Angel Oak Mortgage REIT adopts Fifth Amended and Restated Bylaws

Angel Oak Mortgage REIT, Inc. (NYSE: AOMR) adopted its Fifth Amended and Restated Bylaws on October 6, 2026, a move that tightens procedural rules for shareholder actions and board nominations. The company disclosed the changes in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, noting the bylaws became effective immediately upon adoption by the board of directors.

The amendment introduces stricter requirements for shareholders seeking to call special meetings, mandating specific information and representations from requesting shareholders and related persons. It also refines the process for nominating directors and submitting proposals, requiring proposing shareholders to provide additional details about themselves and their nominees. The filing specifies that if an annual meeting is scheduled more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the first anniversary of the previous year's meeting, notice deadlines shift to no earlier than the 150th day prior to the meeting and no later than the 120th day prior, or the tenth day after public announcement of the date.

Board eligibility criteria have been updated to require any nominee to submit to interviews by the board or a committee within 10 days of a reasonable request. The new bylaws also clarify the authority of the board and shareholder meeting chairs to set rules for meeting conduct and establish exclusive forum provisions. State law claims must be heard in state courts, while complaints arising solely under the Securities Act of 1933 are directed to the federal district courts of the United States. The document includes various ministerial changes and updates for gender neutrality.
