Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On April 14, 2014, the Board of Directors of PowerSecure International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), amended and restated the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws (“By-Laws”), to implement a majority voting standard in uncontested elections of directors.

The amendments to Article II, Section 2 and Article III, Section I of the By-Laws provide that in an uncontested election of directors, each director will be elected by a majority of the votes cast with respect to such director by the shares present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote in such election. Under the By-Laws, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast “for” a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director nominee. Any incumbent director who is a nominee for re-election and does not receive a majority of the votes cast with respect to that director’s election is required to promptly tender such director’s resignation to the Board of Directors, and that resignation is conditioned upon it being accepted by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors, after taking into consideration the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, will determine whether or not to accept the director’s resignation. A nominee who is an incumbent director and does not receive a majority of the votes cast will nevertheless continue to serve as a director until and unless our Board of Directors accepts such resignation. In a contested election, where the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast.

The foregoing description of the amendment to the By-Laws is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the By-Laws as amended and restated on April 14, 2014, which are filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
