Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On May 21, 2015, the Board of Directors of Time Inc. (the Company) approved an amendment to the Companys Amended and Restated By-Laws, effective immediately, to delete the following provision from Article III, Section 2 thereof:
No person shall qualify for service as a director of the Corporation if he or she is a party to any compensatory, payment or other financial agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation, or has received any such compensation or other payment from any person or entity other than the Corporation, in each case in connection with candidacy or service as a director of the Corporation; provided that agreements providing only for indemnification and/or reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses in connection with candidacy as director (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with service as a director) and any pre-existing employment agreement a candidate has with his or her employer (not entered into in contemplation of the employers investment in the Corporation or such employees candidacy as a director) shall not be disqualifying under this Section 2; and provided, further, that agreements, arrangements, understandings, compensation or other payments in connection with candidacy or service as a director of the Corporation shall not be disqualifying under this Section 2 if the Board in its discretion makes an affirmative determination that the director satisfies applicable regulatory and stock exchange listing requirements to be an independent director of the Corporation and that the director is free of any other relationship (with the Company (as hereinafter defined in this Section 2) or any stockholder or otherwise) that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment by such director.
A copy of the Companys Amended and Restated By-Laws reflecting such amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.
