Item 5.03 Amendment to Articles of Incorporation

 

On May 20, 2013, International Bancshares Corporation (the “Company”) held its 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), at which the shareholders of the Company, upon the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company, approved and adopted an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. The amendment was previously approved and adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 28, 2013, subject to shareholder approval.  The amendment provides for a majority vote standard in uncontested director elections.

 

A copy of the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, which was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas on May 21, 2013, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.  The foregoing summary of the amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 3.1 hereto.

 

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

(1)         To elect nine (9) directors of the Company to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified;

 

(2)         To ratify the appointment of McGladrey LLP as independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013;

 

(3)         To consider and approve a non-binding advisory resolution to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executives as described in the Compensation, Discussion and Analysis and the tabular disclosure regarding named executive officer compensation in the Proxy Statement;

 

(4)         To consider an advisory vote regarding the frequency of the advisory approval of the Company’s executive compensation;

 

(5)         To consider and vote on a proposal to approve the 2013 Management Incentive Plan; and
