MaxLinear, Inc. (NYSE:MXL) Files An 8-K Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

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

Approval of Amended and Restated Bylaws
On February 13, 2017, our board of directors adopted amended and
restated bylaws to implement a majority voting standard in
connection with the election of directors. The majority voting
standard will be effective for purposes of our 2017 annual
meeting of stockholders. As amended and restated, our bylaws now
require that a nominee for election to our board in an
uncontested election receive a majority of the votes cast in
order to be elected, provided that>our bylaws retain a
plurality voting standard (the default standard under Delaware
law) in contested director elections in which there are more
candidates than available seats.
Under our amended and restated bylaws and corporate governance
principles, our directors are expected to tender a contingent
resignation upon their nomination for re-election to our board of
directors. This contingent resignation only takes effect if (i)
the director does not receive more for votes than against votes
at our annual meeting of stockholders and (ii) our board of
directors accepts the resignation. Prior to the boards
determination of whether to accept a resignation for a director
who did not receive more for votes than against votes, our
nominating and governance committee will recommend to the board
whether to accept or reject the resignation, or take other
action.
The foregoing description of the majority voting provisions of
our amended and restated bylaws is qualified in its entirety by
reference to our complete amended and restated bylaws, which are
filed herewith as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
