Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Intellicheck, Inc. adopted Second Amended and Restated Bylaws effective July 17, 2026, following a comprehensive overhaul of bylaws last updated in August 2007. The changes modernize governance to align with Delaware General Corporation Law, including electronic communications, remote stockholder meetings, and electronic records.

Key updates address how and by whom annual and special meetings are called, quorum definitions, and voting standards, moving to a majority of the votes cast standard for most matters and director elections (with plurality voting when nominees exceed open seats). The bylaws add advance notice requirements for stockholder nominations and other business, implement provisions related to the SEC’s universal proxy rules, remove a prior clause allowing directors to remove other directors for cause, give the Board sole authority to fill vacancies (subject to law and the charter), and codify indemnification and advancement protections for directors and officers.

Filing Explained

The operative bylaws let the board change annual-meeting timing and restrict special-meeting calls to the CEO or board.

On July 17, 2026, Intellicheck’s board approved amended and restated bylaws effective immediately. The revised rules therefore govern the company’s meetings and board administration now, including a quorum threshold requiring holders of a majority of the voting power of outstanding shares entitled to vote to be present in person or by proxy.

Special meetings may be called only by the chief executive officer or the board, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. The board may also postpone, reschedule, adjourn, or cancel an annual meeting before it occurs, changing who controls these meeting-timing decisions.

The amendment removes the prior requirement that the board contain between five and nine directors and removes the prior provision purporting to let directors remove other directors for cause. The filing says its description is incomplete and qualified; Exhibit 3.1 contains the full operative bylaws.
