Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On January 9, 2016, the Board of Directors (the Board) of Tessera Technologies, Inc. (the Company) approved an amendment to the Companys Amended and Restated Bylaws (the Bylaws) to delete a provision that any director or the entire Board may be removed, only with cause, by the holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. The amendment was prompted by a recent decision of the Delaware Court of Chancery in a case involving unrelated parties. The amendment eliminates a possible conflict between the Bylaws and Section 141(k) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 141(k) provides that any director or the entire board of directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors (subject to certain exceptions).
The preceding discussion of the Companys amendment to its Amended and Restated Bylaws is qualified by the text of the amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
