On November 23, 2016, the board of directors of Stillwater Mining Company (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Company’s bylaws (the “Bylaws Amendment”) to amend and restate in its entirety Section 2.10 of the bylaws and the first sentence of Section 3.3 of the bylaws, in order to adopt a majority voting standard for the election of directors. This amendment provides that directors shall be elected by the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy at each annual meeting of the stockholders. In addition, the Bylaws Amendment also adds a new Article X, which provides that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for a variety of actions or proceedings that involve the Company. This description of the Bylaws Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Bylaws Amendment, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
