The affairs of the Company will cease to be governed by Nevada corporation laws and will become subject to Delaware corporation laws.
|
|
•
|
The resulting Delaware corporation (“BRT-Delaware”) will be the same entity as the Company currently incorporated in Nevada (“BRT-Nevada”) and will continue with all of the rights, privileges and powers of BRT-Nevada, will possess all of the properties of BRT-Nevada, will continue with all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of BRT-Nevada and will continue with the same officers and directors of BRT-Nevada immediately prior to the Reincorporation, as more fully described below.
|
|
•
|
When the Reincorporation becomes effective, each outstanding share of BRT-Nevada common stock will continue to be an outstanding share of common stock of the resulting Delaware corporation, BRT-Delaware, and each outstanding option, warrant or right to acquire shares of BRT-Nevada common stock will continue to be an option, warrant or right to acquire shares of common stock of the resulting Delaware corporation, BRT-Delaware.

·
|
The proposed governing documents of BRT-Delaware establish a classified board of directors. BRT-Nevada does not have a classified board of directors. See “Proposal 4: Approval of the Establishment of a Classified Board of Directors If and When the Company’s State of Incorporation is Changed from Nevada to Delaware, as Set Forth in Proposal 3” for a discussion of the anti-takeover implications of the establishment of a classified board.
|

|
|
·
|
The proposed governing documents of BRT-Delaware allow stockholders to remove directors only for cause and with the affirmative vote of holders of 75% of the Company’s voting power.

|
The proposed governing documents of BRT-Delaware allow the Board of Directors alone to fill any directorship vacancies. The governing documents of BRT-Nevada allow the Board of Directors or the stockholders to fill directorship vacancies.

|
·
|
The proposed governing documents of BRT-Delaware provide that any amendments to the Delaware bylaws and certain amendments to the Delaware certificate of incorporation must be approved by holders of 75% of the voting power of the Company.

Amendment of Charter
|
Nevada law requires the adoption of a resolution by the corporation’s board of directors followed by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power entitled to vote thereon to approve any amendment to the articles of incorporation. If any proposed amendment would adversely alter or change any preference or any relative or other right given to any class or series of outstanding shares, then the amendment must also be approved by the vote of the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of each class or series adversely affected by the amendment.
NRS 78.390
BRT-Nevada’s articles of incorporation and bylaws do not change this statutory rule.
|
Delaware law requires the adoption of a resolution by the corporation’s board of directors followed by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power entitled to vote thereon and the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class, unless a greater percentage vote is required by the certificate of incorporation. Further, Delaware law states that if an amendment would (i) increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of a class, (ii) increase or decrease the par value of shares of a class, or (iii) alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of a particular class or series of stock so as to affect them adversely, the class or series so affected shall be given the power to vote as a class notwithstanding the absence of any specifically enumerated power in the certificate of incorporation.
DGCL Section 242
The Delaware certificate of incorporation provides that certain sections of the certificate of incorporation require approval of 75% of the voting power of the corporation, including sections regarding the prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, the calling of special meetings, matters related to Board composition and voting, the ability of the Board to adopt or amend bylaws, the liability of directors and the process for amending the charter.
Article IX
|
|
Amendment of Bylaws
|
Nevada law provides that, unless otherwise prohibited by any bylaw adopted by the stockholders, the directors may adopt, amend or repeal any bylaw, including any bylaw adopted by the stockholders. The articles of incorporation may grant the authority to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws exclusively to the directors.
NRS 78.120
BRT-Nevada’s bylaws also provide that the stockholders of the corporation may amend or repeal the Company’s bylaws.
Article X
|
Delaware law provides that the power to adopt, amend, or repeal the bylaws of a corporation shall be vested in the stockholders entitled to vote, provided that the certificate of incorporation may confer such power on the board of directors, although the power vested in the stockholders is not divested or limited where the board of directors also has such power.
DGCL Section 109
The Delaware certificate of incorporation and bylaws state that the Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend, or repeal the bylaws, requiring the approval of a majority of the board. The statutory rule is also altered by requiring the affirmative vote of the stockholders of at least 75% of the voting power of the Company entitled to vote to adopt, amend, or repeal any provision of the bylaws.

Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, directors need not be stockholders.
NRS 78.115
BRT-Nevada’s bylaws provide that directors shall consist of one or more individuals as may be fixed from time to time by the board.
Article II, Section 1
|
Delaware law provides that the board of directors of a corporation shall consist of one or more members, each of whom shall be a natural person. The number of directors shall be fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the bylaws, unless the certificate of incorporation fixes the number of directors, in which case a change in the number of directors shall be made only by amendment of the certificate.
DGCL Section 141
The Delaware certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that the number of directors shall be fixed from time to time by the board.
Article VI (Charter)
and
Article III (Bylaws)
|
|
Classified Board
|
Nevada law permits a corporation to classify its board of directors. At least one-fourth of the total number of directors of a Nevada corporation must be elected annually.
NRS 78.330
BRT-Nevada’s articles of incorporation and bylaws do not change this statutory rule. BRT-Nevada does not have a classified board of directors.
|
Delaware law provides that the directors may, by the certificate of incorporation or by an initial bylaw, or by a bylaw adopted by a vote of the stockholders, be divided into one, two, or three classes; the term of each director in the first class expires at the first annual meeting held after such classification becomes effective; the term of each director in the second class expires one year thereafter; the term of each director in the third class expires two years thereafter; and at each annual election held after such classification becomes effective, directors shall be chosen for a full term, as the case may be, to succeed those whose terms expire.
DGCL Section 141
The Delaware certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that BRT-Delaware will have a classified board divided into three classes. The establishment of the classified board is the subject of Proposal 4 below. As a result of the classified board, and as further provided in Proposal 4 below, the term of 1 director will end at the first annual meeting following the creation of the classified board, the term of 1 director will end at the second annual meeting following the creation of the classified board and the term of 2 directors will end at the third annual meeting following the creation of the classified board. In each case, successors will be elected to serve three-year terms.

