Item 2.02.
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 25, 2014, the Registrants announced their financial results for the full year 2013. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03.
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On February 24, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Realogy Holdings Corp. (the "Company") approved the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws for the Company (the “Bylaws”) effective immediately. The Board amended Section 2.9 of the Bylaws to change the standard for the election of directors in uncontested elections from a plurality voting standard to a majority voting standard. A plurality voting standard will continue to apply in the event of a contested director election. In connection with the amendment to the Bylaws, the Board also adopted a Director Resignation Policy, which provides that an incumbent director who does not receive the requisite majority of the votes cast for his or her election in an uncontested election shall tender his or her resignation to the Board. Pursuant to the Director Resignation Policy, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will then recommend to the Board, and the Board will decide, the action to be taken with respect to the tendered resignation. In making its decision, the Board may consider any information, factors and alternatives it considers relevant. The Board will act on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee within 90 days following the date of the stockholders’ meeting at which the election of the director occurred.
The foregoing description of the changes to the Company's Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Bylaws, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
Item 8.01.
Other Events.
On February 24, 2014, the Board approved two proposed amendments (collectively, the "Charter Amendments") to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) to eliminate the classification of the Board (the "Declassification Amendment") and (ii) to eliminate various provisions related to Apollo Management V, L.P., Apollo Management VI, L.P., Apollo Management VII, L.P. and their affiliates (the "Apollo Amendment"), respectively.  Each of the proposed Charter Amendments is subject to stockholder approval at the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders. If the Declassification Amendment is approved, commencing with the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders, the directors will be elected annually for terms expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting, and those directors elected prior to 2015 will serve out the remainder of their three-year term. Commencing with the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, the classification of the Board shall terminate. If the Apollo Amendment is approved, certain provisions that refer to Apollo or its ownership of the Company's common stock will be eliminated.
On February 24, 2014, the Board also approved resolutions to amend the Bylaws to make corresponding changes to declassify the Board, contingent upon stockholder approval and implementation of the Charter Amendment.
