Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Amended and Restated Bylaws
On June 22, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Micromet, Inc. (the “Company”) approved and adopted amended and restated bylaws of the Company (as so amended, the “Bylaws”), effective as of that date. The principal changes made to the Bylaws were to expand the advance notice provisions contained in Section 9 of Article II of the Bylaws. The provisions for advance notice of stockholder proposals and nominations for election to the Board now require any proponent of a director nomination or proposal to furnish information regarding recent derivative transactions made by such proponent related to the Company’s stock. In addition, an individual nominated by stockholders for election to the Board must provide specified information to the Company, including a summary of his or her background and qualifications and a description of any voting arrangements to which he or she may be subject. Section 6 of Article II was amended to harmonize the procedures for calling a special meeting of stockholders with those described in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to date and as currently in effect, and Article VII, Section 4 was amended to update the means of providing notice to directors, as may be required by the Bylaws or the Certificate of Incorporation, to expressly include electronic transmission.
The foregoing description is not a complete description of the amendments and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Amendment to Certificate of Designation of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
On June 22, 2011 the Board approved a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Designation to increase the number of shares designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock thereunder from 75,000 shares to 200,000 shares (the “Certificate of Amendment”). A copy of the Certificate of Amendment, as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 23, 2011 and effective as of June 24, 2011, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
