Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change of Fiscal Year.
On December 15, 2016, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) amended the Company’s Bylaws to provide that in uncontested elections, a director must tender his or her resignation to the Board if such director receives more “withhold” votes than votes “for” electing the director. Within 90 days after the date of the certification of the election results, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (or other committee that may be designated by the Board) will make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board will promptly act on such committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose within four business days on Form 8-K its decision and the rationale behind such decision.
The foregoing description of the amendment of the Company’s Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Company’s Bylaws, as amended, attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
