Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On December 26, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of CEA Industries Inc. (the “Company”) adopted Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”). The Bylaws were last amended in 2018 when the Company was named Surna, Inc. and its principal business was designing environmental systems for cannabis cultivation facilities. The Amended and Restated Bylaws modify and supplement the provisions relating to stockholder meetings and stockholder action by written consent to include provisions that are common among public companies today.
The Amended and Restated Bylaws include, among other things, the following changes:
Stockholder Action by Written Consent
| ● | Requiring that stockholders seeking to take action by written consent must deliver a sufficient number of consents to the Secretary of the Company at its principal executive offices within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated valid consent delivered with respect to the proposed actions; | |
| ● | Requiring that stockholders may not take action by written consent, except in response to a solicitation by the Board, unless a holder of record of voting shares of the Company has first submitted a proper written request to fix a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to consent to the actions, which proper written request must include, among other things, as to the stockholder requesting that the record date be fixed, certain related parties, and the actions proposed to be taken by written consent, the information that the advance notice provisions described below would require to be set forth in a notice of such actions as if they were to be considered for an annual meeting of stockholders; | |
| ● | Requiring the Board to fix the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to consent to the actions within ten (10) days of receiving a proper written request, and which record date must be no earlier than the date the Board adopts the resolution fixing the record date and no later than ten (10) days after such date; | |
| ● | Requiring that a stockholder who requests that a record date be fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to consent to the actions by written consent must comply with certain obligations, including providing certain supplemental information upon request of the Company, updating its request, and providing notice of material inaccuracies or changes in its request; |
Special Meetings of Stockholders
| ● | Certain changes to the procedural mechanics for special meetings of stockholders called by stockholders, including the requirement that a stockholder first request that the Board fix a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to request that a special meeting be called, and the requirements that such requesting person and the stockholders calling the special meeting (except for certain solicited stockholders) must provide, as to such stockholders, certain related parties, and the actions proposed to be approved at the special meeting, the information that the advance notice provisions described below would require to be set forth in a notice of such actions as if they were to be considered for an annual meeting of stockholders; |
Advance Notice Provisions
| ● | Adopting ‘advance notice provisions’ for the nomination of directors and proposal of business (other than proposals under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) at annual and special meetings of stockholders, including: |
| ○ | Requiring that such notice for an annual meeting be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day, or earlier than the one hundred twentieth (120th) day, prior to the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders, except for certain situations in which the meeting is advanced or delayed more than a specified number of days, in the event that an annual meeting was not held in the prior year, and with respect to the first annual meeting of stockholders held after the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, in which case such notice must be received not earlier than the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting and (ii) the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of the meeting is first made by the Company; |
| ○ | Requiring that such notice for a special meeting be received by the Secretary not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special meeting and (ii) the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of the meeting is first made by the Company; | |
| ○ | Requiring that the notice must include certain information about the stockholder giving notice, certain related parties, the proposed business, and the proposed nominees, including information about their ownership of the shares of common stock of the Company, BNB tokens, and derivative instruments related to the common stock and BNB tokens; and | |
| ○ | Requiring the noticing stockholder to comply with certain obligations relating the notice and the annual meeting, including providing certain additional information upon request of the Company, updating its request, and providing notice of inaccuracies in its request; |
Other Changes
| ● | Providing that no individual shall be eligible to be appointed or elected as a director unless he or she has, within ten (10) days following a reasonable request from the Board or any of its committees, made himself or herself available to be interviewed by the Board or any of its committees regarding his or her qualifications to serve as a director or other reasonably related matters; | |
| ● | Adopting an exclusive forum provision requiring that certain claims, including derivative actions and claims for breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the Company, be brought in certain state courts of Nevada, or federal court in Nevada if such state courts do not have jurisdiction; and | |
| ● | Certain other changes regarding stockholder meetings, including: |
| ○ | Authorizing the Board to designate the date and time of the annual meeting of stockholders; | |
| ○ | Fixing the outside date for notice of a stockholder meeting as sixty (60) days prior to the date of such meeting; | |
| ○ | Clarifying that a person presiding at a meeting of stockholders may adjourn such meeting whether or not a quorum is present; and | |
| ○ | Clarifying that the Board may adopt rules for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the person presiding at a meeting of stockholders may prescribe such rules for the proper conduct of the meeting. |
