Item 5.02 |

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers |
On February 13, 2008, the shareholders of Plexus Corp. (the Company) approved the Plexus
Corp. 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2008 Long-Term Plan) at the 2008 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders. The 2008 Long-Term Plan is designed to provide a means to attract and retain
talented personnel and to provide to participating directors, officers and other key employees
long-term incentives for high levels of performance and for successful efforts to improve the
financial performance of the Company. These purposes may be achieved under the 2008 Long-Term Plan
through the grants of Options to purchase the Companys Common Stock, Stock Appreciation Rights,
Restricted Stock (including restricted stock shares or restricted stock units), Performance Stock
Awards and Cash Bonus Awards.
The full text of the 2008 Long-Term Plan is included as Appendix A to the Companys Definitive
Proxy Statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on December
17, 2007, and is incorporated herein by reference.
|
|
|
Item 5.03. |
|
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On February 13, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company amended and restated the Companys
bylaws (the Bylaws). The new Bylaws reflect a complete update and revision. A summary of the
key changes included in the Bylaws is listed below:
|
|
|
Section 2.02 was amended to require shareholders seeking to call a special meeting
of shareholders to follow certain procedural requirements. These procedural
requirements are designed to insure that (i) only shareholders who are eligible to call
a special meeting under Wisconsin law are permitted to do so and (ii) the Company is
provided with adequate advance notice of any special meeting. |
|
|
|
Section 2.07(b) now contains provisions allowing shareholder meetings to be
adjourned or postponed by the Board of Directors or the Chairman. These provisions
would allow for adjournments and postponements when such actions are deemed in the best
interests of shareholders. |
|
|
|
Section 2.08 was amended to include provisions specifically authorizing the Board of
Directors or designated officers to adopt rules and procedures for the conduct of
shareholders meetings. |
|
|
|
Section 2.13 was added to modify the advance notice requirements for shareholders
seeking to bring matters before or nominate director candidates at an annual or special
meeting of shareholders. These provisions are intended to help assure that the Company
and shareholders are provided with adequate notice of issues that may be raised at a
shareholders meeting. |
|
|
|
Thus, under the new Bylaws, for the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, any proposal
for action, or nomination to the Board of Directors, proposed other than by the Board of
Directors must be received by the Company in writing, together with specified
accompanying information, between October 6, 2008, and November 2, |
2
|
|
|
2008. This new deadline replaces the former December 4, 2008 requirement, as set forth
in the Companys Definitive Proxy Statement, which was first made available to
shareholders on December 17, 2007. |
|
|
|
Section 3.01 now eliminates the minimum number of directors; however, the maximum
number of directors authorized by the Bylaws remains at nine. The precise number of
directors will continue to be set by the Board of Directors. |
|
|
|
Section 3.02 was amended to provide that directors may only be removed by the
shareholders for cause, unless a majority of the directors vote to allow removal
without cause. |
|
|
|
The amended Bylaws reflect certain recent changes to Wisconsin law, including the
relaxation of the limitations imposed on the delegation of authority to Board
committees, as set forth in amended Section 3.12. |
|
|
|
Articles III and IV retain the existing provisions regarding director retirement and
the role and responsibilities of the officers, with one exception being that the
amended Bylaws do not specifically identify the Treasurer or the Chief Operating
Officer as corporate officers, to permit further flexibility in the designation of
officers. |
|
|
|
Article VIII of the amended Bylaws has been modified strengthen those provisions,
including the addition of presumptions relating to the eligibility for indemnification. |
The full text of the Companys Bylaws, as amended and restated, is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to
this Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference. For further reference, Exhibit
99.1 is a copy of the Bylaws marked to show changes from the Companys Bylaws as last amended on
