Added paragraphs (9)
Current report
Some provisions of our articles of incorporation, our bylaws and Washington law include terms and conditions that could discourage a takeover or other transactions that shareholders may consider favorable.
Current report
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire or attempt to acquire control of the Company, including:
Current report
•the right of our Board of Directors (the “Board”) to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the Board or the resignation, death, or removal of a director in certain circumstances;
Current report
•the right of our Board to establish the number of directors serving on our Board at any given time; and
Current report
•advance notice procedures that shareholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to our Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a shareholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.
Current report
In the past, in response to unsolicited offers to the Company, the Board has adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan, and may do so again if faced with similar circumstances inconsistent with the best interests of our shareholders. In addition, because we are incorporated in the State of Washington, we are governed by the provisions of Chapter 23B.19 of the Washington Business Corporation Act, which prohibits certain business combinations between us and certain significant shareholders unless specified conditions are met. These provisions in our articles of incorporation, our bylaws and Washington law may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of the Company, even if this change of control would benefit our shareholders.
Current report
Unsolicited acquisition proposals and attempts to acquire control of the Company could cause us to incur significant expense, disrupt our business, result in a proxy contest or litigation and impact our stock price.
Current report
We have been, and may continue to be, subject to unsolicited acquisition proposals, tender offers, or proxy contests to gain control of the Company, which could result in substantial costs to the Company and divert management’s and our Board’s attention and resources from our business. Such events could give rise to perceived uncertainties as to our future, adversely affect our relationships with our employees, clients or suppliers, and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel. We have been, and may continue to be, required to incur significant fees and other expenses in responding to these events, including for required regulatory responses and third-party advisors. We also may be subjected to shareholder litigation in connection with these events. Our stock price could be subject to significant fluctuations or otherwise be adversely affected by speculative market perceptions about these events, risks and uncertainties.
Current report
For example, we have received unsolicited proposals to buy all or a portion of the Company. After a careful review of these proposals, including consultation with the Company’s independent financial and legal advisors regarding the Company’s business strategy, historic, current and future valuation, and potential alternative opportunities, they have been unanimously rejected by our Board, as they failed to maximize value for, and were not in the best interests of, the Company’s shareholders.
