Item 8.01    Other Events.
On February 23, 2016, the Board of Directors of GameStop Corp. (the “Company”) adopted resolutions setting forth an amendment (the “Proposed Amendment”) to paragraph (c) of Article FIFTH of the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”), consistent with Section 141(k) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, to remove the words “for cause” and change the voting standard, so that any director, or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed from office, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares then entitled to vote generally in an election of directors. The Board of Directors further declared the advisability of the Proposed Amendment and directed that the Proposed Amendment be considered at the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders.
The Proposed Amendment will not become effective until approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors at the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders, voting together as a single class. However, in light of a recent ruling by the Delaware Chancery Court, the Company will not attempt to enforce the foregoing “only for-cause” director removal provision effective as of February 23, 2016.
