EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form 8-A is filed by Iteris, Inc. (the “Company”) to reflect the expiration of the Company’s preferred stock purchase rights (the “Rights”) registered on the Form 8-A filed by the Company on February 5, 2016.

 

Item 1.  Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

 

Effective as of September 28, 2018, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”), dated as of August 20, 2009, by and between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent.  The Amendment accelerated the expiration of the Rights (as defined in the Rights Agreement) from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 20, 2019 to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 28, 2018, and had the effect of terminating the Rights Agreement at that time.  At such time, all of the Rights distributed to the holders of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Rights Agreement expired.

 

In connection with expiration of the Rights Agreement, on September 28, 2018 the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination (the “Certificate of Elimination”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to Section 151(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, to eliminate the one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of authorized shares of preferred stock of the Company that were designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), by a Certificate of Designation (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”) filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on August 21, 2009, which certificate established the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Series A Preferred Stock.  As a result of the filing of the Certificate of Elimination, all one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of Series A Preferred Stock resumed the status of authorized and undesignated shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company.

 

The foregoing summary of the Certificate of Elimination and Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Elimination and Amendment attached hereto as Exhibits 3.1 and 4.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
