Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

 

On August 1, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Paramount Group, Inc. (the “Company”) amended and restated the Company’s Sixth Amended and Restated Bylaws (as so amended and restated the “Seventh Amended and Restated Bylaws” or “Bylaws”), to, among other things:

address the universal proxy rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, by clarifying that no person may solicit proxies in support of a director nominee other than the Board’s nominees unless such person has complied with Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including applicable notice and solicitation requirements;
enhance procedural mechanics and disclosure requirements in connection with stockholder nominations of directors and submissions of proposals regarding other business at stockholder meetings, including requiring additional background information and disclosures regarding proposing stockholders, proposed nominees and business, and other persons related to a stockholder’s solicitation of proxies; and
outline the procedures for announcing the date, time and place of a reconvened meeting of stockholders in the event a meeting of stockholders is adjourned.

 

The Bylaws also include certain technical, modernizing and clarifying changes, including updates to provisions relating to virtual meetings to align with changes to the Maryland General Corporation Law.

 

The foregoing description of the Seventh Amended and Restated Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bylaws, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
