Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers |
On February 11, 2014, the Board of Directors of Questar Corporation (Questar) adopted the Questar Corporation Clawback Policy (the Clawback Policy) which covers all Company officers (Executives) who are subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under the Clawback Policy, if the Board determines that a covered Executive’s misconduct directly or indirectly resulted in a required restatement of the Company’s financial statements, the Board may require reimbursement or forfeiture to the Company of all or a portion of any cash or equity-based incentive compensation paid in the three years preceding the date the Company publicly discloses that it is required to restate its financial statements. A copy of the Clawback Policy is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference.

Item 5.03 | Amendments to articles of incorporation or bylaws; change in fiscal year |
Effective February 11, 2014, Questar Corporation amended its Bylaws to clarify that directors may consent in writing to any action by electronic transmission as allowed under the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act. Section 26 of the Bylaws was amended as follows:
SECTION 26. Unless the Articles of Incorporation provide otherwise, any acts required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if all directors consent to the action in writing, including any electronic transmission permitted under the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (URBCA) . Action taken by consent is effective when the last director signs the consent, unless the consent specifies a different effective date. A signed consent has the effect of a meeting vote and may be described as such in any document.
The amendment is reflected in the Bylaws of the Company filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto.
