Item 5.03 | Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On April 19, 2012, the Board of Directors of InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp. (the Company) approved an amendment to the Companys Bylaws, effective April 19, 2012, to amend and restate Article II, Section 2 thereof to align the vote required with respect to actions by the stockholders at any meeting of stockholders with the default standard under Nevada law. As amended, when a quorum is present at any meeting of stockholders, (i) action by the stockholders on a matter other than the election of directors is approved if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action and (ii) with respect to the election of directors, directors must be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the election. Previously, the act of a majority of the stock represented at any meeting at which a quorum was present was required to approve any matter.
The Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company reflecting this amendment are filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this report.
