Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.

 

On June 30, 2022, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Zivo Bioscience, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the adoption of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Amended Bylaws”) effective immediately. The Amended Bylaws supersede the previously existing bylaws in all respects.  The Amended Bylaws contain several material amendments, including (1) creating a staggered or classified board, consisting of three classes of directors, with only one class being subject to stockholder election at any particular annual stockholder meeting after the initial election, (2) eliminating the ability of stockholders to take action pursuant to written consent, and (3) providing that only the Board may appoint a new member to fulfill a vacancy or increase or reduce the number of directors.  The Amended Bylaws also contain additional modernizing provisions relating to electronic meetings and access to corporate records.

The preceding description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Bylaws, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and are incorporated herein by reference.
