Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 3, 2020, the Board adopted an amended form
of Indemnification Agreement for officers and directors. The new form provides for broader, more explicit indemnification obligations.
Specifically, the new form includes indemnification for third-party proceedings, derivative actions, and direct actions by the
Company. The new form sets forth explicit exceptions to the Company’s indemnification obligations and tracks the legal standard
permitted under Delaware law to limit such indemnification. The new form provides a more detailed process for the Company to advance
legal fees to indemnitees and clarifies and broadens the scope of proceedings for which indemnitee is entitled to receive advancement.
The new form includes more robust written procedures for payment of indemnification amounts and sets out a procedure to determine
whether an indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, including in cases involving a significant corporate transaction that results
in a change of control. It also adds a provision requiring the Company to maintain a D&O insurance policy.
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On September 8, 2020, the Registrant issued a press release
to report results for the fiscal quarter and year ended June 30, 2020. This press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
The information in Exhibit 99.1 is furnished pursuant to
Item 2.02 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.
A further description of the foregoing is contained in the
press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 5.02. Departure of Certain Directors or Certain
Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On September 3, 2020, the Board of Directors, upon the recommendation
of the Nominating Committee, appointed Rick Lazio to the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Lazio’s appointment fills
a vacancy on the Board resulting from the previously reported resignation of Randy Blaustein. Mr. Lazio was appointed to serve
for a term ending at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders following the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2021. Mr. Lazio
was also appointed to serve on the Nominating and Compensation Committees of the Company’s Board. Mr. Lazio has not engaged
in any transaction with the Company that would be reportable pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Item 5.03. Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or
Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On September 3, 2020, the Board adopted our Second Amended
and Restated By-laws effective September 3, 2020. The following summarizes significant changes to the bylaws which had been in
effect since 1999:
• We added a “forum selection clause”
to require stockholder’s derivative lawsuits be brought in the State of Delaware.
• We revised the annual meeting and board meeting
provisions to provide more flexibility, including holding such meetings via remote communications (such as virtual annual meetings).
• We updated and modernized the advance notice provision
for stockholder meetings. Specifically, the changes bifurcate the advance notice procedures for nomination of directors and other
stockholder proposals and impose additional requirements, including (i) narrower time frame for stockholders to submit nomination
and proposals; (ii) more disclosures regarding beneficial ownership of shares and conflict of interest; and (iii) more detailed
information on the proposed nominee for director.
• We added a provision imposing additional restrictions
on stockholders who intend to submit a shareholder proposal at the annual meeting and special meeting, including more comprehensive
and robust information about the identities of stockholders and more consistent with proxy rules under the Exchange Act
• We added “Chief Executive Officer”
as one of the officers to be designated by the Board.
1
• We clarified and provided that stockholder actions
cannot be taken by written consent and must be taken pursuant to a meeting of stockholders.
• We added a provision to clarify the Company’s
ability to issue uncertificated shares instead of physical share certificate.
• We modernized and updated the indemnification
provision to provide, among other things, (i) more flexibility for the company to indemnify persons for a wider scope of legal
proceedings; (ii) more detailed procedure for advancement of legal fees; and (iii) clarification of legal standard for indemnification
and exceptions and limitations to indemnified claims.
A full copy of the new bylaws is furnished as Exhibit 10.3.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
The appointment of Mr. Lazio, as an independent director,
brings the Company back into compliance with the NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605. As previously reported, NASDAQ gave the Company until
the earlier of the Company’s next annual meeting of shareholders or July 26, 2021; or if the next annual meeting of shareholders
is held before January 26, 2021 then January 26, 2021 to regain compliance with such Rule. A majority of the Company’s directors
are now independent.
