SECTION 1.01 Establishment and Terms. 

There is hereby established a new series of Securities to be issued under the Indenture, to be designated as the Company’s 2.920% Senior
Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”). 
 The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this
Indenture is unlimited. The Notes that are to be authenticated and delivered on the date hereof (the “Initial Notes”) will be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000. The Notes shall be issued in fully registered form. 

With respect to any additional Notes (the “Additional Notes”), the Company elects to issue under this Indenture, the Company shall
set forth in an Officers’ Certificate the following information: 
 (i) the aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes to be
authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; and 
 (ii) the issue price and the issue date of such Additional Notes, including
the date from which interest shall accrue. 
 For purposes of the Indenture, notes will not be deemed to be Additional Notes unless the
maturity date, Interest Payment Dates, record dates and interest rate are identical to the Initial Notes. 
 The Initial Notes and any
Additional Notes shall be considered collectively as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture. Holders of the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes will vote and consent together on all matters to which such Holders are entitled to vote or
consent as one class, and none of the Holders of the Initial Notes or any Additional Notes shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent. 

The Notes shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities in substantially the form set out in Exhibit A. The initial
Depositary with respect to the Notes shall be The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). 
 SECTION 1.02 Maturity, Payment of
Principal and Interest. 
 The Notes will mature on March 1, 2030. 

The Notes will bear interest at the rate of 2.920% per annum. The Interest Payment Dates with respect to the Notes will be March 1 and
September 1 of each year. The first Interest Payment Date with respect to the Initial Notes will be September 1, 2020. Interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name the applicable Note is registered at the close of business on
February 15, in the case of a March 1 Interest Payment Date, and August 15, in the case of a September 1 Interest Payment Date. Interest on the Initial Notes will accrue from March 3, 2020. Interest will be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 All payments of principal, premium (if any) and interest on the Notes shall be made in
accordance with Section 4.01 of the Original Indenture and in the manner set forth in Section 2.14 of the Original Indenture and Exhibit A hereto. 

SECTION 1.03 No Sinking Fund or Payments of Additional Amounts. 

The Notes will not be subject to a sinking fund and no payments of Additional Amounts shall be made on the Notes. 

SECTION 1.04 Optional Redemption. 

At any time and from time to time before December 1, 2029 (the “Par Call Date”), the Notes will be redeemable, in the
Company’s sole discretion, in whole or in part, in principal amounts of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof for an amount equal to the greater of: 

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed; and 

(ii) as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes,
discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points. 

At any time and from time to time on or after the Par Call Date, the Notes will be redeemable, in the Company’s sole discretion, in whole
or in part, in principal amounts of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof for an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed. 

Subject to the terms of the Original Indenture, the Company will also pay accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption on the Notes
redeemed. 
 In the event of any redemption described in this Section 1.04, interest will accrue up to the date of redemption. Unless
there is a default in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 

Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date, to the Trustee and to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed, at the address of such Holder appearing in the register of Securities maintained by the Registrar. 

  
 3 

 The following defined terms used solely for purposes of this Section 1.04 shall, unless
the context otherwise requires, have the meanings specified below for purposes of the Notes. 
 “Treasury Rate” means the rate per
year, calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date, equal to (i) the yield, under the heading that represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release
designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication that is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant
maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue; provided that if no maturity is within three months before or after the Par Call Date for the Notes being
redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis rounding to the
nearest month; or (ii) if that release, or any successor release, is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the
Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that Redemption Date. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker that would be
used, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the Par Call Date of the Notes. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that Redemption Date, after
excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company obtains fewer than three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received. 

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the Company appoints. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (and its successors), Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (and its
successors), HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. (and its successors), Mizuho Securities USA LLC (and its successors) and any other nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a primary U.S. Government securities dealer specified from time to time
by the Company. If, however, any of them shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City, the Company will substitute another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is such a dealer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average,
as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer as of 3:30 p.m., New York
time, on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date. 

  
 4 

 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of the
principal of and interest on each Note to be redeemed that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption if such Notes matured on the Par Call Date. If the Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to the
Note being redeemed, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Note being redeemed will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to that Redemption Date. 

SECTION 1.05 Denominations. 

The Notes shall be issued only in fully registered book-entry form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof.

HALLIBURTON COMPANY 
 2.920% SENIOR
NOTES DUE 2030 
 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of 2.920% Senior Notes Due 2030 (the “Securities”) of
Halliburton Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The Issuer issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of October 17, 2003 (the “Original Indenture”) between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust
Company, N.A. (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Ninth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 3, 2020 (the “Ninth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the
Original Indenture, the “Indenture”). Capitalized terms used herein for which no definition is provided herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture. 

