Cleaning Up the Corporate Kit?
Tuesday, July 08 2003 @ 05:50 PM EDT

SCO has just filed some documents with the SEC, on July 7, 2003, having to do with their name change to the SCO Group. The filing includes an Amendment to the corporation's Bylaws, dated May of 2001, signature line Ransom Love. I will write in more detail on this later, but for now, here is where you can find it. Or go to this page and look for line 75, "SCO GROUP INC . . . [text] [html] . . . 8-A12G/A . . . 07/07/2003 . . . 1332 ". Click on each filing in the list.

I looked quickly to see if the amendment was filed in 2001 with the SEC, but I don't see it. Maybe other eyes can find it. Here's the page to start looking.

There are several important matters addressed in the amendment, including immunity from liability for the execs from any lawsuit and some rather intriguing financial matters, having to do with Preferred Stock, as well as the issue of the apparent delay, which I'll address later. I wonder if this amendment was filed in Delaware in 2001 and what Delaware requirements are for corporations . . . I have a meeting to go to, so all I can do for now is post the urls. Meanwhile, have a look for yourself.

Does this extend to actions commited before the amendment was accepted/proposed/whatever?

No. But I believe when they first incorporated they had an indemnity clause.
It's fairly typical. When I get a minute, I plan on comparing the original and
this amendment to see exactly what changed. Or, please, be my guest and let me
know what you find. The SEC is a treasure trove. sec.gov. Search for Caldera
for the older material; SCO for the newer.
