On June 3, 2020, Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) filed Articles of Amendment (“Articles of Amendment”) to the Articles of Amendment and Restatement of the Company with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation in order to allow both directors and stockholders to amend the Company’s bylaws in accordance with the provisions of the bylaws. The Articles of Amendment were duly approved by the Company’s stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders held on June 2, 2020 (the “Annual Meeting of Stockholders”) and were effective upon filing. A description of the material terms of the Articles of Amendment can be found in the section of the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed by the Company on April 17, 2020 entitled “Proposal 3: Amendment to Charter to Provide Stockholders with the Ability to Amend Our Bylaws” and is incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

In addition, effective upon the filing of the Articles of Amendment on June 3, 2020, the Company adopted amended and restated bylaws of the Company (the “Second Amended and Restated Bylaws”), which allow for the bylaws to be adopted, altered or repealed by the board of directors or by the stockholders of the Company, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the matter.

 

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Articles of Amendment and the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