1. Interest. The Issuer promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at 2.920% per annum from March 3, 2020
until maturity. The Issuer will pay interest semiannually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent
Interest Payment Date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from March 3, 2020; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated between a record date
referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be September 1, 2020. Interest
will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

2. Method of Payment. The Issuer will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered
Holders of Securities at the close of business on the record date next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this
Security to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer will pay the principal of and interest on the Securities in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts. Such amounts shall be payable at the offices of the Trustee or any Paying Agent, provided that at the option of the Issuer, the Issuer may pay such amounts (1) by wire transfer with respect to Securities represented by a Global Note or
(2) by check payable in such money mailed to a Holder’s registered address with respect to any Security. 
 3. Paying Agent and
Registrar. Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or additional paying agent without notice to any Holder. The Issuer
or any of the Issuer’s subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 
 4. Indenture. The terms of the Securities include those
stated in the Indenture and the provisions made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of the Ninth Supplemental
Indenture; provided, that if any provision of the Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by operation of TIA Section 318(c), the imposed duties shall control. Holders are

  
 A-5 

 
referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and provisions. The Securities are unsecured senior obligations of the Issuer and rank equally with all of the Issuer’s
existing and future unsecured indebtedness. The Indenture provides for the issuance of other series of debt securities thereunder. 
 5.
Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be
exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.
The Registrar need not exchange or register the transfer of any Securities during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date. 

6. Optional Redemption. No sinking fund is provided for the Securities. At any time and from time to time before
December 1, 2029, the Securities will be redeemable, in the Issuer’s sole discretion, in whole or in part, in principal amounts of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof for an amount equal to the greater of: 

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed; and 

(ii) as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Securities,
discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points. 

At any time and from time to time on or after December 1, 2029, the Securities will be redeemable, in the Issuer’s sole discretion,
in whole or in part, in principal amounts of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof for an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed. 

In the event of any such redemption, interest will accrue up to the date of redemption. Unless there is a default in payment of the redemption
amount, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions thereof called for redemption. 

Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date, to the Trustee and to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at the address of such Holder appearing in the register of Securities maintained by the Registrar. 

7. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as its owner for all purposes. 

8. Amendments and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or
supplemented by the Issuer and the Trustee with the written consent (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer or a solicitation of consents, provided that in each case such offer or solicitation is made to all
Holders of then outstanding Securities) of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities affected by such amendment or supplement (provided that if such 

  
 A-6 

 
amendment or supplement affects holders of securities of other series issued under the Original Indenture, the Holders of the Securities and such other series of securities shall act as one
class), and any existing or past Default or Event of Default under, or compliance with any provision of, the Indenture may be waived (other than any continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium (if any) or
interest on the Securities or a continued Default in respect of a provision that cannot be amended or supplemented without the consent of each Holder of the Securities affected) by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities (or of all series of securities issued under the Original Indenture acting as one class in the case of a Default or Event of Default with respect to all such series, as the case may be) in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture. The Issuer and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities or waive any provision of either without the consent of the Holders, to: 

(1) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; 

(2) evidence the assumption by a Successor of the Issuer’s obligations under the Indenture and the Securities; 

(3) provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities or to provide for the issuance
of bearer securities (with or without coupons);

additional obligors on, the Securities; 
 (5) comply with any requirement in order to effect or maintain the qualification
of the Indenture under the TIA; 
 (6) add to the covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities,
or to surrender any right or power conferred by the Indenture upon the Issuer; 
 (7) add any additional Events of Default
with respect to the Securities; 
 (8) change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture, provided that any
such change or elimination shall become effective only when there are no outstanding Securities that are adversely affected in any material respect by such changes in or elimination of such provisions; 

(9) supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the
defeasance and discharge of the Securities pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Original Indenture, provided, however, that any such action shall not adversely affect the interest of the Holders of the Securities or the holders of any other
series of securities issued under the Original Indenture in any material respect; 
 (10) evidence and provide for the
acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts thereunder
by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.08 of the Original Indenture; or 

  
 A-7 

 (11) make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any
Holder of Securities. 
 The right of any Holder to participate in any consent required or sought pursuant to any provision of the Indenture
(and the obligation of the Issuer to obtain any such consent otherwise required from such Holder) may be subject to the requirement that such Holder shall have been the Holder of record of Securities with respect to which such consent is required or
sought as of a date fixed in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. 
 Without the consent of each Holder affected, the Issuer may not:

 (1) reduce the amount of securities issued under the Original Indenture (including the Securities) whose Holders must
consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (2) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest,
including default interest, on any Security; 
 (3) reduce the principal of or any premium on or any mandatory sinking fund
payment with respect to, or change the Stated Maturity of, any Security;

redemption of any Security or change the time at which any Security may or shall be redeemed; 
 (5) change the coin or
currency or currencies (including composite currencies) in which any Security or any premium or interest with respect thereto are payable;

Security pursuant to Sections 6.07 and 6.08 of the Original Indenture, except as limited by Section 6.06 of the Original Indenture; 

(7) make any change in the percentage of principal amount of Securities necessary to waive compliance with certain provisions
of the Indenture pursuant to Section 6.04 or 6.07 of the Original Indenture or make any change in the fifth paragraph of Section 9.02 of the Original Indenture; or 

(8) waive a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on the
Securities. 
 A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of the Indenture which has expressly been
included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of securities issued under the Original Indenture (including the Securities), or which modifies the rights of the holders of securities of such series of securities issued under the
Original Indenture (including the Securities) with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under the Indenture of the holders of the securities of any other series. 

