. Stockholders’ Investment (Deficit)
At the Company's annual meeting of stockholders held on December 19, 2018, the Company's stockholders approved certain amendments to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”). The amendments to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation were as follows:
An Amendment to increase the number of authorized shares of its common stock from 4,200,000 shares to 44,000,000 shares and to increase its total authorized shares of capital stock from 4,800,200 shares to 44,600,200 shares.
An amendment to permit stockholder action by written consent.
An amendment to permit a majority of its stockholders to request that the Company call a special meeting of stockholders. The Certificate of Incorporation previously only permitted the chairman of the Company's board of directors or the board of directors to call a special meeting of stockholders.
An amendment to permit a majority of its stockholders to remove directors with or without cause. The Certificate of Incorporation previously provided that directors could only be removed for cause and by a vote of stockholders holding at least 66 2/3% of its common stock.
An amendment to permit a majority of its stockholders to amend or repeal its Certificate of Incorporation or any provision thereof. The Certificate of Incorporation previously provided that certain provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation could only be amended or repealed with the affirmative vote of stockholders holding 80% of its common stock, unless such amendment or repeal was declared advisable by its board of directors by the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the entire board of directors, notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be specified by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
An amendment to permit a majority of its stockholders to amend or repeal its Second Amended and Restated Bylaws or any provision thereof. The Certificate of Incorporation previously provided that the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws could only be amended or repealed with the affirmative vote of the stockholders holding 66 2/3% of the Company's common stock.
An amendment to designate the courts in the state of Delaware as the exclusive forum for all legal actions unless otherwise consented to by the Company.
An amendment to expressly opt-out of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Certificate of Incorporation did not previously opt-out of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 203 is an anti-takeover provision that generally prohibits a person or entity who acquires 15% or more in voting power from engaging in certain transactions with a corporation for a period of three years following the date such person or entity acquired the 15% or more in voting power.
An amendment to renounce any interest or expectancy it may have in, or being offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity that is presented to Elliott, or funds affiliated with Elliott, or any of its or their directors, officers, stockholders, or employees.
On January 8, 2019, the Company filed Certificates of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the amendments to its Certificate of Incorporation became effective.
On February 26, 2019, the Company entered into a Stockholders’ Agreement with Elliott (the “New Stockholders’ Agreement”). The Company's execution and delivery of the New Stockholders’ Agreement was a condition to Elliott’s backstop commitment. Pursuant to the New Stockholders’ Agreement, the Company granted Elliott the right to designate nominees to Company's board of directors and access to available financial information.
On February 26, 2019, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement with Elliott and investment funds affiliated with HCI Equity Partners (the “A&R Registration Rights Agreement”), which amended and restated the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 2, 2017, between the Company and the parties thereto. The Company's execution and delivery of the A&R Registration Rights Agreement was a condition to Elliott’s backstop commitment. The A&R Registration Rights Agreement amended the Registration Rights Agreement to provide the Elliott Stockholders (as defined therein) and the HCI Stockholders (as defined therein) with unlimited Form S-1 registration rights in connection with Company securities owned by them.
On March 7, 2019, the Company's board of directors and the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock approved a 1-for-25 reverse split of the company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The 1-for-25 reverse stock split was effective upon the filing and effectiveness of a Certificate of Amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation after the market closed on April 4, 2019, and the Company’s common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on April 5, 2019. See Note 1 for more information on the reverse stock split.
