Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On May 11, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved amendments to Article VIII of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (as amended, the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”) to include changes to permit the use of electronic board consents as allowable under the Indiana Business Corporation Law and Indiana Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

A copy of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company as currently in effect with all amendments is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The Company held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on May 11, 2023. At the Annual Meeting, all director nominees were elected. Proposals 2 and 4 were approved. A majority of the votes cast on Proposal 3 were in favor of a one-year frequency for future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. The Board has elected to hold future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers on an annual basis. Proposal 5 did not receive a majority of the votes cast and therefore was not approved. The proposals below are described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed on March 31, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”) for the Annual Meeting. The final results were as follows:

PROPOSAL 1 – Election of six directors until the next annual meeting of shareholders:
