Summary
This 8-K filing from Corpay, Inc. (formerly FleetCor Technologies, Inc.) reports on a significant change to its corporate governance, specifically concerning the amendment of its bylaws and certificate of incorporation. The Board of Directors has approved an amendment to the company's bylaws to align their amendment threshold with the certificate of incorporation. More importantly, the Board has also approved a resolution to amend the certificate of incorporation to lower the voting threshold required for future bylaw amendments from a supermajority (66 2/3%) to a simple majority of the outstanding capital stock. This proposed change to the certificate of incorporation will be presented to shareholders for approval at the upcoming 2018 annual meeting. If approved, it will simplify the process for future bylaw amendments. Investors should monitor the outcome of the shareholder vote, as a lower voting threshold could potentially lead to more frequent or easier changes to the company's governance structure in the future.
