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

 

On January 26, 2017, the Board of Directors of Silicon Laboratories Inc. (the “Company”) approved and adopted the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Restated Bylaws”), effective immediately. The Restated Bylaws were adopted to add a provision providing that each director shall be elected by the vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to that director’s election at any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present; provided that if, as of the tenth day preceding the date the Company first transmits its notice of meeting for such meeting to the stockholders of the Company, or, at any time thereafter, the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast.

 

The foregoing description of the Restated Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Restated Bylaws, which is filed as Exhibit 3.2 hereto, and is incorporated into this report by reference.
