Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation
Effective as of December 10, 2021, Block, Inc. (formerly known as Square, Inc.) (the “Company”) filed a certificate of amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Amended Certificate of Incorporation”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware changing the name of the corporation from “Square, Inc.” to “Block, Inc.” (the “Name Change”), and to reflect a change to the Company’s registered agent.
Second Amended and Restated Bylaws
Additionally, effective as of December 10, 2021, the Company adopted certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws” and as amended, the “Second Amended Bylaws”) to reflect the Name Change and include a federal forum selection provision for claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In particular, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any cause of action arising under the Securities Act. The Company also updated its existing Delaware forum selection provision to provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for certain corporate law related claims unless it does not have jurisdiction, then another state or federal court in the State of Delaware shall be the forum. The Company’s Bylaws previously provided that the exclusive forum for such corporate law matters would be a state court located in the State of Delaware. In addition, the Company made certain changes primarily to conform to updates in Delaware law.
The descriptions of the Amended Certificate of Incorporation and the Second Amended Bylaws contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete texts of the Amended Certificate of Incorporation and the Second Amended Bylaws, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
