(a)      Gary L. Pechota, a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Insteel Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), passed away unexpectedly on December 14, 2016. Mr. Pechota served on our Board since 1998 and we will greatly miss his leadership and trusted counsel.

 

Pending developments in its director selection process and any determination to appoint qualified new directors, the Board on December 19, 2016 approved and adopted an amendment to the Company’s bylaws (the “Bylaw Amendment”). The Bylaw Amendment was effective immediately and reduced the minimum size of the Board from six to five directors. In connection with the Bylaw Amendment, the Board determined to fix the size of the Board at five directors.

 

The foregoing description of the Bylaw Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaw Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
