ITEM 3.03 Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.
On March 7, 2018, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Panhandle Oil and Gas Inc. (the “Company”) adopted resolutions approving an amendment and restatement of the Company’s bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to effect a change in Section 1.15 of the Bylaws (“Section 1.15”) titled
Consent of Shareholders in Lieu of Meeting
to allow shareholders to take action without a meeting provided such action is approved by written consent signed by the holders of at least seventy-five (75%) of all outstanding stock entitled to vote on the action.
The previous version of Section 1.15 provided that (i) to the extent that Section 1073(B) of the Oklahoma General Corporation Act (“Section 1073(B)”) applied to the Company, shareholder action by written consent must be signed by the holders of all outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, and (ii) to the extent that Section 1073(B) ceases to apply to the Company, shareholder action by written consent must be signed by the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. Section 1073(B) was repealed by the State of Oklahoma effective November 1, 2017.
The effective date of the amended and restated Bylaws is March 7, 2018.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amended and restated Bylaws attached hereto as Exhibit 3(ii) and incorporated by reference herein.

Section 5.01 of the Bylaws titled

was amended to require that the Company’s Common Stock certificates be signed by

|
•
|
A section titled
Loans
has been added to the Code of Ethics which states that loans by the Company to, or guarantees by the Company of obligations of, any director or executive officer, or their family members are expressly prohibited. Previously the Code of Ethics was silent regarding loans to, or obligations of directors and officers, and their family members.
|
|
•
|
The section titled
Confidential Company Information
has been amended to allow disclosure of confidential information only when disclosure is expressly authorized or required or permitted by applicable law. Previously the Code of Ethics was silent regarding the authorization to disclose confidential information when authorized or required or permitted by applicable law; the Code of Ethics only addressed the prohibition of the disclosure of confidential information as a whole.
