EXHIBIT INDEX
Exhibit 4.1 Amendment No. 3 to Rights Agreement
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
See Item 3.03 below.
Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders
On December 9, 2016, Belden Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
Company), entered into an amendment (Amendment No. 3) to the
Companys existing Rights Agreement dated as of December 11, 1996,
and as amended on November 15, 2004, and December 8, 2006 (the
Rights Agreement), between the Company and American Stock
Transfer Trust Company, LLC, successor to Computershare Trust
Company, N.A., and prior to that The First National Bank of
Boston (the Rights Agent).
Amendment No. 3 extends the expiration date of the Rights
Agreement for an additional three years to December 10, 2019,
and, because it would be coextensive with the new expiration
date, eliminates the Three Year Independent Director Evaluation
(TIDE) provision previously contained in the Rights Agreement.
In addition, Amendment No. 3 reestablishes the Purchase Price per
one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock at $325.00,
subject to adjustment.
A copy of Amendment No. 3, Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report, is
incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of
Amendment No. 3 is qualified in its entirety by reference to
Amendment No. 3.
