•clarify the power of the Board to postpone any meeting of stockholders;

•clarify the powers of the Board and the chair of a stockholder meeting to establish rules for the conduct of any meeting of stockholders;

•establish that special meetings of the Board may be called by a majority of the Board (rather than by any single director); and

•make certain administrative, modernizing and clarifying changes, including making updates to reflect recent amendments to the Delaware General Corporation Law and adopting gender-neutral terms when referring to particular positions, offices or title holders, such as the adoption of the title of “Chairperson” in place of “Chairman”.