  
 A-8

 (1) default by the Issuer in the payment of interest on the Securities when

payment of principal of the Securities at their Stated Maturity or premium (if any) on the Securities when the same becomes due and payable; 

(3) default by the Issuer in its compliance with any of its other covenants or agreements in, or provisions of, the Securities

rescinded within 30 days after notice to the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the Indebtedness; and 
 (5) certain
events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Issuer. 
 The Trustee shall not be deemed to know or have notice of
any Default or Event of Default unless a Trust Officer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee receives written notice at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee of such Default or Event of Default with specific reference to such Default or
Event of Default. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Securities affected by such Event of Default (or, in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (3) above, if outstanding securities of other series of securities issued under the Original Indenture are
affected by such Event of Default, then at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding securities of all series (including the Securities) so affected), may declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all then outstanding
Securities or securities of all such series, as the case may be, to be immediately due and payable, except that in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Issuer, all
outstanding Securities become due and payable immediately without further action or notice by the Trustee or any Holder. The amount due and payable upon the acceleration of any Security is equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued
and unpaid interest to the date of payment. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities. Subject
to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or may direct the Trustee in
its exercise of any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is
in their interests. The Issuer must furnish an annual compliance certificate to the Trustee.

Exhibit 4.3

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following description of the terms of the common stock of Fox Factory Holding Corp. (“FOX”) is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws” and together with the Certificate of Incorporation, our “Charter Documents”), both of which are exhibits to our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. 
Our authorized capital stock consists of 90,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share. The common stock of FOX is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “FOXF.” 
Dividend rights
Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available if our board of directors, in its discretion, subject to applicable law, determines to issue dividends and then only at the times and in the amounts that our board of directors may determine.
Voting rights
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. We have not provided for cumulative voting for the election of directors in our Certificate of Incorporation. Our Certificate of Incorporation establishes a classified board of directors that is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Only the directors in one class are subject to election at each annual meeting of our stockholders, with the directors in the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms.
No preemptive or similar rights
Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights, and is not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions.
Right to receive liquidation distributions
If we become subject to a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders would be distributable ratably among the holders of our common stock and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the preferential rights of and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock.
Preferred stock
Our board of directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions, in each case, without further vote or action by our stockholders. Our board of directors can also increase or decrease the number of shares of any series of preferred stock, but not above the total number of authorized shares of a series or below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock.
Options
As of January 3, 2020, we had outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 431,178 shares of our common stock, with a weighted average exercise price of $5.27, pursuant to our 2008 Stock Option Plan and our 2008 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan. Of these options, the options to purchase an aggregate of 431,178 shares of our common stock were exercisable as of January 3, 2020.

Restricted Stock Units
As of January 3, 2020, we had 426,872 shares of common stock issuable upon vesting of restricted stock units granted to our directors, officers and other employees pursuant to our 2013 Omnibus Plan.
Anti-Takeover Effects
The provisions of our Charter Documents, which are summarized below, may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or discouraging another person from acquiring control of our company. These provisions are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of our company to first negotiate with our board of directors. However, these provisions could have the effect of delaying, discouraging or preventing attempts to acquire us, which could deprive our stockholders of opportunities to sell their securities at prices higher than prevailing market prices.
Our Charter Documents include a number of provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes relating to the control of our board of directors or management team, including the following:
•Board of directors vacancies. Our Charter Documents authorize only our board of directors to fill vacant directorships, including newly created seats. In addition, the number of directors constituting our board of directors is permitted to be set only by a resolution adopted by a majority vote of our entire board of directors. These provisions prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and then gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. This makes it more difficult to change the composition of our board of directors and promotes continuity of management.
•Classified board. Our Charter Documents provide that our board of directors is classified into three classes of directors. A third party may be discouraged from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us as it is more difficult and time consuming for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors on a classified board of directors.
•Advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provides advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions might preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders if the proper procedures are not followed. We expect that these provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.
•No cumulative voting. The Delaware General Corporate Law provides that stockholders may cumulate votes in the election of directors if the corporation’s certificate of incorporation allows for such mechanism. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not permit cumulative voting.
•Directors removed only for cause. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that stockholders may remove directors only for cause.
•Issuance of undesignated preferred stock. Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by our board of directors. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock would enable our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, or other means.
•Amendment of Charter Document provisions. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation currently requires any amendment or repeal of the above provisions in our Charter Documents, with the exception of the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock and designate any rights, powers and preferences thereto, will require approval by holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.