Article II, Section 3
|
Delaware law provides that all vacancies on the board of directors may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum, unless the certificate of incorporation or bylaws provides otherwise.
DGCL Section 223
The Delaware certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not change this statutory rule.
|
|
Removal of Directors
|
Nevada law provides that any director may be removed by the holders of not less than two-thirds of the voting power of a corporation’s issued and outstanding stock. A corporation’s articles of incorporation may require a greater vote for removal. If a corporation has cumulative voting, less than the entire board may not be removed from office at any one time except upon the vote of stockholders owning sufficient shares to prevent each director’s election to office at the time of removal. Nevada law does not distinguish between removal of directors with or without cause.
NRS 78.335
BRT-Nevada’s bylaws provide that any director may be removed with or without cause by a vote of the majority of stockholders at a special meeting called for that purpose.

DGCL Section 141
The Delaware certificate of incorporation provides that stockholders may only remove a director for cause on the affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least 75% of the voting power of the Company entitled to vote thereon.

A bylaw amendment adopted by stockholders which specifies the votes that shall be necessary for the election of directors shall not be further amended or repealed by the board.
DGCL Section 216

BRT-Nevada’s articles of incorporation and bylaws do not change this statutory rule.

NRS 78.360
BRT-Nevada’s articles of incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.
|

|
Nevada law provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another entity against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if the person: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 (“Directors and officers: Exercise of powers; performance of duties; presumptions and considerations; liability to corporation and stockholders”); or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. However, indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue, or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation.

With respect to actions by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit is brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

Business Combinations
|
Nevada law prohibits certain business combinations between a Nevada corporation and an interested stockholder for two years after such person becomes an interested stockholder. Generally, an interested stockholder is any person (other than a subsidiary of the corporation): (i) who is the beneficial owner of stock representing 10% or more of the corporation’s voting power or (ii) who is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and who, at any time within the two years immediately before the date in question, was the beneficial owner of stock representing 10% or more of the corporation’s voting power.
An exception exists if:
(a)
the business combination or the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder is approved by the board of directors before the person first became an interested stockholder; or
(b)
the business combination is approved by the board of directors and, at or after that time, the business combination is approved at a meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of holders of stock representing at least 60 percent of the outstanding voting power of the corporation not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder or the affiliates or associates of the interested stockholder.
After the two year period expires, business combinations remain prohibited unless:
(a)
(i) the business combination is approved by the board of directors prior to the date that the person first became an interested stockholder; (ii) the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder was approved by the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder; or (iii) the combination is approved at a meeting of the stockholders held no earlier than two years after the date the person first became an interested stockholder by the affirmative vote of the holders of stock representing a majority of the outstanding voting power of the corporation not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder or the affiliates or associates of the interested stockholder; or
(b)
the interested stockholder satisfies certain fair-value requirements.
NRS 78.411-.444
BRT-Nevada’s articles of incorporation and bylaws do not change this statutory rule.
|
Delaware law prohibits certain business combinations between the corporation and an interested stockholder within three years of the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. Generally, an interested stockholder is a holder: (i) who controls 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation or (ii) who is an affiliate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock at any time within the three-year period prior to the date upon which the status of an interested stockholder is being determined.
This prohibition does not apply when, among other things:
(a)
the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the individual becoming an interested stockholder is approved by the corporation’s board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder acquired such 15% interest;
(b)
upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at the time the transaction commenced;
(c)
at or after the date the person becomes an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by a majority of the board of directors of the corporation and an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock at an annual or special meeting and not by written consent, excluding stock owned by the interested stockholder.
This prohibition also does not apply if a stockholder acquires a 15% interest inadvertently and divests itself of such ownership and would not have been a 15% stockholder in the preceding three years but for the inadvertent acquisition of ownership.
DGCL Section 203
The Delaware certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not change this statutory rule.

•
|
Before the vote on the adoption of the Reincorporation occurs at the meeting, each stockholder who wishes to assert dissenters’ rights must give written notice to the Company of the stockholder’s intent to demand payment for his or her shares if the Reincorporation takes place and shall not vote or cause or permit to be voted his or her shares in favor of the proposed Reincorporation. Neither voting against, abstaining from voting, or failing to vote on the adoption of the Reincorporation will constitute notice of intent to demand payment or demand for payment of fair value within the meaning of NRS Section 92A.420.
|
|
•
|
A dissenting stockholder may NOT vote for approval of the Reincorporation. If a stockholder returns a signed proxy but does not specify in the proxy a vote against adoption of the Reincorporation or an instruction to abstain, the proxy will be voted FOR adoption of the Reincorporation, which will have the effect of waiving the rights of that stockholder to have his shares purchased at fair value.
