Item 5.03. | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On May 22, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Ozop Surgical Corp. a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) amended and restated the Company’s Bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”), effective immediately, in accordance with the amendments to the Bylaws approved at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders which took place on April 26, 2019 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The Bylaws include the following amendments which were approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting:
Amendment to Article III Section 2 of Bylaws
Article III Section 2 of the Company’s Bylaws has been amended to remove the requirement therein that the annual meeting is required to be held within 120 days of the FYE.
As previously written, Article III Section 2 of the Bylaws provided “Annual Meetings. The Annual Meeting of stockholders of the Corporation for the election of Directors and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before said meeting shall be held at the principal business office of the Corporation or at such other place or places either within or without the State of Nevada as may be designated by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting, on a date not later than 120 days following the close of the fiscal year of the Corporation as designated by the Board of Directors.”
Currently Article III Section 2 states as follows: “Annual Meetings. The Annual Meeting of stockholders of the Corporation for the election of Directors and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before said meeting shall be held at the principal business office of the Corporation or at such other place or places either within or without the State of Nevada as may be designated by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting, as designated by the Board of Directors.”
Amendment to Article VII Section 3 of Bylaws
Article VII Section 3 of the Company’s Bylaws has been amended to change the Fiscal Year End (“FYE”) in the Company’s Bylaws from 2/29 to 12/31 to accurately reflect the FYE of the Company.
As previously written Article VII Section 3 of the Bylaw’s provided “Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall end on February 29.”
Currently Article VII Section 3 states as follows: “Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall end on December 31 of each year.”
Amendment to Article VIII of Bylaws
Article VIII of the Company’s Bylaws has been amended to allow solely the Board to amend the Bylaws without any stockholder approval being required.
As previously written, Article VIII of the Bylaws provided “Amendments. These Bylaws may be adopted, altered, amended or repealed or new Bylaws may be adopted by the stockholders, or by the Board of Directors by the Articles of Incorporation, at any regular meeting of the stockholders or of the Board of Directors or at any special meeting of the stockholders or of the Board of Directors if notice of such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of new Bylaws be contained in the notice of such special meeting. If the power to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws is conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Articles of Incorporation it shall not divest or limit the power of the stockholders to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws.”
Currently, Article VIII of the Bylaws states as follows: “Amendments. These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed or new Bylaws may be adopted by the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors.”
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the Bylaws which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

(a) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was, or is threatened to be made, a party to a proceeding (as hereinafter defined) by reason of the fact that he or she (i) is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or (ii) while a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or similar functionary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, to the fullest extent permitted under the Revised Statutes of the State of Nevada, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Such right shall be a contract right and as such shall run to the benefit of any director or officer who is elected and accepts the position of director or officer of the Corporation or elects to continue to serve as a director or officer of the Corporation while this Article VII is in effect. The rights conferred above shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, bylaw, resolution of stockholders or directors, agreement or otherwise.

Any repeal or amendment of this Article VII by the shareholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director or officer of the Corporation arising from an act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or amendment. In addition to the circumstances in which a director or officer of the Corporation is not personally liable as set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Article VII, a director or officer shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders to such further extent as permitted by any law hereafter enacted, including, without limitation, any subsequent amendment to the Revised Statutes of the State of Nevada.
