Exhibit 3.1
CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
OF
RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
APOLLO MEDICAL HOLDINGS, INC.
Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), does hereby certify as follows:
FIRST: The name of the Corporation is Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. This Certificate of Amendment amends the Corporation’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed on January 16, 2015, and amended on April 24, 2015, October 16, 2015 and March 28, 2016.
SECOND: That Article XIII of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of this Corporation is hereby amended by appending the following to Article XIII:
“The Board of Directors shall be divided into three (3) classes, Class I, Class II and Class III. The Board of Directors is authorized to assign members of the Board of Directors already in office to Class I, Class II or Class III. Each director shall serve for a term expiring at the third annual meeting following his or her election; provided, that, with respect to the directors serving in the inaugural classes of Class I, Class II and Class III, the terms of the directors serving in Class I shall expire at the Corporation’s first annual meeting of stockholders held after the effectiveness of the division of the Board of Directors into three (3) classes; the terms of the directors serving in Class II shall expire at the Corporation’s second annual meeting of stockholders held after such effectiveness; and the terms of the directors serving in Class III shall expire at the Corporation’s third annual meeting of stockholders held after such effectiveness. Each director shall serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her death, resignation or removal.
Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause shall, unless otherwise required by law or by resolution of the Board of Directors, be filled only by a majority vote of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum (and not by the stockholders), and directors so chosen shall serve for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of office of the class to which they have been elected expires or until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of authorized directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any director, or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors, voting together as a single class.”
THIRD: This Certificate of Amendment has been duly adopted by the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Corporation in accordance with Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Amendment to be signed by its Chief Executive Officer on this 8th day of December, 2017.
