Classification of Board Sample Clauses

Classification of Board. Subject to the rights of any holders of any series of Preferred Stock that may be issued by the Corporation pursuant to a resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors providing for such issuance, the directors of the Corporation shall be divided into three classes with respect to the term of office, each class to contain, as near as may be possible, one-third of the whole number of the Board, with the terms of office of one class expiring each successive year. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that time shall be elected by the stockholders to serve until the annual meeting of stockholders held three years next following and until their successors shall be elected and qualified. In the event of any intervening changes in the authorized number of directors, the Board of Directors shall designate the class or classes to which the increases or decreases in directorships shall be apportioned and may designate one or more directorships as directorships of another class in order more nearly to achieve equality of number of directors among the classes; provided, however, that no such apportionment or redesignation shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. Unless and to the extent that the By-laws so provide, elections of directors need not be by written ballot.
